Wine Tasting Please Join Us Friday June 6 - 6-9 p.m. - No Charge  1 - Francois Cazin Cour-Cheverny 2006 $15  Cour-Cheverny is made from Romartin, a local variety of grape introduced to the region in 1519. The wine exhibits bright acidity and classic Loire minerality, with a fresh lemon finish that lasts for days. 2 - Von Schleinitz Spatburgunder Weissherbst 2005 $11  From Weissherbst is the German word for rose wine, where then red color and tannins of the Pinot Noir grape are only slightly extracted . The fine Pinot Noir aromas and vibrancy make this rose a perfect summer wine. 3 - Can Blau Montsant 2006 $18  Robert Parker: "This is a brilliant offering from Montsant, the Spanish appellation that could be called the poor person's Priorato. A blend of old vine Carignan, Syrah, and Grenache planted on clay and slate soils, it reveals an inky ruby/purple color, a classic raspberry and black cherry bouquet, medium body, wonderful minerality and definition, and surprising freshness as well as intensity for its price. It should drink well for 2-4 years." 4 - Les Tourells de Longueville 2005 $56  The Wine Spectator, "Wonderful aromas of crushed raspberry, Indian spices and flowers follow through to a full body, with silky tannins and a long, long finish. The second wine of Pichon-Longueville-Baron. Best after 2011" Please Call Us Anytime With Questions - 8 6 0 - 4 4 3 - 9 4 6 3 |
