Wine Tasting Saturday the 28th 3-6

Wine Tasting this Saturday at the usual time.  We will be pouring neat wines as always and we will be throwing a fizzy lifting drink in the mix.

First Prosecco D.O.C. by Anselmi Prosecco or Glera, which it is sometimes referred to, comes from Italy in the Veneto .  A fresh and affordable way to drink bubbles- With notes of yeast, green apple and fresh citrus this wine is sure to please.  Oysters maybe…  $15

Second Viognier 2008 by White Knight. While having the same body weight as Chardonnay, Viognier tends to be more tropical in aromas and less “oaky” -sometimes.   Notes of peaches and cream with a touch of honey.  The wine is dry and would compliment many fish or poultry dishes.  Good Cali Viognier!!  $13

Third Pinot Noir 2008 by McWillam’s. For the money this is great Pinot.  Australia is makeing great stuff around the Mornington area.  This Pinot tends to be black fruit driven with plum, cherry and spice.  $12

And last Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 by Root:1. Chilean Cab peeps.  Actually very good, not as green as most.  This Cab is grown in the Colchaugua Valley in Chile.  Notes of deep cherry, mocha, and currant.   Wine would be great with a pork dish or a nice center cut chop. $15

Hope to see everyone at the tasting.

Cheers!!!!
