Saturday's Free Wine Tasting
September 4, 12:00 - 5:00
Whites
#1 - 2008 Vinum Africa Chenin Blanc (Africa) Btl $13.99 / Gls $5.00
This wine epitomizes the meeting of Old and New World wine. Ripe melon, citrus and white peach aromas meld seamlessly with notes of damp earth, wool, and wet stone.
#2 - 2009 Michel Torino Don David Torrontes (Argentina) Btl $16.99 / Gls $6.00
Wine of the Month--$14.99!!
The Don David Torrontes is a straw-colored wine with a bright nose of honeysuckle, musk, spring flowers, and tropical fruits; a medium mouth-filling body and light acidity. Great to drink by itself or with spicy Asian cuisine.
Reds
#3 - Trapiche Pinot Noir (Argentina) Btl $7.99 / Gls $3.00
Light-bodied yet full of flavor: wild raspberry and strawberry and cherry aromas, nice medium-length finish, and good acidity. The perfect red wine for the end of summer!
#4 - 2009 Maryhill Winemakers Red Blend (Washington) $9.99 / $4.00
This Washington blend has a ripe nose of boysenberry, fresh black cherry, and cranberry. The palate is darker with rich black fruit and juicy black currants ending on a bold finish of licorice, coffee, toasty tobacco, vanilla extract and dark chocolate.
