All About Freshness

Tonight’s wine tasting is focused on freshness, and how it is perceived. Alcohol content, acidity, tannin, and winemaking styles all contribute to how we as consumers perceive freshness in a wine. Come taste these incredible wines and see what “fresh” means to you.

1). Orsola Gavi: 100% cortese from a vineyard that has been making wine since 1367! Full bodied and full of vigor: clementine, citrus, honey suckle, and a dry finish.

2). Chat Fou: “Crazy Cat”, a Grenache dominant blend with a touch of white wine added from the Northern Rhône. Fruity, and joyfull, this wine always puts a smile on my face.

3). Folk Machine “Parts and Labor”: a fun new blend of Grenache, carignan, and Syrah from California. Tempered to a modest 12.4% alcohol, this wines flavors and aromatics are uninhibited.

4). La Senda “ Vindemiatrix”: a Mencis dominant blend from the Jose pastor portfolio. Fully organic, with zero added sulphites. This wine tickles me with how spry and enticing it is.
