Wine Tasting Please Join Us
Friday February 5 - 6-9 p.m.
No Charge
A Great Way To Start Your Weekend.
Gewurtztraminer Connecticut 2008 $23
We're big fans of the Jonathan Edwards winery in nearby North Stonington and their small productions using Connecticut grown fruit are always our favorites. Their Gewurztraminer plantings have proved particularly well-suited to our soils of ancient glacial runoff and granite bedrock. This is their new release, made in very small quantities, tended, harvested and made by hand. The wine glows with fresh grapefruit, lemon and spice with a very clean finish. A true local gem!
Angeline Pinot Noir $12
From the coastline of Santa Rosa California comes this charming little Pinot at a great price. Wild berry fruit and a velvety texture, this wine tends more to the tart and fresh tones of Pinot rather than darker loamy notes. This light red would be the perfect foil to a pan-roasted filet of wild salmon with some tangy swiss chard.
Tenuta Sant' Antonio Scaia Rossa $12
This is a great little Italian red from an esteemed family of wines made in the northern region of Veneto.
100% Corvina - scents of roses and violet, with flavors of cherries, blackberry and currant. An elegant, very authentic hand made table wine. The winemaker recommends pairing it with Venetian dishes such as gnocchi with goat cheese, pasta with beans, sausage risotto, aged cheeses, and my favorite: toasted polenta with herrings!
Vega Escal Priorat $21
 The fun part about these tastings is that you can try something very special which is not going to jump out at you from the shelf and may well be something you've never heard of. This is a Big Red, Carignan, Grenache and Shiraz from the region of Priorat, on the northeastern coast of Spain just west of Barcelona.
Winemaker comments: "Its aroma reminds red fruits, chocolate and vanilla. In the mouth this wine reminds raspberry jam. It is mineral, warm, smooth, silky..."
When the label is in broken English we can be sure there's no marketeers messing around with the wine. Just the way we like it!
