Greetings!
We have a couple of strong wine tastings for you this week. Wednesday we start with wines from Pinnacle being poured by Joe Kanode. Not only is Joe a wine specialist, he is a former NCAA Division I Baseball star. Slide on out (sorry) and see Joe at 6:00 Wednesday. We also have a wine tasting on Friday, but Rhonda is in San Antonio and didn't leave me any notes about that one. It will probably be okay:)

Wednesday Tasting
Pavilion Chardonnay
This 2004 vintage has attractive fruit aromas of honey and dried thyme with hints of banana and guava with a touch of oak. Tropical nuances of banana, guava and passion fruit complement the bright acid in the palate. This wine is medium bodied with a moderate length crisp finish.
Vivacious Vicky Red
Vivacious Vicky Red is a delightful blend that makes any occasion a special occasion. Careful and considerate blending using flavor and drinkability as the objective yields some truly great stuff. Viva Vivacious Vicky!
Pavilion Cabernet Sauvignon
This full-bodied Cabernet begins with an impressive nose, laden with vanilla and toasty oak. A rich, complex mouth soon follows with flavors of blueberries, tobacco, dark chocolate and mint. Soft, well-integrated tannins make for a wine with many levels of enjoyment that is perfect for aging.
Earthworks Shiraz
"The 2006 Shiraz saw an identical regimen of tank and barrel. Purple-colored, it exhibits aromas of smoke, sausage, bacon, and blueberry which jumps from the glass. Medium-bodied, ripe, and sweet with no hard edges, this superb value can be enjoyed over the next 4-6 years." |
Jazz/Blues
Barnes Style During the tasting and a little while afterwords, William Barnes will be playing some soulful Jazz and light Blues. Come out for the Wine and the Music. |
Crist Sperling Saturday Night Crist Sperling will be playing at the Wine'd Down venue. As one of Birmingham's premier artists, Crist plays a wide variety of popular music and is always a crowd pleaser. |
|
Don't forget, we will be hosting our annual Superbowl extravaganza during the big game in a couple of weeks. Look for drink specials and a lot of tailgating food. Plan on spending the evening with us.
Come see us this week.
Thank you for your friendship,
Thomas Bonds Wine'd Down
