Mulled wines: Chilly weather is the ideal time to serve warm, spiced wine. Typically a dry or semi-dry red wine is heated in a crock pot with mulling spices (cinnamon, dried orange peel, nutmeg, etc.) and sugar. Mulled wine is perfect because 1) your house smells incredible 2) you can leave the crockpot on low and let guests serve themselves and 3) you can make it in less than 5 minutes. Try a blueberry wine with mulling spices for a deliciously different variation.  We will have mulled wine samples in the tasting room daily starting this month, and have printed instructions and premade mulling spice packets ready so you can easily recreate this wonderful libation yourself.

 

Nouveau wines: Originating in the Beaujolais region of France, these "new" red wines are fruity (think banana and bubblegum) and easy to drink. In France, they are released on the third Thursday in November, with widespread celebration. Noveau wines are unique in that the process from harvest to bottle is only about 6-8 weeks, and the resulting wine is fruit-forward, light-bodied, and has very little tannin. Serve slightly chilled for best taste.  In keeping with tradition, Satek will release our own Nouveau wine (made from our own Marechal Foch grapes) on Thursday, November 15.  Last year's Nouveau sold out in less than 4 days, so don't wait too long to stop in and sample it.  It will retail for $11.15 a bottle.

 

Ice Wines: Ice Wines are nectarlike, refreshingly sweet, and meant to be savored. Made using grapes left on the vine to freeze, the ice wine process is very labor-intensive and results in a very small yield. Ice wines are full-bodied and have a long, lingering finish, and are known for intense layer after layer of flavor-- truly a special occasion wine.  Satek proudly offers our Vidal Blanc Ice Wine, which garnered a Concordance Gold medal at the INDY International Wine Competition this year, for tasting for a nominal fee.  Plan to toast your family's Thanksgiving dessert or ring in the New Year with a bottle of this exquisite wine.

 

Know that our friendly staff is always available to help you with your wine selections and suggest wine pairings for your meals.

Presented in a fun and informative way, instructors from Satek will guide students through the rationale behind wine pairing by teaching them how to identify what characteristics of the foods and wines complement each other. Attendees will leave with a better sensory appreciation of food and wine, and be able to take what they've learned and apply it in future settings.

 

During the evening, guests will be treated to the gourmet talents of Linda Hankins of Apron's Inn, whose presentation almost rivals the taste of her food!  Prepare to savor a 9-course, sit-down meal with an emphasis on traditional holiday fare, but with a unique twist. Courses include 2 appetizers, a soup course, a salad course, a first course, 2 main entrees, and 2 desserts. During each course, one to two Satek wines will be presented as options, to demonstrate how wine can both compliment the food or contrast and enhance the flavors.

 

Guests will have the opportunity to purchase Satek wines at the end of the class at a 10% discount. Only a few tickets remain for this event, which has a maximum of 32 students. The course is priced at $50 per person. Click on the link below for the full menu and to reserve your spot:
