The good folks from Ardbeg distillery have sent Tatiana to taste their 10 year old single malt Scotch with us. Big, smokey and peaty from the Isle of Islay. Great on a fall evening and on through the winter. If you have never tasted this one it is worth the trip.
Here is what you may have missed this afternoon (sorry we didn't get it up earlier but it has been busy here today)!...
Wine Tasting 1-4pm Saturday, Nov 19
Your is Jennifer Englert of T. Edwards.
Alhambra Malbec 2008 $14.99
This wine sees a combination of stainless steel (for freshness) and barrel (for richness) for 10 months. It’s a wine with medium-plus body and exacting purity of flavors. The Alhambra offers up clean, juicy raspberry, kirsch and plum notes with soft tannins and sneaky-long palate presence.
Alloro Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2009 $19.99
Vibrant cherries and raspberries, dried tea leaf, and spice, with subtle hints of mint espresso. This is a medium body wine that is very soft on the palate, finishing with a lingering potpourri of fresh cherries and dried leaf.
Robert Sinskey Pinot Gris 2010 $22.99
Brilliant platinum blonde color and clean, true aromas of melon, ginger-spiced pear and apple blossom exemplify purity. Upon a sip, aromas expand into vibrant flavors, bright and youthful, with a delicate touch of floral perfume and almonds. The wine snaps with citrus-like crispness rarely seen in a New World white, contrasted with a richness that makes for one satisfyingly mouth-watering wine.
Vinedo de los Vientos Alcyone N.V. -- Atlantida, Uruguay $29.99/500ml
This red dessert wine, made 100% from the Tannat grape, has an amber purple color and a honey-like texture. With the addition of just a touch of winter flowers, Madagascan vanilla bean, wild apple mint, and white cacao soufflé, it is a sweet after dinner wine the likes of which most folks have never tasted before. It always evokes smiles and raised eyebrows to all who taste it.
