Wine Tasting 1-4pm Saturday, Jan 28


Your host will be Janice Monteleone of Harry's.
Graduate of Quinnapiac College, Janice began her career as a Paralegal and spent 20 years at a well known and reputable law firm in New Haven. Since meeting Patrick at a wine tasting in May of 2003, she has turned in her Pinot Grigio for Pinot Noir and has become quite the aficionado. Like her husband Patrick, Janice loves to travel the world’s great wine regions and is always looking for to the next place to explore. There is nothing like being there to really make you understand the wine and its culture.

The Girls in the Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 $15.99
This Cabernet is grown on the upper slopes of the Beckstoffer Amber Knolls Vineyard in the Red Hills of Lake County. After fermentation the wine is separated into distinct parcels and given a range of oak treatments from new French oak to none at all. This wine exhibits classic mountain characters of intensity and balance with a ripe cherry aroma. It’s a mid-weight wine that has mineral and classic cabernet varietal character. The tannins are moderate with good length.

Montaubret Brut Champagne N.V. $29.99
A blend of 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay, this Brut is aged for 3 years prior to release. It offers a level of complexity normally reserved for more expensive cuvees. It’s a great value Champagne for $29.99 per bottle.
