Wine Tasting - Saturday 1-4PM, May 18

Your Host is Deidre Magnello.

We've got an absolutely beautiful day going this Saturday. As people begin to move around town picking up their plants for the garden and steaks and chops for the grill it is worth thinking about beating next weeks crush and picking up some Memorial day supplies early.
Then, tonight you'll be able to sit back and pop open the lighter whites and rosés while sitting out on the deck or patio and enjoying the beautiful evening ahead.
Coeur Esterelle Cotes de Provence Rose 2012   $12.99
Fresh strawberries on the nose. Very lush on the palate with strawberries, some plum, and melon. Nice acidity to give it balance and length.

St. Urbanshoff Urban Riesling 2011                           $9.99
An elegant, crisp and fruity Riesling with a hint of natural residual sweetness. This wine has the typical light character of the Riesling grape and the style of a classic Mosel Riesling.  The wines of 2011are already nicely accessible, even as fresh young wines.

Milcampos Ribera del Duero 2010                     $15.99
The 2010 Milcampos Vinas Viejas comes from vines planted in 1930 and raised in French and American oak barrels. The nose is bashful at first with subtle black cherry, iodine and violet scents, but the palate is simply divine with filigree tannins and an effortless, pure, poised finish that cleanses the mouth and leaves you yearning for that next drop. Outstanding. Drink 2013-2020.    Wine Advocate, 94 pts

Ceralti Scire Bolgheri Rosso 2010                      $14.99
A medium-bodied red, elegant and lively, showing cherry, floral and strawberry flavors, backed by firm but not overpowering tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2013 through 2019.   Wine Spectator, 88 pts
