Wine Tasting - Saturday 1-4PM, Jul 20

Your Host is Jim Morrison of Artisan Wines.


Elena Walch Pinot Grigio 2012                          $17.99
This has a light straw yellow color and fruity notes of ripe pears, white pepper and a bit of sage on the nose.  Mineral-salty richness and a prolonged are distinctive on the palate. It is a wine with backbone that will complement many foods.

Emerson Pinot Noir 2010                                    $18.99
Aromas of cassis, rocky earth, and forest floor give way to an expansive palate, offering flavors of black cherry and plum. The classic weighty Pinot texture is overlaid with earthy, mineral notes. Balanced acidity and fine-grained tannins frame the long, complex finish.  Drink now or age for 3-5 years.

Kelley Fox Maresh Vineyard Pinot Noir 2010  $59.99
Made using fruit sourced from 40-year-old vines, this elegant and detailed Pinot Noir does not shy away from flavors of leaf and herb. But they are anchored in pure and expressive fruit, with old-vine flavors of bramble and pepper. What is most exceptional is the delicacy and length of this wine, two characteristics shared by all of the Kelley Fox wines.  Wine Enthusiast, 94 pts

Luigi Baudana Barolo 2004                               $49.99
Ripe strawberry and raspberry aromas follow through to a medium-to-full body, with fine tannins and a long, caressing finish. Balanced and pretty. Best after 2011.  Wine Spectator, 90 pts
