Tasting Today - New World W**es - 1:00 - 7:00pm
We had an Old World focus at our last tasting, so today we are switching gears to the New World with w**es from California, South Africa and Australia. The New World regions, encompassing the Americas and the southern hemisphere, tend to be warmer and the w**es exhibit more ripeness and bolder primary flavors. Today’s w**es embrace that side of things while maintaining balance and intrigue.
We will begin with a ch*****ne style sparkler from California that has great bubbles and a rich, creamy texture. Our two whites are from South Africa, beginning with a Chenin Blanc that has racy acidity running through a generous palate of white fleshy stone fruit, then moving on to a Chardonnay with a beautifully lifted and lively mouthfeel and tropical fruit flavors. For reds we have a Grenache from Australia that is dark fruited with smoky undertones and a dense, full-bodied Old Vine Zinfandel from California that bursts with bright red berry flavors.
I hope to see you this afternoon.
