Around the World Tasting

 

Here We Go Around The World Again!

Travel is fun, but during the holidays it may be daunting… So here we bring the travel to you and all you have to do is drink it! Fantastic wine varieties from Italy, Oregon, France, Californian then home for Washington! Please come and enjoy post-holiday (and pre-Holiday) amazement.

 

@ Humble Vine, Saturday December 28th

4PM- until the bottles run dry..

 

La Spinetta, Rose, Tuscany Italy $22

Year after year, this Provence-inspired pink from Tuscany continues to impress us with its delicacy, elegance and world-class taste! Cherry blossom and orange peel flavors combine with notes of acacia flower, strawberry and spice.

 

Roots, Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc, Willamette Oregon $25

It is not very often you run a cross a sparkling Sauvignon Blanc. This dude is rare, hip, and toats dee-lish. From the afore mentioned Roots wine company that is cool and funny. This wine is exotic and special.

 

Paul Autard, Cotes d’ Rhone, Rhone France $21

This beautiful wine is hand harvested and aged entirely in tanks for 6 months. Full bodied babe, fruity and expressive. The nose reveals aromas of garrigue and licorice on the palate raspberry and cherry with its long finish and peppery. Made with 70%Grenache 20% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre.

 

Spicerack, Syrah, Sonoma County CA $25

Superb cool climate sites in Sonoma Coast bring intensity of aromas and nuanced flavors to this California wine. These delicious Syrah grapes were carefully hand-sorted, gently pressed, and aged 12 months in French Oak Barrels. This winery only released 16 barrels… about 400 cases (you better get it while you can)!

 

 

Michael Florentino, Monastrell, Yakima Valley WA $29

Now landing in Washington (woot woot)! Here we have a Monastrell A.K.A Mourvedre. This is a nice, drinkable red from Yakima Valley, though it does not have any varietal focus. There's light red fruit, some sense of minerality, and balancing acidity.
