| FRIDAY NIGHT TASTING DATE: Friday, July 23, 2010 TIME: 5:00-7:00 PM LOCATION: 700 Tenacity Dr. #102 Longmont, CO 720-652-9463 WINES OF CHILE Join us this Friday night for sampling two lovely wines from Chile. White- Apaltagua Reserva Chardonnay 2009- This Chardonnay has a golden color and is fresh and clean to the nose. It is characterized by notes of apple, melon and peach.. In the mouth, it is crisp, dry and refreshing. It has a nice acidity. The finish is relatively long, with melon and peach flavors lingering. This is a "naked Chardonnay" which means it has not been in oak. Serve with grilled salmon, medium -bodied cheeses, light chicken and pork dishes. Red Apaltagua Reserva Carmenere 2008- Made from 100% Carmenere grape which is considered the "lost Bordeaux" variety, as it was originally planted in Bordeaux, but was abandoned there because it was too late ripening for the Bordeaux climate. Thankfully, the Carmenere variety was imported to Chile where it not only survives (because of the longer growing season) but makes an exceptionally good wine. It shows a spicy, plummy nose and ripe, berryish fruit on the palate. Minimal intervention and gentle handling have been used to preserve the quality and character of the fruit., This wine is an impressive introduction to the Carmenere grape. Pair with pizza, grilled burgers, lasagna, grilled red meat such as lamb, ostrich or duck. Cheers! PS-Just a reminder that we have a new BEER CLUB that started this month. 2-3 Bomber-size bottles of beer for around $25.00. Ask for details when you come in. Our WINE CLUB is also available for membership. |
