Weekly Wine tasting July 11
Every Fourth of July I like to remind people to “Watch out for Elephants!” That’s because of a limerick that was popular in our neighborhood when I was a kid. It goes like this:
“I asked my mother for fifty cents
To see the elephant jump the fence;
He jumped so high he touched the sky, and
Didn’t come down till the Fourth of July.”
Well, fortunately no elephants appeared, always a big relief. However we did have some kind of record-breaking crowd, reminiscent of Studio Tour weekends…Janice was handling the chocolate tasting, I poured wine till my wrist hurt, and Pat did the ten thousand other things, while the revelers danced on.
This Saturday we will be back at it again with:
- Montinore Borealis White Oregon
grapefruit, pineapple, peach, and quince with aromas of fresh flowers - Santa Digna Carmenere ‘07 Chile
Chalky notes of toasty plums, blueberries, and raisins - Terre Rouge Cote de L’Ouest Syrah ‘03 California
Soft, rich flavors of ripe plum, blueberry, and chocolate - Pend D’oreille Cabernet Sauvignon ‘03 WashingtonRichly textured layers of dark fruits that whisper “baarrbecuuuue….faaaat…”
