Join Rick Bowman for this informative tasting of some of our favorite European summer wines. The old vine Chignin from Berthollier is a great way to get things started, with its refreshing citrus/mineral-inflected palate of bright, clean mountain grown fruit (ideal as an aperitif or with picnic fare) sure to please even the most discriminating wine lover. The ripe fruit bowl flavors (pear/apple/melon) of Anton Bauer’s Best of 2012 are the perfect fit for the dog days of summer and lighter fare. The lively, medium-bodied, cherry and slightly spicy flavors of the Tempranillo Tinto from Burgo Viejo are perfectly suited for lighter grilled foods (BBQ, fowl and salmon) and the spicy, full-bodied Syrah/Grenache from the Domaine Font Sarade is filled with complex fruit flavors as well as a peppery spiciness making it a natural with the grilled meats of summer. Join us to taste, learn, enjoy and save at our Free Saturday Tastings!
