Summer Wines
Attendees will investigate the refreshing, aromatic wines that go
so well with the foods of summer. We'll discuss vinification
techniques winemakers use to preserve the heady aromas of
these refreshing wines, as well as talk about food pairings.
Summer recipes, designed specifically to enhance these wines,
will be included with the class notes for each attendee. The wine
line-up includes:
Uvaggio 2007 Barbera Rosato
Qupé, 2007 Bien Nacido Cuvee
Au Bon Climat, 2004 “Hildegard"
Calzada Ridge, 2007 Viognier (Rare!)
Arcadian, 2003 Chardonnay, Sleepy Hollow Vineyard
Radog, 2007 Gewurztraminer
