‘Insert Your Last Name’ Wine Tasting ‘Insert Date’

Cheese Paring: La Tur – Piedmont Italy (Goat, Cow & Sheep) Great balance with bright acidity are the trademark of this wine. The Bien Nacido Y Block Chardonnay is barrel fermented in 25% new Burgundy barrels, which frame the crisp apple and Asian pear flavors with a lovely savory, buttered toast finish. Fermented entirely with naturally occurring yeast – this is an alternative style of sauvignon blanc that is both intricate and textural. A delicate combination of musky peach-skin aromatics and gentle citrus- blossom notes – a dash of lime cordial and a hint of saffron. The palate is lusciously herbal, long and refreshing with flavors of white nectarine flesh, dill and hints of fennel. The finish is succulent and crisp with almost a flinty dryness.

Cheese Paring: Missouri Truckle – Missouri (Cow) A nose full of spice and succulent black cherries leads into a snappy combo of dark currants and cherries that makes for a palate-exciting yet easy- drinking Pinot The 2009 Novy Napa Syrah is an opaque black….with dark, concentrated flavors of plum mocha, and earth. The wine is full and rich, with remarkable concentration and layers of complex flavors. Pinot Noir Syrah

Cheese Paring: Taleggio – Lonbardy, Italy (Cow) This offering begins with aromas of ripe berry and subtle oak tones. The bright flavors of plum, blackberry and black cherry are its core and deliver a soft, fruity and smooth mouth-coating texture. It is precisely balanced all the way to it's finish with pleasing length. Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot The 2011 J. Lohr Hilltop Cabernet Sauvignon is darkly- colored with a red-purple hue. Varietal aromas of violet and ripe black plum are complemented by hazelnut, dark chocolate and espresso coffee. The dense but approachable mid-palate is followed by a round, intense fruit finish.
