Wine Tasting this Weekend
Start the weekend out right at Enoteca - Fine Wine & Beer!
This Friday from 4-7 Enoteca will be sharing a delicious selection of wine to go with Candace Frasher’s book Through the Grapevine. More details about the book are below. We will be tasting Saturday from 12-7 as well, which is a great time to taste wine to beat the rush. Taste a flight (2 oz. each of 4 wines) for $10 per flight, and follow up with a glass.
Elk Cove Pinot Gris 2006 (Willamette Valley, Oregon)
The 2006 Elk Cove Vineyards Pinot Gris (Pee-noe Gree) starts out with sweet aromatic fruits of the tropics; pineapple, guava and a touch of honeysuckle, hinting of springtime freshness, while also giving crispness on the palate with citrus and grapefruit. Yet true to the Elk Cove Vineyards’ style, there is a rich mouthfeel to give a full and satisfying balanced finish. Drink this lovely white wine as an aperitif or with a variety of food pairings from salmon and main-course salads to Asian and Thai influenced dishes.

Thurston Wolfe Howling Wolfe Zinfandel 2006 (Horse Heaven Hills, Washington)
2006 Howling Wolfe Zinfandel is from the Zephyr Ridge Vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills. The wine was aged in American oak for 14 months before bottling. Enjoy now with prime rib, rack of lamb or port-glazed pork loin or age through 2014.

Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 (Australia)
Inspired by Penfolds Bin 707, Bin 407 offers varietal definition and approachability, yet with structure and depth of flavour. A textbook Cabernet, the varietally expressive Bin 407 highlights the rewards of Penfolds multi-region, multivineyard blending, with a core of ripe fruit supported by a sensitive use of French and American oak.
Nose: An aromatic, active and distinctly Cabernet Sauvignon nose leaps out of the glass. Wafts of Asian spices, dried lemongrass, star anise and blackcurrant arise with air, dusty oak notes oscillate in and out.
Palate: True to vintage, the palate shows natural, mouthwatering acidity, balanced by complimentary stylish oak and a lithe, sinewy texture. The mid-palate is substantial; mouthfilling, yet long and defined - mandatory for the 100% Cabernet Bin 407 style. Cabernet tannins and a giveaway Cabernet flavour profile show, without astringence or greenness. We will have to wait, but could this release rival the 1991 or 1996 bin 407?
[Member: $29.69 / Retail: $32.99]
Andrew Will Cuvee Lucia Sangiovese 2005 (Ciel du Cheval Vineyard, Columbia Valley, WA)
The 2005 Andrew Will Cuvee Lucia Sangiovese (Sahn-joe-VAY-zeh) is an outstanding gourmet wine at a very reasonable price. The nose is filled with dried currant and spice. While the core of the wine is firm and pliable, it still has the structure to age. Strong and powerful, this wine exhibits all of the fruit flavors of cherry, dried plums, and other red and purple fruits. These ripe flavors are balanced by savory herbal notes and spiciness. It fills the mouth with sufficient weight on the palate and a long delicious finish.

Washington State has a secret weapon in the wine making world. Allen Shoup. Allen is the visionary behind
the Long Shadows project, which brings in the best wine makers in the world to make great Washignton State wines.
We love these wines so much we want to share them with as many people as possible.
Saturday June 14th, at 6:00 p.m., at Enoteca in Post Falls, we will be sharing all seven Long Shadows Vintners wines. Here is the list: Poet’s Leap Riesling, Chester-Kidder, Pirouette, Sequel Syrah, Saggi, Pedestal Merlot, and of course the Feather Cabernet Sauvignon. 2 oz. of each wine will be poured. This is a unique opportunity as these wines are extremely limited in nature and this is the only time of year we can get them all together in one place. As with all of our tasting events, the ticket price is simply to cover the cost of pouring the wine. The tasting starts at 6 p.m. on Saturday, June 14th. Tickets to attend are $35 per seat, paid in advance. Only 20 seats are available to this event. For complete details regarding the Long Shadows Vintners tasting event, click here. Club members can have tickets simply added to their Bin, and anyone can order tickets by coming into Enoteca in Post Falls, calling us at 208-457-9885 or sending us email at service@corkjoy.com . |
