30 Jun Yard Dog White is here, July 4th closing & Jazz Thursday is on!
We loved the Yard Dog Red and now you can try the Yard Dog White! We will taste it tonight with a new red wine from Spain!
Today’s Tasting!
Yard Dog White from Australia ($14.99) – Some richness from the Chardonnay and the Semillon with the Sauvignon Blanc giving the wine some herbal aromatics and the Viognier giving the wine spiciness and lifted floral aromatics. Pale yellow. color. Lifted aromatics that mix white fruit like white peaches and pears along with an assortment of flowers. Bright and zesty with a creamy mid-palate.
Tres Picos Borsao Garnacha from Spain ($18.99) – “Glass-staining purple. Lively, faintly medicinal aromas of cherry, blueberry and licorice, plus hints of smoky herbs and flowers. Juicy and expansive, offering sweet, deeply pitched bitter cherry and dark berry flavors supported by a taut spine of acidity and fine-grained tannins. Finishes with powerful spicy thrust and suggestions of candied flowers and woodsmoke. This could pass for a northern Rhone wine, and a really good one at that.” 91 Points International Wine Cellar. “This rich red is brimming with raspberry jam, chocolate, licorice and wild herb flavors. Firm tannins are well-integrated and buoyed by orange peel acidity. A lively modern style. Drink now through 2015. 5,000 cases imported.” 90 Points Wine Spectator.
