Italian Wine Tasting Tonight with a Magnum!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have a great lineup for tonight!\u00a0 Here is what we will be tasting!<\/p>\n

Angioletta Moscato from Italy ($12.99)<\/strong> –\u00a0 This semi-sweet and slightly effervescent wine tickles your taste buds like the gentle caress of an Angel’s wing.\u00a0 The flavors sing to all your sense with delicate fruit flavors of peach and apricot, with a touch of honey.<\/p>\n

Soave Classico Capitel Tenda from Italy ($19.99)<\/strong> – The 2009 Soave Classico Capitel Tenda is quite pretty and understated in its white peaches, flowers, almonds and mint. This fresh, perfumed Soave is an excellent choice for drinking over the next year or two. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2013. Robert Parker 88pts.<\/p>\n

Sasyr Sangiovese & Syrah from Italy ($19.99)<\/strong> – Nearly opaque, dark garnet in colour, aromas of sweet violet and damp earth pushed up out of my glass. Fruity cherry and plum flavours were fortified by smooth, supple leather notes in the medium body.\u00a0 The brief finish displayed zippy white pepper sprinkled with hints of earthy dried thyme. Easy drinking and straightforward, this is a soft, simple glass that can be enjoyed on its own or with a meal.<\/p>\n

I Tre Vescovi Barbera d’Asti from Italy \u00a0($18.99)<\/strong> – A wonderful Barbera from VVS, \u201cThe Three Bishops\u201d is a testament to the quality of this winery, and at a wonderful price.\u00a0 A step up from Kroara, this Barbera from the smaller Asti zone is both fruit forward and pleasing, and complex. A very nice wine to enjoy with meat or mushroom based pasta sauces, or with a plate of mature cheese.<\/p>\n

Rocca Delle Macie Chianti Classico from Italy Magnum ($34.99)<\/strong> – \u00a0A lot of you have looked at this bottle and wanted to taste it.\u00a0 So for this special tasting I have decided to open the Magnum and let you all try it for yourself!\u00a0 “This bright, ruby and garnet-colored Chianti Classico offers integrated acidity and finely polished tannins backed by a pretty bouquet of fresh berry aromas.” – Wine Enthusiast<\/p>\n

We will start the tasting tonight about 6:00 p.m.\u00a0 Recorded Jazz will be playing!\u00a0 Let’s keep the Thursday night tradition going at Chateau La Vin!<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, September 12th, Jerry Green from Koerner Distributing will be in the shop to help with Chateau La Vin’s first wine class!\u00a0 We will feature six great higher end red wines from all over the world.\u00a0 You will be able to taste each of the wines while Jerry provides you with some history of the wine and information about the specific vintage.\u00a0 We will have cheese and crackers that will pair well with the wines too!\u00a0 The cost is only $35 per person!\u00a0 Space is limited for the class and your reservation is confirmed with your payment.\u00a0 We will start the class at 7:00 p.m.\u00a0 More information will follow on the wines, but I wanted to get the word out as soon as possible.\u00a0 This is a fantastic opportunity to taste some great wines that you don’t usually get to taste!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
