Hey Ya'll,
Well, things continue to move along in the winery and vineyard. The 2009 White wines are getting closer and closer to bottle. The 2009 Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling are truly stunning wines. We will have a terrific line-up of wines to replace the 2008's when they run out and there is not much of them left. You better snatch them up and let folks know that the 2008's are almost running out.
The 2008 Riesling is just starting to open up and change aromatically. When it first went into the bottle it had intense tangerine peel and white tea leaf aromatics with a balanced acidity. The wine now has about a year in bottle and the acidity has settled down a wee bit and the tangerine peel and white tea leaf have begun to turn into petroleum. If you are newer to the whole idea of tasting wine think Vaseline and or fuel(I know this is weird). This group of aromatics in wine are referred to as "Petrol" like. Well, the 2008 whites are just starting to evolve and will age very well. All of the whites are changing and will taste beautifully for the next 3-5 years. I do believe the viognier and chardonnay will drink well for at least 5-7 years if aged properly.
The wine club event on Saturday, March 13th will be a lot of fun. In addition to being able to taste the 2007 Cab Franc, 2007 Cab Sauv, and 2008 Five-O White I will have tank samples of the 2009 Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling. The new wine club releases will again be paired with tasty morsels prepared by Larry Kohlar of L.K. Catering. Larry prepared those awesome mini-pot pies that paired amazingly with the 2008 Estate Reserve Chardonnay at the last wine club release party.
But, that's not all!!! We will have Arthur Murray Dance Studios of Southampton and Patchogue on hand to give a group dance lesson to our wine club members. Arthur Murray is great!!! Bridget and I have been taking dance lessons for the past 3 years!!! Rumor has it we may just be showing off some of our fancy footwork. Bottom line is this wine club release/pick-up party will be a lot of fun!!! I hope to see you there!!! And if you are not a wine club member, what are you waiting for? Stay warm and think Spring.
