Winemaker Ross Rankin has proved himself a patient man. This wine project began in 2007. Every year he tasted, considered the flavors, decided not to bottle. Finally, the flavors he desired were there. He bottled and has now released his 2007 Winged Paradise Mountain Syrah.
We recently had the opportunity to taste a selection of six white wines courtesy of the Santa Barbara County Vintners’ Association as part of #winechat on Twitter. The timing could not have been more perfect. With summer temperatures well into the “hot” range, white wines are definitely in order.
May is Finger Lakes Wine Month, a month-long celebration of the wines and wineries of the Finger Lakes AVA (American Viticultural Area) in New York state. As part of the promotion of this celebration, the Finger Lakes Wine Alliance organized an online tasting of wine from five Finger Lakes wineries.
#winechat Wednesday – Value Wines
Today on #winechat the theme was \”Value wines, $10 or less\” and it was hosted by Dezel Quillen (@myvinespot).
We enjoy wine, food and travel. Pull That Cork is a chronicle of our wine adventures, the food and wine pairings we create and our travels which are increasingly organized around wine.
