Spring Fling Wine Tasting, 19 April, 2008

Up on the tasting bar will be several cool whites, a "pink" Prosecco and a medium weight red from Argentina.

The lineup:

2007 Flying Fish, Riesling (WA) – Columbia Valley has been producing some fine Rieslings over the years, and the Flying Fish is no exception. Distinctive aromas and flavors of ripe peach and apricot that reflect both the varietal itself as well as wines of the Northwest are captured in this offering. The wine is named after the Sockeye Salmon, depicted on the label, that travel each year thousands of miles from the ocean up the Columbia river passing several of the vineyards that produce this wine. A portion of the profits form sales of the wine goes to the Ocean Conservancy to protect wild healthy oceans. $11.99/btl

2006 Valley of the Moon, Pinot Blanc (CA) – what a treat this wine is. A bright acidity integrated with lovely tones of fresh peach and grapefruit. This wine leaves you asking for more. $12.99/btl

2006 Alamos Chardonnay (AR) - Always a great value from the Catena producers, the 06 Alamos is "juicy with yellow apple, fig and butter notes that stay fresh and pure through the finish (WS 87 pts)." Deal at $9.99/btl.

2006 High Note Malbec (AR) - this has fast become one of our favorite Malbecs from the great Malbec-producing country of Argentina. Medium bodied soft and refined on the palate, it is loaded with delicious black fruit undertones. $12.99/btl

N/V Riouolo Pink Prosecco (IT) - light pink colored sparkler from Italy’s Veneto region. Frizzante (fine bubbles) with aromas of sweet cherries and fresh strawberries. Light to medium-bodied, lively, and "explosively fruity – this is a crowd pleaser "(the Grape Solution). $12.99/btl
