MUSINGS MONTHLY WINE TASTING EVENTS

All 2019 Wine Tastings

The Lost Bottle...A Cautionary Tale...
I recently wrote about a "Cautionary Tale," wherein, we discovered a bottle of a wine that had been "lost" in the cellar. Tasting the wine showed that it had started its gradual decay… in this case, we caught the last bottle at the point of just beginning to fade… Back in 2013 we hosted an event called The Lost Bottle, where we tasted through several wines that had been "lost," and then "found" during a cleanup of the cellar. Happy to report that only two out of fourteen wines showed negatively during that event. A more recent cleanup has again yielded another crop of "lost bottles," so we thought we would conduct the event all over again. To accompany the wines, we will also serve a collection of artisanal cheeses and breads to complement the wines.

Summer Sippers
Summer is a time for easy drinking, high-value wines that require very little thought or demand even less contemplation. The wines of summer should be light and refreshing, pairing well with the usually light repasts or foods from the grill. At this event we will examine several wines, both white and red that are light, refreshing and represent good value.

2016 Bordeaux, Part I
Bordeaux is perhaps the best-known wine region in the world, with elegant, age worthy wines celebrated, and imitated across the globe. For the last two decades, Bordeaux has had a string of vintages that have maintained its reputation for fine wine. The most recent and available of these vintages is 2016 – more highly-touted than 2015 and very well-received. At this event we will delve into the first flight of wines from the 2016 vintage and assess for ourselves whether it is worth the hype. Along with several superb 2016 wines, we will also share in a selection of artisanal cheeses and breads.

Sparkling Wines
Every other December we always conduct a Champagne tasting, which is so appropriate given the festive nature of the season. This year, we've elected to expand the topic to sparkling wines in general, to help showcase some truly wonderful bubbles from some places other that France.
