April Women Tasting Wine
Mon., April 20, 4-6pm
April Women Tasting Wine features Southern Rhone Wines, presented by John Aylward of Vin de Garde Wines and Columbia Selections Distributors. John is an excellent presenter, who guided WTW through Syrahs in October and Cabernet Sauvignon wines in January.
Here’s WTW’s wrap-up of last month’s event: “Their 2006 Dijon Clones Chardonnay oozed lemon zest, minerality and a rich viscosity and paired perfectly with Chef Tim’s Grilled Shrimp and Seafood Risotto. Each of the three 2006 Pinot Noirs – the Dijon Clones, Amalie’s Cuvee and the Estate – were filled with layers of rich fruit and were enhanced by the Roasted Mushrooms and Brie Toasts. The 2006 Syrah was perfectly complemented by Chef Tim’s exquisite Syrah Braised Boneless Beef Short Ribs.”
