Greetings Centurians!
Our August tasting has officially been scheduled for Thursday, 8/25 at the Hop & Vine. Alex has put together an excellent selection for us focusing on single Rhône varietals from the Pacific Northwest. This will be a fun comparison since many of these are typically blended to make wines in France's Rhône region.
Here are the wines:
- 2010 Syncline Viognier
- 2009 Maison Bleu 'Petite Joie' Marsanne
- 2009 Ransom Cellars Grenache
- 2009 Syncline Mourvedre
- 2008 Gramercy Cellars 'Lagniappe' Syrah
The tasting will include all wines + nosh, and will be $20. We'll get started between 6:00 and 6:30, and we hope to see you there. Hopefully it'll be a nice evening to sit out in the courtyard.
Additionally, as I head back to school to get my MBA, I'm going to be stepping away from the management of this group. The Alex and Yetta at the Hop & Vine however are happy to keep things running in my leave. So while I'm leaning Mandarin and calculating Yuan conversions, they will be posting updates and hosting the group. We are also going to suspend passport stickers for the time being (sorry ... I know the stickers were the only reason so many of you attended!) but you can still keep your notes in one place with the passport.
Cheers!
Ryan
