McLaughlin Vineyards
From
Sunday, January 29, 2012 To Sunday, January 29, 2012
4pm. In this class we will focus on Pinot Noir and our goal will be to learn more about how varied its aroma and flavor profiles can be as we taste wines made by different winemakers around the world. This class has the added dimension of being blind. We will taste the wines randomly "in numbered brown bags" in order to eliminate any preconceptions about price, winery, or country. Nine wines and a fine selection of snacks and finger foods will be served. $55pp.
RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED. PLEASE CALL 203-426-1533.

This 100% is full-bodied, dense, and fuity with aromas of blackberry and plum balanced the smooth finish you all rave about. We also have this year a 2002 Viognier Walla Walla Valley, which just won a Bronze Medal at the Dallas Morning News Competition. Along with Glen Fiona's award winning syrah, you will be able to taste our 2001 Basket Press Reserve Lot 57 which was just awarded a Silver Medal at The Starwine International Competition.
