Weekly Saturday Tasting

Fall Flavors

Saturday, October 18th
1:00 - 3:00

In North Carolina, we are certainly used to seeing a faux Fall, sometimes even several, but it looks like we are finally truly turning the corner into cooler weather. For our tasting this Saturday, we are going to embrace the change in seasons, and highlight some of our favorite selections for Autumn. We will be delving into white wines that get a bit more weight and body than the lighter styles enjoyed during the hot summer months, and reds that are full flavored but not quite the heavy reds that will be so tasty next to a roaring fire in a few months. We'll aim to tone down the acidity that was so crisp and refreshing in July, looking for wines that will be more rich and lush for October. We'll move towards robustly flavored wines that match up with slow roasted foods versus the charcoal flavors of the patio grill, and work more with the flavors of the season. More apple and and honeyed spice in the the whites, and some earthier tones in the reds to go along with flavors of root vegteables and more spice and smoke. We think we've got a great selection to sample on Saturday that will match all of your Autumn needs!
