It's Thursday!
Hey all,
It's August in New Orleans and nobody's pretending otherwise, so tonight Andrew's pouring three whites, all crisp, all cold, from Oregon, Spain, and Italy.
First up is the Ouest White from Division Winemaking in the Pacific Northwest. It's a wild-ferment blend made by Loire-trained w**emakers, so it drinks closer to a French white than anything domestic you've had lately. Stone fruit, citrus, a little savory edge.
Then we have the Care Garnacha Blanca from Cariñena in Aragón, back by popular demand. It's old-vine white Grenache with this nose of green apple and orange zest, fresh and clean with a nice bit of weight behind it.
Last one is the Terre Porziane Frascati Superiore from just outside Rome, made from Malvasia Puntinata, the ancient native grape that nearly disappeared. Peach skin, white flowers, a salty mineral cut.
Every bottle in the building is 10% off during the tasting, 5 to 7pm, as always.
So come on down tonight, grab a glass, learn more from Andrew, and get some bites from the vendors to pair. Bring friends or come make some.
Meet me at St. Roch,
Kevin
