Here is this Tuesday night’s wine recommendation:
2006 Andrew Rich Pinot Noir “Cuvee B” Willamette Valley, Oregon. Bright medium Ruby color. On the nose aromas of plum, red fruits, floral, cinnamon, vanilla, earth and menthol. On the palate it shows flavors of cola, baking spice, cranberry, red cherry and vanilla. The tannins are ripe and well integrated, acid and alcohol are in balance with the fruit. Elegant texture and a long finish dominated by oak but showing moderate complexity. Overall a nice wine, however the use of oak seams to dominate a little too much for my taste.
A Good value for the price COST=$28.
The Stories Behind Wine Episode 2 – Oslavia – Drinking History
Inspired by the book, “Ribolla Gialla Oslavia: The Invisible Part of a Wine,” we travel to a little village in Italy called Oslavia that has been gaining popularity in the wine world for producing non-traditional, original wines with the Ribolla Gialla grape. The battle ground for both 20th century world wars, this area experienced complete destruction only to have strong independent winemakers return to replant its vineyards and rebuild. With Ribolla Gialla, you can drink Oslavia’s history.
