Sunday, August 16th

Swing by on Sunday to have a swig of two distinctly unique wines from disparate parts of the world. We’ll be pouring an electrically crisp Sauvignon Blanc from Slovenia and rich and complex plum wine from Japan. They are more of a contrast than a comparison, but both are not to be missed.

2012 Domaine Ciringa Fosilni Breg Sauvignon Blanc $20

From Slovinia, this rich Sauvignon Blanc comes from Fosilni Breg (Fossil Mountain) vineyard. The Cringa has aromas of bananas, pear and pepper. It wakes up the mouth with an explosive eruption of flavor and acidity

Gekkeikan Plum Wine $15

A drier version of plum wine with more complexity, the wine is made all from handpicked plums and is aged 3 years before bottling. It has notes of raisin, pecans, nutmeg, candied oranges and a tart finish. It is unique and tasty and only 13% alcohol.
