GREAT VALUES FROM CONO SUR OF CHILE TONIGHT!
(Thursday, Jun 25, 6-8 pm)
Looking for value? Without a doubt, Chile is one of the best places to look right now! Although commonly referred to as a "new world" region, Chile has been a serious wine producer since the 1850s, when many French winemakers -- including some out of work due to the vineyard-destroying Phylloxera epidemic in France -- emigrated to Chile to work for wealthy vineyard-owners there. Not only did they bring their know-how, they also brought vines, which explains the Chilean focus on Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, and even Carmenere, the long-forgotten Bordeaux variety that took off in Chile. A long, narrow country with a coastline that stretches some 2700 miles along the Pacific, Chile has a multitude of microclimates, with vineyard areas clustered in an 800 mile expanse. Low, coastal mountains give Chile a moderate, Pacific climate that's similar to that of California, just perfect for growing grapes! After years of experience matching grape variety to microclimate, Chile is finally branching out, enjoying exciting success with Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Syrah, and even Pinot Noir. And they're still able to do it for a song. Want to see what we mean? Stop by the tasting bar TONIGHT, Thursday, June 25 from 6 to 8 pm, for a special FREE tasting of wines from Cono Sur, one of the most exciting new producers from Chile, who also produces its wines using sustainable, earth-friendly methods from vineyard to winery. You'll sample a full range of styles and levels, including:
- Gorgeous examples of aromatic Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc
- A brand-new floral, spicy Gewurztraminer made in a dry style
- A ripe, juicy, affordable Syrah
- Cono Sur's 20 Barrels Pinot Noir, made from the finest selection of Pinot Noir fruit
As usual, you'll enjoy the tasting bar discount on all your favorite wines. Or mix up a case of Cono Sur for summer drinking and enjoy a special discount of 15% off! Reservations are not required for this tasting; just stop by anytime from 6 to 8 pm!
