About this Event
This Friday's tasting highlights our wines of the week along with the chance to taste why place matters so much with Pinot Noir. Last week we had the chance to meet and taste with Hartford Court winemaker Jeff Stewart. I don't think any California winery delivers as much Chardonnay and Pinot Noir value for money than Hartford Court, especially with their "high end" cuvees that match $100+ wines on character and flavor at a fraction of that price.
Tasting through some of the winery's Pinot Noirs highlighted how much "place" shapes this sometimes fickle grape's character as wine. So this Friday, we want you to taste that for yourself as you experience the difference between Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. Here's the full line-up:
Ch Les Valentines Cotes de Provence La Londe Rose 2024 - Always one of the finest Provencal pinks, the 2024 Valentines delivers even more crisp, dry, character to balance the delicious stone and watermelon fruit. Big yum here.
The Language Of Yes Cuvee Sinso 2022 - Bonny Doon founder Randall Graham delivers Languedoc Cinsault character here from California's Central Coast. A delicious red you can drink with burgers or, like a rose, solo with chill.
Hartford Court Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2022 - If you were teaching a class on what great RRV Pinot tastes like, this is what you'd pour.
Hartford Court Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast Land's Edge 2022 - Move your Pinot from the inland RRV to just 4 miles off the Pacific and it turns more savory and spicy. A classic.
Hartford Court Zinfandel Russian River Valley Old Vine 2022 - From century-old vines, this is bold, rich and still highly drinkable.
We'll have some delicious new cheese out for you to enjoy with the wines and best savings prices available on a mix/match basis. Come taste tthe difference place can make!
