Tasting Notes
Summer is flying away at an alarming rate for me. Before we know it, Pumpkin Spice Lattes will be all over the place, and hoodie season will be here. So what does one do to slow summer down a little? I don’t know, but I am enjoying it by being outside every minute possible. Tell me in the comments, what are you doing to soak up the sun?
Tonight is about exploring Oregon Sparkling with Flaneur’s 2016 Blanc de Blancs! We all know how Oregon is kicking it out of the ballpark with Chardonnay. Now consider this is 100% Chardonnay from the La Belle Promenade Vineyard. When was the last time you had a 6-year-old Oregon Chard? For most of us, it has been a while. The Blanc de Blancs was released not too long ago, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the 90 cases produced are almost sold out. Cheers to the weekend!
