SPARKLING POINTE CLUB PICKUP 09 JUN 2022

By

 

Stop number three on the #northforkwinetrail is at Sparkling Pointe for a six-pack of bubbly (Fig 01).  The selection is the default for the June club, but substitutions are allowed.  In this case, however, the selection includes many of my favorites, therefore is no need to swap out any.  Sparkling Pointe website provided winemaker notes and technical details for all the wines except for the Carnaval Rouge.  The sparkling wine in pickup includes 2017 Brut Nature (Fig 02), 2012 Brut Seduction (Fig 03), 2016 Seduction Reserve Blanc De Blancs (Fig 04), 2019 Topaz Impérial Rosé (Fig 05), Carnaval Rouge (Fig 06), and a 2018 Cuvée Carnaval Rosé (Fig 07).

ADROIT 2021 TROUSSEAU SILETTO ESTATE 17 SEPT 2022

  Another day, another fine wine.  Today’s wine came from a friend who has a friend Chris Miller the winemaker at Seabold Cellars .   Chris is also currently involved at Adroit , a winery exploring California’s underutilized wine-growing regions.   The wine for today is an Adroit Wines 2021 Trousseau Stiletto Estate (Fig 01).   Today’s tasting is the first time encountering the Trousseau Grape , an ancient grape from eastern France.  Trousseau is primarily blended in other wines and ports, but here in California the is experimental work being done to use the grape for table wine.  The Trousseau leads with rich dark cherry and rich fruit but with just enough tannins to provide a clean, dry finish.  The Trousseau proved to be the most enjoyable, easy-drinking wine, leaving me looking to acquire many more bottles.  #california #seaboldcellars #adroit #stilettoestate FIG 01 - ADROIT 2021 TROUSSEAU SILETTO ESTATE 17 SEPT 2022

ROANOKE VINEYARDS 2019 GABBY’s CABERNET FRANC 18 SEPT 2022

  A few weeks ago, the 2022 futures wines were picked up, which included a three-pack of Roanoke Vineyards Gabby’s Cabernet Franc 2020.  Given that the three-pack is a 2020 vintage, one might wonder why the bottle we opened is a 2019 Gabby (Fig 01), the exact reason remains a bit of a mystery, but one can assume it was a simple mix-up (Fig 02).  The mix-up, notwithstanding the 2019 Gabby, is a fine wine that presented a bright red color with a bramble nose.  The palate is smooth fruit forward, predominantly dark cherry, bright acid, and smooth tannins.  The Gabby is a fine example of a Long Island Cabernet Franc and should be a good indicator of the 2020 Gabby soon to be opened.  #longislandwineries #vineyardviews #wineryvibes #liwine #licharacter #longislandwine #northforkwineries #longislandwinery #longislandnorthfork #northforker #discoverlongisland #topwineries #northforkwinetrail #liwinecountry #liwine #lisustainablewinegrowers #nywinegrapefdn #nofo #roanokevineyards   FIG 01 -

  More goodness has just arrived from W ö lffer Estates Vineyard , the fall 2020 wine club selection.   The quarters' selection includes a 2021 Gew ü rztraminer , 2020 Malbec , 2019 Lombardo Merlot , and a   2019 Caya Cabernet Franc (Fig 01).   W ö lffer provided a wonderfully detailed write-up (Fig 02, 03) on all the wines, and after reviewing them, we look forward to holding on to the wine to serve at the holiday dinners.  Unfortunately, wines of exceptional quality are limited in quantity, with some being for members only, making them hard to acquire, so we will savor them while they last.    #longislandwineries #vineyardviews #wineryvibes #liwine #licharacter #longislandwine #northforkwineries #longislandwinery #longislandnorthfork #northforker #discoverlongisland #topwineries #northforkwinetrail #liwinecountry #liwine #lisustainablewinegrowers #nywinegrapefdn #nofo #wolfferestate FIG 01 - W Ö LFFER  ESTATE FALL CLUB  16 SEPT 2022 FIG 02 - W Ö LFFER ESTATE FALL CLUB  16 SEPT
