This past weekend, Easton became the epicenter of wine tasting. Three evening events over four days allowed participants to enjoy twelve different wines. We believe that only one person, our intrepid agent, actually attended all three events with the mission to share the story…
Talbot Country Club
First, the Talbot Country Club landed one of the winemakers from Washington State’s Chateau Ste. Michelle. The evening focused exclusively on wines from his winery and was coupled with exquisite food courses created by the Club’s Chef. Impressively, each course had food with a wine infusion.
One of the highlights of the evening was the introduction of a new wine, just released by Chateau Ste. Michelle, a delightful Rose. All the offerings are very affordable, found in the area and can be enjoyed immediately.
You can learn more about this fine winery founded in 1934 claiming to combine Old World winemaking traditions with New World innovation at their site.
The wines enjoyed by the guests from Chateau Ste. Michelle:
Columbia Valley Rosé – released March 1, 2018
Horse Heaven Vineyard / Sauvignon Blanc 2016
Indian Wells / Chardonnay / 2015.
Canoe Ridge Estate / Merlot 2013
Cold Creek Vineyard / Cabernet Sauvignon 2013.
Piazza Market
In another of the series of Saturday evening wine tastings hosted at Easton’s Piazza Italian Market. Emily Chandler provided a “snack” of select mushrooms along with a meat prepared with Barolo wine, all accompanied by the wonderful never-empty bread basket. We toured Italy with the selections below, ending in the always popular Piedmont region where the Nebbiolo grapes are grown to produce Barolo and Barbaresco wines. The wines are available now at Piazza Market.
Osteria Alfredo
The third wine tasting event took place at Osteria Alfredo where the exceptional chef selected wines paired with his fine Italian food specialties. A full restaurant enjoyed fine Italian wines that perfectly complemented every course.
Sella Mosca Villamarina Cabernet
With spring and summer coming, you will not go wrong with any of these selections!
