Lummi Island Wine and Chocolate Tasting September 19
We enjoyed our weekend off (van trip with the dogs, enjoying the color of the Wooden Boat Festival, and picking up lovely wines from Andrew Will (Vashon) and Betz (Woodenville)).
The regular Saturday tasting this week includes a new batch of truffles from Pat and Janice, which are looking and tasting Very Professional. The theme is Autumal Equinox, halfway between light and dark, so look for white chocolate-ginger ganache in dark chocolate, and dark chocolate-coconut in dark chocolate, plus dark chocolate medallions…muy rico!
Wines for Saturday:
- Byron chardonnay ’06 (California): more subdued than the lovely ’05, but “supple, rich and creamy up front, with fig, marshmallow and floral-honeysuckle flavors that are pure, clean and mouthwatering (…”marshmallow…?”)…$19
- Campo Viejo Rioja (Spain) : Deep flavors of stewed plums and leather, a great value…$10
- St. Innocent 2007 Villages Cuvée Pinot Noir (Oregon): a vibrant nose of freshly cut flowers, bright red fruit and sweet spices. Cherry and red berry flavors are layered with freshly ground pie spices and a core of minerality…$19
- Matetic “EQ” syrah 03 (Chile) : Heady, with lots of black cherry, blackberry, bramble, tobacco and grilled beef aromas and flavors…$23
