Last week, you will recall, I finally gave in to the idea that had been in my mind for years that we should pull out those old bottles of Longoria Blues Cuvee (2000!), and in celebration of the great enjoyment we have gotten from our series of their posters, to have an annual 4th of July tasting called “Red, Whites, and Blues cuvee.” So we did! I also wrote to Longoria winery in Los Olivos to order the four newer posters we did not yet have, and told them about our event. Come to find out, only the previous weekend they had had THEIR OWN Blues Cuvee celebration<\/a>, <\/strong>and we were all invited to take a bus down to the next one, and maybe that is a pretty good idea! Stay tuned! (so to speak!)<\/p>\n

Exceptional crowd last weekend…the pictures speak for themselves…it is a wonderful thing that so much Life happens in this funny little shop every Saturday; yes, this is why we are here!!!<\/p>\n

This week’s wines:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aveleda vinho verde\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Portugal\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 $9<\/strong>
\nOur old favorite– light and refreshing with a bit of spicyness that tempers the melon, green apple and peach flavors…a perfect summer white!<\/em><\/p>\n

Donjon Minervois Rose ’09\u00a0 France\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 $14<\/strong>
\nA 60:40 blend of Syrah and Grenache, this Minervois Ros\u00e9 brims with red raspberry, strawberries, and melon, all tinged with an invigorating hint of herbs, salt, and pepper. Ah, songs of summer…!<\/em><\/p>\n

Bricco del Tempo Barbera d’Alba\u00a0\u00a0 Italy\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 $9<\/strong>
\nModern viticultural techniques and warmer regions have made Barbera a medium-bodied, full-flavored wine with bright, red fruit tones that feature hints of violets, earth and plum with just a whisper of tannin. <\/em><\/p>\n

Alonso del Yarro Ribera del Duero\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ’05\u00a0\u00a0 Spain\u00a0\u00a0 Parker 94pts!<\/strong> $26<\/strong><\/div>\n
Purple\/black-colored, the 2005 Alonso del Yerro has a brooding nose of earth, mineral, blackberry, and blueberry compote. This is followed by a smooth-textured, opulent wine with tons of flavor. It has a long, pure finish and several years of aging potential.<\/em><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
