Asheville C-NC Free Wine Tasting

July 12 3-6 PM Hops & Vines. Moon Mountain Vineyard, Sonoma County, CA. Moon Mountain is committed to sustainable grape growing and vinification techniques (most of their vineyards are certified organic). The regular retail price of these wines is around the $15 mark, but surplus means lower prices, so enjoy these vintages at Hops & Vines for a mere $8.99!

2007 Sauvignon Blanc - The grapes for this wine are sourced from Knight's Valley, which contributes the tropical aromas and Russian River Valley, which provides the crisp, citrusy notes. A textbook example of Californian sauvignon blanc!
2006 Cabernet Sauvignon - This wine's beautiful balance reflects the diversity and synergy of grapes grown in Sonoma's soils and climates. 18 months in American and French oak serve to integrate the flavors (think chocolate, spice and dark fruit!).
