FREE Wine Tasting at Hops and Vines
March 28, 3 PM - 6 PM at Hops and Vines, 797 Haywood Rd, Ste 100 in Asheville NC - FREE Rose' Wine Tasting:
Bieler Pere et Fils, Provence, France: Driven by delicate Grenache, Cinsault and Rolle aromas and flavors with the Syrah bringing body and Cabernet Sauvignon adding spice. The wine is quite aromatic and jumps out of your glass with the classic Provence tug of war between wild red fruit berries as if you just picked them along a path to the beach, floral notes of lavender and rose petal and underlying savory herbs de Provence. The color is paler than last year and the acidity at the finish more assertive. Much to love $11.99
Barnard Griffin, Sangiovese, Washington: A luscious array of strawberry, melon and cranberry notes are backed up by crisp, palate-cleansing acidity. These flavors are expansive, persisting through the long, satisfying finish. Exciting and fragrant! A serious, dry, food-friendly Rose that can accompany a broad range of cuisine choices or is equally outstanding as a stand-alone sipper. $13.99
Sleight of Hand, Renegade Co., Washington: It's fresh. It's lively! Produced in the style of a Southern Rhone with a blend of Syrah, Mouvedre, and Cinsault. Flavors of pomegranate, citrus, cherries and strawberry-rhubarb pie. A great wine to pair with your renegade gatherings, especially a backyard BBQ. $12.99
