Tasted Monday, July 27, 2015 - Tuesday, July 28, 2015 by Loren Sonkin with 419 views
Every spring, our local public television station has an auction. One night is devoted to wine and it is led by Dan G. Dan heads up one of the Ohio distributorships and is very generous with his time and money. He is also a very entertaining speaker. At the last auction, he donated a series of tastings divided into various price levels. My wife and I purchased tickets for the high end tasting. We had no idea of what the wines would be, but given Dan's reputation, I had no doubt it would be worth my $70 contribution. And it was.
This was a formal tasting, done with flights. Dan gave humorous and informative stories about the wines, properties and people involved in producing these wines. A variety of food was served to match the wines.
Awlays a pleasure to help public television, especially drinking like these!

Orange pink in color. Lots of small bubbles. The nose is nice with strawberries and some rhubarb. Also a bit of orange peel. Smooth and easy to drink. Complex on the palate. Dry. Nice strawberries and raspberries. Good acidity. Just a lovely wine.
