Thursday, July 16th - Replay Café, Pécs

This wine tasting, the wine will come from North America’s biggest and most famous wine region, from California’s very own Napa and Sonoma Valley. At Thursday’s wine tasting, I would like to present to you an overall picture of what wines in California are like. I hope I will be able to dispell any misgivings you may have when you hear: California wine. Unfortunately, the wines that are available here in Hungary do not represent the quality California wines are known for. For this tasting, I chose wine from Los Angeles wine stores that I thought best represent the wine region, are the best value, and are simply good!…

The tasting list:

Bannus Reserve Chardonnay 2006 (Sonoma County)

Simi Sauvignon Blanc 2007 (Sonoma County)

Cambria Pinot Noir 2006 (Santa Maria Valley)

St. Francis Zinfandel 2006 (Sonoma County)

Wildehirst Merlot 2004 (Lake County)

Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 (Napa Valley)

Zaca Messa Syrah 2005 (Santa Ynez Valley)

Beringer Alluvium Red 2005 (Napa Valley)

I have a lot to thank California wines for. In the five years I'd spent there, I learned more and more about wine and became engrossed in its world. My heart belongs there because in every sip, I can feel the sunshine, the terroir, and the effort put into each bottle. You can already read about Napa Valley here on Borturista if you’d like to get into the mood for the wine tasting, and more articles will come this week and next on our week spent in wine country, the wineries and the wine.

The cost is 5000Ft and included in that is the wine, cheeseplate and water. This event is max 30 persons, so please let me know as soon as possible if you’d like to come, so I can ensure your place.
