Wine Tasting Selections for El Cajon for 5/16/14-5/17/14

“Spring into Summer Tasting”

Temperatures are soaring like it’s mid-August so let’s just skip the rest of spring and jump right into summer with a couple of old favorites back by popular request, a stunning, bargain-priced Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, an Oregon Pinot Noir and a couple of zesty red blends.

We’ll start off with the Casas del Bosque grapefruit-heavy Sauvignon Blanc that you loved so much as a refreshing opener and then go into the reds with a classy Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, the 96-point rated Terralsole Riserva and a deep Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon.

We’ll wrap up with a Napa Valley Bordeaux-style blend and another crazy Chronic Cellars Rhone-style blend. Please join your Beach Boy host, Bill Callahan, and sample this international mix of terrific wines.
