Bergevin Lane Tasting

So if you haven't yet heard we are doing another Gustiamo event with local girls Annette and Amber of Bergevin Lane Vineyards. We secretly have a thing for the Bergevin Lane ladies, 'cause they make great juice! All kidding aside the wines of Bergevin Lane have really impressed me lately. Not that they weren't doing a fantastic job before, but the wines have become more sophisticated and more striking with out losing that femininity that first drew me to them.

Case in point is the 2007 Viognier. Here is a wine that tastes more like a Condrieu than a new world Viognier. Flavours of citrus and ginger are married with a rich creamy mouth feel. This wine is going to be really exciting to pair and I am working on something really fun and a bit outside the box. I won't say exactly what but if you come to this tasting, come hungry.
The other reason we really wanted to do this tasting is the inaugural release of the Princess Syrah. The grapes for this wine are grown by some dear friends, they are more like family, of ours Tim Rogan and Cisca Van Heezik. They will be on hand as well as the dynamic duo Annette and Amber to answer questions and hopefully (hint, hint) sign bottles for those who choose to purchase wine the night of the event.
We are REALLY excited about this tasting as the wines are fabulous and the company will be too.

Call us at the store if you are interested in reserving your spot for this memorable event. The event will be on Thursday 14 August from 7 to 9 p.m. at the store. Reservations are required for this event and we will be limited the number of guests to 30.
