Fun Wine Facts!
Nebbiolo is a red Italian wine grape variety
predominantly associated with the Piedmont region
in northern Italy where it makes the Denominazione
di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) wines of
Barolo, Barbaresco, Roero, Gattinara and
Ghemme.
Nebbiolo produces lightly-colored red wines which
can be highly tannic in youth with scents of tar and
roses. As they age, the wines take on a
characteristic brick-orange hue at the rim of the
glass and mature to reveal other aromas and
flavors such as violets, tar, wild herbs, cherries,
raspberries, truffles, tobacco, and prunes. Nebbiolo
wines can require years of aging to balance the
tannins with other characteristics.

Washington Riesling
World Vineyard Washington Riesling has a distinctive floral
and green apple aroma mixed with mineral elements from its
Washington vineyard, giving it a brisk, 'racy' quality. Its high
natural level of acidity enables it to balance a hint of residual
sugar, setting off aromas of rose petal, apple, pear, peach
and apricot and leading to a grand crisp finish of flinty mineral
notes. Riesling is the longest-lived of all white wines.
California Pinot Noir
World Vineyard California Pinot Noir creates a lasting
impression on the palate with an intense ripe-grape and
black cherry aroma, accented by a spicy suggestion of
cinnamon and mint. Medium-full bodied and rich but not
heavy, it's perfectly balanced with alcohol acid and tannin
working harmoniously, and has substantial flavour despite
its delicacy. It has an appealing soft, velvety texture, like
liquid silk gently caressing the palate.
