Tasting this Saturday from 2:30 pm to 6:30 pm

We will have Veglio Winery's Dolcetto D'Alba open this Saturday from 2:30 pm to 6:30pm.


This wine is full of aromas of cherry, blackberries, dried leaves and cocoa. It is grown on the west facing slope in the Piemonte region in Italy.


 
We also will be tasting the Finlaggan Islay Old Reserve Single Malt which has scored 94/100 in Jim Murray's whisky bible.
It is dry, smoky and fresh with hints of hickory and smoke and a hint of chocolate.
The nose detects a mix of iodium, seaweed, phenols and hints of sherry and smoke.

The palate is exceptionally smooth for a presumed rather young whisky.
The taste is dry, salty, peaty and smoky.
The finish adds some spice and pepper to the whole.
