I also want to thank all of you for not putting up too much of a fight with the nominal charge we have instituted for our tastings. I will definitely benefit you in the long run because we will be able to crack open even better bottles for the tastings. I am not feeling well so I will make this short and sweet. For this week's tasting we will be joined by Chad from Rush Wines. Here are the wines:Rambling White 2005 California $9.99Consulting winemaker Paul Moser put together this fresh, lively white blend. It is composed of 50% organically grown Sauvignon Blanc from Lake County, 27% Sauvignon Blanc from Monterey County, 20% Chardonnay from Clarksburg, and 3% Riesling from Monterey.

The finish is crisp.Whitecliff Sacred Hill Sauvignon Blanc 2007 Marlborough, New Zealand $11.99A lifted medley of aromatics with passionfruit, lychee and gooseberry characters. A rich and mouthfilling palate with abundant tropical fruit flavours of passionfruit, lychee and gooseberry following the aroma. Beautifully balanced with a textural mid-palate and lingering tropical aftertaste.Fleur de California Chardonnay 2005 Central Coast, California $12.99Fleur de California is our bright, fresh, charming, and flavorful Chardonnay from the Central Coast. The brilliant color sets the stage for aromas of apricots, lemon curd, honeysuckle and Comice pear. At once crisp and supple the wine exhibits a richness with underlying acidity that causes the fruit flavors to linger in the finish. is flower of a wine may be enjoyed alongside an appetizer of blue cheese, nuts and honey or savored with scallops in a citrus reduction sauce.Alfredo Roca Pinot Noir 2006 San Rafael Mendoza, Argentina $10.99Who would have thought that Argentina would be making as good a Pinot Noir in this price range as you can find today?

That was on heck of a crowd we had in here last Thursday. Thank you to everyone who showed up. I hope that no one was put off by the size of the crowd. I was certainly taken aback by it. This Thursday we will be joined by Grant Gordon from Pinnacle Imports. He will be showcasing several wines from Oregon from a delightful winery called A to Z Winery. This is a wonderful winery with some really great wines. Several of these wines will be a welcome addition as we usher in the warmer months here in Tuscaloosa. Here are the wines: A to Z Riesling 2006 Oregon $13.99 This is our inaugural release of Riesling and we are proud of it! The wine is a bright, crystal clear green/gold color. Fresh aromas of slate, lime, white flowers, minerals and citrus leap from the glass. More complex nuances of strawberries, orange blossom and spice emerge in time. In the mouth, the wine is vibrant and alive with focused and powerful flavors that echo the aromas on the attack. A long, clean finish with final flavors of wet stones and minerals completes this complex and beautiful wine. This wine will gain complexity over the next ten years, but is already drinking great now. A to Z Pinot Gris 2006 Oregon $13.99 Rich and ripe. The color of the 2006 Pinot Gris is yellow gold with beautiful flashes of emerald. Powerful aromatics are redolent of ripe citrus fruits, acacia flowers, tropical fruits (mango, papaya and kiwi), lychee, powdered sugar, honeysuckle, nectarines and pineapple. A concentrated wine with ripe acidity. The finish rolls seamlessly off the mid-palate and lasts forever. The lasting impression is a wine of great ripeness and opulence balanced by wonderful juiciness and succulence. The 2006 Pinot Gris will drink wonderfully for the next two years. A to Z Chardonnay (Unoaked) 2006 Oregon $15.99 Vivid gold with green highlights. Aromatics of pear, green apple, quince, apple blossom, lime, tangerine, talc and wet stone minerality evolve to include honey, butter, nutmeg and white chocolate. In the mouth, the wine is gorgeous. The ripeness and richness of the fruit are perfectly balanced by the beautiful acidity. Concentrated and succulent with a long, clean finish. The unoaked 2006 A to Z Oregon Chardonnay will drink wonderfully over the next two years. A to Z Rosé 2007 Oregon $13.99 Gorgeous aromas of fresh pure strawberries, raspberries, provincial herbs, wildflowers, juicy cherries, watermelon and mixed spices. The wine is bright and lush, at the same time finishing clean and crisp. Full of flavor and pleasure, the 2007 Rosé is a perfect wine with all types of food and will drink wonderfully over the next year. A to Z Pinot Noir 2006 Oregon $20.99 Clear and vibrant, this wine has a beautiful dark color and aromas of mixed berries, earth, smoke, violets, Asian spices and minerals. In the mouth, the wine mirrors the aromatics with a succulent texture and good acidity. As the finish unfolds, the http://www.tuscaloosarestaurant.com/Restaurant-News/Wine+Tasting+at+Carpe+Vino~2008-04-24.html http://www.tuscaloosarestaurant.com/Restaurant-News/Downtown+Tuscaloosa+Wine+Tasting+Thursday+and+Friday~2008-04-17.html Thu, 17 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0500 Thank you everyone who made it out to the tastings last week. For this week we will have both a theme and the lovely Stephanie Edmondson for our tasting. Our theme will be Italy. Unlike all those trite tourists we will not be concentrating on Tuscany. Do not get me wrong I love Tuscany. I've spent more than my share of time in Tuscany. However, to me it is just a bit over done at the expense of all the other spectacular regions Italy has to offer. So for this tasting the wines will be hitting the map just about everywhere except for Tuscany. Here are the wines:Peter Zemmer Pinot Grigio 2006 Alto Adige, Italy $14.99Aminea Greco Di Tufo 2004 Montemarano, Italy $20.99Erste & Neue Lagrein 2005 Alto Adige, Italy $13.99Damilano Barbera D'Alba 2006 Barolo, Italy $16.99Di Majo Norante Ramitello http://www.tuscaloosarestaurant.com/Restaurant-News/Downtown+Tuscaloosa+Wine+Tasting+Thursday+and+Friday~2008-04-17.html http://www.tuscaloosarestaurant.com/Restaurant-News/Evangeline%27s+Newsletter~2008-04-14.html Mon, 14 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0500 * NOW OPEN MONDAY EVENINGS FOR DINNER @ 5:00 * Mention this newsletter to our staff to receive 20% off entrees or special features between 5:00 & 7:00 p.m. on Monday evenings.

I amsorry that I missed the Friday tasting but Memphis was calling myname. Well for this week I have a treat for you. We will be joined byJohn Mason from Grassroots Wine Wholesalers. John is veryknowledgeable about wines and just a great guy to be around. He helpme pick these wines for the tasting. The wines are:Tittarelli Torrontes Reserva 2006 Mendoza, Argentina $15.99Pietra Santa Chardonnay 2005 Central Coast, California $15.99Joseph Leitz Riesling Rudescheimer Klosterlay Kabinett 2006 Rheingau,Germany $18.99Castano Hecula Monastrell 2004 Yecla, Spain $11.99Los Planos Syrah 2004 France $9.99Tittarelli Tempranillo Reserva 2004 Mendoza, Argentina $15.99So it is a little bit of something new and a little bit of some oldfavorites. I am really excited for you all to try the new ones fromTittarelli. Their Malbec Reserva is fantastic so I know you will lovethese two wines. In other store news...It gives me great pleasure to formally announce our next wine dinner.The Epiphany Cafe and The Wine Source will host Brian Loring of theLoring Wine company. For those of you familiar with Brian Loring andhis wines he needs no introduction. For those of you still scratchingyour head's over who this guy is he is one of the top producers ofPinot Noir in California. His wines consistently garner high scoresfrom the wine critics. They are usually snatched up by seriouscollectors as soon as they become available. Loring Wine Company is asmall production boutique winery that produces several single vineyardPinot Noir's from the top vineyards in California. This is going to beone hell of a wine dinner. For those Pinot freaks out there we will besampling four of Brian's single vineyard Pinot's. These fantasticwines will be paired exquisitely with the culinary masterpieces ofTres Jackson. Check out the menu below for a full list of both thewines and the dishes. Here is an excerpt from the Loring Wine Companywebsite that should give you some more insight into just who BrianLoring is and how he constructs his wines. My name is Brian Loring and my obsession is Pinot Noir. OK, I'm alsopretty crazy about Champagne, but that's another story. While incollege, I worked at a wine shop in Hollywood (Victor's), where oneof the owners was a Burgundy fanatic. So, my very first experienceswith Pinot Noir were from producers like Domaine Dujac, Henri Jayer,and DRC. Needless to say, I found subsequent tasting safaris into thedomestic Pinot Noir jungle less than satisfying. It wasn't until Iliterally stumbled into Calera (I tripped over a case of their wine in the store room) that I founda California Pinot Noir that I could love. But it would be quite awhile before I found someone else that lived up to the standard thatJosh Jensen had established. I eventually came to understand andenjoy Pinots from Williams Selyem , Chalone , and Sanford, but I really got excited about California Pinot Noir when I metNorm Beko from Cottonwood Canyon at an Orange County Wine Society tasting. My philosophy on making wine is that the fruit is EVERYTHING. Whathappens in the vineyard determines the quality of the wine - I can'tmake it better - I can only screw it up!
