Winemaker Wine Tasting Tonight 6-9 pm

Tonight we welcome Spanish winemaker, Esther Pinuaga!  She came all the way from Toledo, Spain to pour and speak about two of her organic wines…  You don’t want to miss this one; Esther is as charming as her wines are.

The Bodega

Bodegas Pinuaga has been crafting wine for more than 200 years. The wines offer a singular taste and style; they achieve a satisfying balance by synthesizing modernity and tradition.  The small estate is located amidst heirloom vineyards, where Esther strikes a delicate balance between artisanal care of the vineyard, innovation in cellar techniques and natural winemaking.  The vineyards and the winery are located in Corral de Almaguer, a privileged site 720 meters above sea level, and surrounded by Mediterranean oak forests.

The Wines

PINUAGA NATURE TEMPRANILLO 2009

Made from 100% organic Tempranillo, this wine represents the most varietal expression of Pinuaga’s indigenous 35 year old vines.  It is a soft and elegant, medium-bodied wine with aromas of fresh red berry fruit.  Maturation with oak adds a creamy, almost nutty complexity to the long, soft finish.  $15

PINUAGA 200 CEPAS OLD VINE TEMPRANILLO 2008

This special cuvee is the result of a rigorous selection of our oldest Tempranillo Cepas (vines).  The richness of this wine derives from a long maceration of the fruit and refined aging in French and American oak barrels.  $28

Plus cheese from ED, bread from SCRATCH, and a special jammy treat from KILL DEVIL HILL!
