Wine Tasting of Uncommon Varietals & Unusual Blends

Next Saturday, on September 15, from 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm, there will be a special and free wine tasting at Gordons Fine Wine and Culinary Center in Waltham. The wines will all have uncommon varietals or unusual blends.

"Have you ever wondered what a Zweigelt is like? or a Lagrein? Have you even heard of these grapes? Or how about this for a blend: Riesling, Pinot Gris, Muller-Thurgau, Semillon, Gewurztraminer, Muscat, Pinot Blanc, Sylvaner, and Chardonnay? We will have a few less uncommon wines - Carmenere, Malbec, Valpolicella Ripassa, to name a few - but you won't find Cabernet Sauvignon unless it happens to be blended with Syrah, Charbono, and Zinfandel. So come and delight your palates with the unexpected and your wallets with a one day 20% discount on all 50 of the wines we are pouring."

I will be leading a group of the North Shore Winers to this event. We should have 20+ members there. So come on down and join us there. This should be an interesting event, to taste wines that you probably have never tasted before and might not buy on a lark.

Gordon's has their own parking lot. They are also located close to many different restaurants in Waltham. They are located next to the excellent, high-end Italian restaurant, Il Capriccio. So make it day.
