The Secrets of Mountain Wines

seven mountain-grown wines paired with light bites

Saturday, April 1 - 1130am - 1pm

One of Crystal Palate's more popular educational tasting experiences returns in its original tasting format: a casual, walk-around style tasting of seven wines that all share a connection. And what better place to do that than in our new event space!

Find out why mountain-grown wines are so special and beloved by Somms!

SCENTSory provides the means to identify a wine’s aromatics, the confidence of conversing with others about those wines and of course feeling empowered to taste unknown wines with ease.

How SCENTSory began: 

Several years ago during a Wednesday Tasting, a client asked how we get so many scents out of one glass of wine? And it got us thinking: how do we? 

So we decided to create a tasting format called SCENTSory that focused solely on those very scents. The best way to do this was to deconstruct those same scents and place them in glasses which mirrors the same action of lifting glass to nose when drinking. This way after we sniff the wine, then sniff that glass of individual scents such as berries, fruits, nuts, herbs and spices that we identified within the wine itself, it became easier to recognize those scents. 

Here's a Sneak Peak teaser wine that we'll be tasting:

Bodegas Avancia 2014, Mencia Valdeorras, Spain

Bodegas Avancia lies snuggled in the slate dominant mountainsides of Valdeorras, high above the Sil River. Named for the extensive gold mining that the Romans conducted in this area, (Val-de-Oras roughly translates to Valley-of-Gold in Latin.) And it is delicious!
