Blind Tasting this Sunday and Mud House Sauvignon Blanc

Greetings from Vintage Connections! 
This week's wine tips.


Private Tasting of 6 French Red Burgundies
This Sunday, June 27, 4-6 PM, we are hosting a private (blind) tasting of six Red Burgundies.  Two seats are available at $25 each.  As we prepare for Bottle Shock Revisited on September 18, we are tasting wines that we may use for that event.  Join us and help determine what wines we will use as the finalists on 
September 18.

Please email us at VintageConnections@Comcast.net if you have questions or want to reserve these two remaining seats.



Mud House Sauvignon Blanc 2009 
This great summer wine is from Marlborough, New Zealand. 

Yes, another Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand.  Since we like sipping Sauvignon Blancs during the hot summer months, we like to try new and different ones all the time.  We most enjoy the Sauvignon Blancs from New Zealand.  It won’t be long till we do a blind tasting of American Sauvignon Blancs, so watch for those reviews. 

The Mud House Sauvignon Blanc has aromas of passion fruit and sweet flowers, with flavor of tropical fruits and citrus. It is pale straw in color.  The wines from the grapes from various regions were fermented separately and then blended and balanced.   It has good balanced acidity making it food friendly as well as easy sipping.  It has a medium finish.  It also is currently a Chairman’s Select.  Alcohol content is 13% by volume.  PLCB product code is 18385 and sells for $8.99 at most PA Wine and Spirit stores.  


This is an unbelievable bargain!
