Fwd: Grappa '72 Weekly Email Wine Features and Specials

Attention Wine Lovers! Stop into Grappa '72 Ristorante this Thursday January 27th between 6 and 8 p.m. and participate in our first wine tasting! Featuring Trivento Malbec Lujan de Cuyo Golden Reserve 2007, as well as Penfolds Thomas Hyland 'Cool Climate' Chardonnay. Additional food and drink specials will be available and the mood will be set with smooth jazz performed by The Doug Harris Frank Maston Duo Thomas Hyland 'Cool Climate' Chardonnay 2009 A Southern Australian Chardonnay that is light straw in colour. A fine array of cool climate Chardonnay characters of white peach and lifted aromas of fresh citrus fruits. Subtle and balanced French oak provides support with wafts of pecan. Creamy stone fruit notes with a fine minerality down the middle of the palate, offering precision and length. Citrus acidity keeps the palate taut and tight- the oak barely there- enough to provide complexity without dominating the pure Adelaide Hills fruit characters. Trivento Malbec Rated a 90 by the Wine Spectator Lush and very expressive with mocha, crushed currant, plum sauce and fig paste notes that glide over the dense but velvety structure. Long and fleshy, with the fruit echoing nicely. Not shy at all but nicely balanced.
