Description

JOIN US FOR OUR FIRST FEBRUARY TASTING THIS SATURDAY FEATURING SELECTIONS FROM THE ACCLAIMED CAROLINA CONNOISSEUR PORTFOLIO, WINES MATCHED TO THE CUISINE OF THE SEASON, HEARTY FARE.  OUR TASTING TRAVELS FROM FRANCE’S SOUTHERN RHONE VALLEY TO CALIFORNIA …WASHINTON ST, ONTO OCEANIA AND NEW  ZEALAND, AND THE SINGULAR STORY OF THE McBRIDE SISTERS.          

WHAT & WHY: A special story celebrating Black History Month, two sisters and the grape.  Raised among the vines of Monterey, California and Marlborough, New Zealand, one could say that the McBride Sisters’ path to winemaking was destiny at work.  Beginning in the present, the McBride Sisters, Robin and Andrea, own the largest African-American wine company in the United States…and remarkably it all started with two half-sisters who didn't know that the other existed for half of their lives. When they finally met, they realized that they had both been raised among vines some 7,000 miles apart - one in New Zealand the other in central California. Fate brought them together and today the McBride Sisters have one of the industry’s most exciting companies. Do join us today to  sample their energetic and fragrant Sauvignon Blanc showing the more tropical side of the Marlborough flavor spectrum while focusing acidity brings the refreshment factor… a wine that  brightens up winter fare! Food Pairing: Prosciutto Wrapped Blanched Asparagus.
