Raise a glass of sparkling wine to the end of the year 2021! Join City Vino this week, as we feature four sparkling wines that can take you to Sparkletown. Sing along with us to wine-altered lyrics to the Lipps Inc song from 1979, “Won’t you take me to Sparkletown, Won’t you take me to Sparkletown?”
Last week, City Vino was dreaming of a red (wine) Christmas, and we continue that thought for our weekly tasting on Friday, December 10, and Saturday, December 11, with red wines from around the globe. Join us on a quick tasting jaunt to Italy, France, Spain, and Virginia.
City Vino’s weekly tasting on Friday, November 19, and Saturday, November 20, features two wines labeled as “old vine” wines; one wine that is not labeled as such, but is; and one, just for fun. Let us delve into the meaning of “old vine” winemaking.
While Thanksgiving’s roots are in early America, the celebration of hard work, giving thanks, and family has branched out beyond America, into many places around the world. There are festivities in Canada, Germany, Japan, and even Italy, where it is known as La Festa Del Ringrazziamento.
Since we are in the middle of what is known as the dog days of summer, let’s open up—or even conjure up—some delightful, refreshing, and chilled party wines and cocktails to get us through the heat. Invite friends and family over, throw the inflatable swan into the pool, break out the citronella tiki torches, and get the little drink umbrellas and flamingo stirrers ready, because it’s party time!
