Proprietor’s Blog 5/11: Wine Tasting
Tastings are fun, aren’t they? This past week I had a private wine tasting with some of our wines and local amateur winemakers. We laughed, chatted, ate delicious food, and shared the story of AJA. During these tastings I ask people to write down what they thought of the wines, and I take those comments back to learn what people think. I went through the cards afterward and really loved what some people had to say, so I wanted to share a few of their tasting notes with you.
2021 Malibu Coast Sauvignon Blanc
“Apricot, melon and pineapple on the nose. Soft on the palate. Crisp with a nice finish. A lovely wine.” Other tasters noted “good SB fruit, nose and flavor, good mouthfeel, acid and vibrance,” while one simply wrote, “peachy, super great, smooth,” and another, “floral nose, lovely.”
2021 Paso Robles Rosé
“Rose and flowers on the nose. Tart apple on the palate. Dry, not sweet, delicious,” with another taster praising its “lovely color, pretty fruit.”
2018 FIVE Red Wine
“Toasty spiciness and oak. Currant. Black cherry, plum and tobacco, delicious, with a lingering finish,” alongside a simple, “great, so smooth and so original.”
We sold three cases of wine to that group of 20 people. I’d call that quite a success. I was grateful for the opportunity to share our wines. If you’d like to book a similar tasting, in person or virtually, reach out to us.
If you have yet to try some of these wines, you must. You can find them all in our shop, we ship all over, just check which states we can ship to before you order.
Cheers,
Amanda
