Longboard Vineyards Tasting
Posted on 7/31/2009
TRAVERSO'S WINE TASTING SPECIALS WITH LONGBOARD VINEYARDS THIS SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, NOON TO 3PM IN STORE!
We know what you are thinking. Longboards? Surfing? At Traverso's? What does all this have to do with a gourmet food store in Sonoma County? Well...according to our good friend and winemaker/founder Oded Shakked of Longboard wines...."Try balance, harmony and nature for starters. Surfing is part sport, part meditation and all working within, rather than against, nature. Winemaking? Pretty similar approach."
This Saturday afternoon you are invited to come in and "catch a wave" with us. Taste these great new releases and see what Longboard is all about. Rumor has it, Oded will be here personally with his longboards. Mahalo!
All featured wines will be 10% OFF Saturday only...buy any six bottles mix or match and receive 15% OFF! If you can't make the tasting, let us hold or ship the wine to you. Call us 707-542-2530 or email info@traveros.com
FEATURED POURS
2007 LONGBOARD VINEYARDS RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY SAUVIGNON BLANC LIST $20.00 OUR PRICE $15.99
A liquid ode to freshness This wine reflects the button-down relaxed elegance of the Russian River Valley, bursting with grapefruit and floral aromas and following with a refreshing mid-palate. The crisp (but not biting) acidity makes this a perfect wine to be paired with summer salads, oysters and fish.
2007 LONGBOARD VINEYARDS RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY PINOT NOIR LIST $33.00 OUR PRICE $29.99
More than any other variety, Pinot Noir is a wine that speaks for itself once it reaches your palate. The 2007 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is a great example of a wine crafted from perfect fruit. When grown with care, Russian River Pinot Noir delivers a great balance of fruity and earthy aromas and flavors packaged in a velvety mouth feel.
2007 LONGBOARD VINEYARDS RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY "DAKINE" MERLOT LIST $24.00 OUR PRICE $19.99
100% Dakine Single Vineyard fruit. Longboard's own "secret sauce" of about 9% Malbec grown in the Dakine Vineyard along with Merlot give this wine a lush core and length that have become their signature style.
2005 LONGBOARD VINEYARDS RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY SYRAH LIST $28.00 OUR PRICE $23.99
Inspired by the wines of the Northern Rhône region, this Russian River Valley Syrah is a spicy little number with an ocean spray-in-your face fresh balance of earthy and fruit notes. Lush, without being heavy, with licorice, blackberry and cola notes that yield to coffee and earth nuances. One percent of Cabernet ensures the wine will age as gracefully as you.
2006 LONGBOARD VINEYARDS REDGRAV VINEYARD ALEXANDER VALLEY CABERNET SAUVIGNON OUR PRICE $49.99
A single vineyard just north of Healdsburg, farmed by Delamontanya with a commitment to grow and pick nothing but the highest quality fruit. On release, this Cabernet bursts forth with dark berry and spicy fennel. Velvety, mouth-filling flavors of blueberry, plum and cassis finished with light oak and vanilla. If that doesn't get your juices flowing, nothing will.
