Tasting Notes

What a day of football! TCU almost went down along with Michigan. The TN game isn’t starting off too well, but TN will win, right? I have been enjoying listening to football games today while putting up Christmas decorations. I know it is early, but the sun was out with no rain. So I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. Today’s Sparking is all about Granville’s 2017 Blanc de Noir from the Holstein Estate Vineyard. I will need a few more bottles since this was my last one. With this being 100% Pinot Noir, I am enjoying a little kick on entry and mid-palate, where a mouth-watering acidity is waiting to grab your attention on multiple levels. Savoring those bubbles on the finish does nothing but raise the hair on your arms! 👇 👇 👇 👇 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 Would you like to get a Saturday morning email to read with your coffee giving you insider tips on events, news, and an in-depth perspective on a winery?
