Wine talks. Everyone knows that. Look around you. Ask the oracle at the street corner; the uninvited guest at the wedding feast; the holy fool. It talks. It ventriloquizes. It has a million voices. It unleashes the tongue, teasing out secrets you never meant to tell, secrets you never even knew. It shouts, rants, whispers, It speaks of great things, splendid plans, tragic loves and terrible betrayals. it screams with laughter. It chuckles softly to itself.
It weeps in front of its own reflection. It opens up summers long past and memories best forgotten. Every bottle a whiff of other times, other places; every one, from the commonest Liebfraumilch to the imperious 1945 Veuve Clicquot, a humble miracle.... The transformation of base matter into the stuff of dreams. Layman's alchemy.
JOANNE HARRIS, Blackberry Wine
This is our pre-event for one of the best wine tasting gala dinners that happens in South Florida. Tonight we host a tasting featuring some of the gold medal winning wines from this year's event along with a few small courses prepared by Wine Watch Catering's Toni Lampasone.
This is one of the most important wine competitions for American wines in the USA. We have hosted a party for this event for the last few years but the real party on April 24th at the Hard Rock Resort is amazing with around 600 wines, celebrity chefs and 50 wine angels serving you- we recommend a driver or make reservations at the resort for the night.
All of the wines shown at this tasting are from the USA and this may be the only chance that you have all year to taste wines that are from Ohio, Virginia and Texas.
This will be a walk around tasting in the courtyard at Progresso Plaza and is limited to 50 tasters. The fee for this tasting is $45 + tax for reservations call 954-523-9463.
