Charlie's Pairings for February 2012
"No
Pain, No Spain"
Make no mistake about it: if you are from Spain,
wine is poetry. Despite a torrid past, a visitor
is more likely to hear the invocation of the
country's great artists, writers and poets than
anything else, and it is this same love of life,
culture and the arts that has been pored into
Spain's wine making tradition for years.
Food

Sweet Potato Gnocchi
(Smoked duck proscuitto and steamed clams in

gazpacho or steamed clams with chorizo

Wines/Tasting
Notes
This wine shimmers, glistening pale straw nectar. Terroir driven. Think mineral and stone. Bosc pear, Washington apple, orange zest and honeysuckle. Flavor galore. Italian inspired, locally.
Varietal: Pinot Grigio
Syrah-Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, 2009
51% / 49% Columbia Valley cab/syrah blend called Charles and Charles Red. It’s a big mouthful of red wine, with layers of black cherry and black raspberry flavors, toast and spice.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Rattlesnake Hills, 2005
This elegant, dry Cabernet features flavors of blackberries,cassis and new smoky oak, marked by a soft texture of finely ground tannins. It is a solid red wine that drinks well now, but could develop nicely in the cellar after a few years.
