Free Holiday Wine tasting at Liquor City Bakewell

Tonight at Liquor City Bakewell (On the corner of Fifth St. and Bakewell St. in Covington) we are trying  5 lovely wines.

Whites:

• Simi Sonoma County Chardonnay - Simi has a bold creamy buttery Chardonnay. It has hints of green apple, lemon, a touch of honey with lots of other citrus fruits. This is a full-bodied Chardonnay that can be drank alone or with the heartiest of meals...very versatile.
• Kim Crawford Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc - This is a gold medal wine, it won 8 years in a row of awards from Wine Spectator. From 2010 (which is in season now) to 2002. I'm not even counting any of the numerous international awards it's received, click here to view all awards. This is what a Sauvignon Blanc should taste like! It's a very crisp and clean Sauvignon Blanc that has hints of melon, citrus, and pineapple.  Plus for what this normally goes a bottle I would suggest picking up a few bottles because for tonight only it's on sale for under $13 dollars! Anywhere else $15 or higher!

Reds:

• Sterling Vineyards Vintner's Collection Meritage - This is one of the best blended red wines I have ever tasted. It's the perfect blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot. It has a hint of oak, a little bit of pepper, very jammy, and the perfect amount of tannins that wont leave your mouth feeling like velvet wall paper. The price is a steal as well at $7.49 a bottle. 
• Sterling Vineyards Vintner's Collection Cabernet Sauvignon - Here's a wine that gets better and better as it breathes. This is an oaky wine that has hints of spice, fruity jam, and a hint of vanilla. Awesome wine! Great Cabernet Sauvignon for the price. 

Sparkling: 

• Castillo del Piggio Moscato d' Asti - A great sweet wine with a hint of bubbles. This is the perfect wine to drink as a dessert and skip the sweets. It has tastes of peach and fruits but not over done. A very well balanced sweet wine and that's sometimes hard to find. Great to bring to a holiday party that even non wine drinkers can enjoy. 

That's all for tonight so stop in any time between 4 - 8 and say hi and bring friends. 

Next Week Wine Tasting for the 29 & 30: Sparkling Wines. Yeeehaa! 

• Nicolas Fueillatte Brut and his Brut Rose
• Emeri Pink Mocato
• Martini a Rossi Moscato d' Asti

Stop in tonight or next week! 

Cheers,
