Well as you can imagine from reading my posts that I may not have the most patience when it comes to lectures or seminars. Doc and I ventured out to Yosemite at the Ahwahnee Hotel for their annual vintners event. First up is the Gloria Ferrer tasting seminar. Well I may have stopped listening and skipped ahead and tasted all my glasses of sparking 😉 My favorite is the NV Blanc de Noir. It’s a sparking made of Pinot grapes. Very tasty and smooth. Runner up was the 2007 Blanc de Blanc made 100 % of chard. Subtle and great alone on a warm or cold day. My least fav was their 2005 Royal Cuvée. It smells “old” is the only thing that comes to mind then it tastes too yeasty and sour to me. I do like to visit the winery when in Napa and now I’m excited to know exactly what to order when I’m there on my next visit!
