T'was the Night Before Limiteds . . .

 

Five little slices o' heaven

I'm so very excited! Limited Edition 2010 is finally here! The five varieties are

• January:
  
  • Shiraz/Viognier blend
  • Pacifica White, a blend North Coast California Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier, British Columbia Chardonnay, and Australian  Semillon
• February: Italian Primitivo, from Puglia
• March: Austrian Gruner Veltiliner
• April: Portuguese Douro Tinto, a red blend of Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca

I've been tasting these wines since late spring, helping with formulations and it's been killing me. I want to make them now, the Pacifica to drink right away, the Puglia Primitivo (the Italian word for Zinfandel) for pasta, the Gruner Veltliner for seafood, the Shiraz/Viognier for lamb and the Douro Tinto, a dry table red made from the grapes that go into Port, just for drinking.

As always, these wines are limited: first come, first serve and once they're gone, we sometimes wait 20 years to bring them back.

I'll be touring Canada and the USA, doing wine tastings and food and wine pairings with the Limited Styles. In the next week I'll publish my tour schedule, and if I'm in your area, make sure to come one down. If you can't make it. have a look here for most of my presentation--it's the next best thing to buying you a glass. Okay, it's pretty far away from that, but at least I can tell you about the wines.

Happy Limiteds everyone, and I'll see you in your hometown.
