BARRAMUNDAYS WINE & VINYL

Southern Hemisphere Stand Off


New Zealand made its mark on the Wine Scene in the 1980's, offering Sauvignon Blanc in the form of a fruit bomb with highly aromatic notes of gooseberry, tropical fruit, and of course, that leafy green-ness that is characteristic of the varietal.  Love it or hate it, these powerful white wines made a huge impact on the wine industry, one that is still keenly felt today.

Perhaps as a reaction to the intense flavors (and hype) of these New Zealand wines, South Africa steered their Sauv Blancs halfway towards the Loire Valley, with the intention of bringing in some old world elegance to balance out all that powerful fruit.

Do these two different regions' wines have more in common? Or are they defined more by the differences between them? Want to find out? For free?

Free tasting, and ALL price points only $8 a glass.
With DJ Ilmo spinning eclectic lounge as only he can. Cheese by Saxelby's. (Goat, of course!)

South American Reds! Free tasting tonight..

BARRAMUNDAYS WINE & VINYL

Argentina vs Chile vs Uruguay

South American wines combine new world wine and old world character.

Uruguay is not the first country to spring to mind when talking wine- even South American wine. But as a matter of fact, the Tannat grape, originally from southwest France, thrives in Uruguay, with the warm climate softening Tannat's usual naturally rough tannins.

Chile and Argentina are known for Cabernet and Malbec, respectively. These wines offer great value for the price, with wines that are young and approachable, yet with some complexity.

Join us tonight, for a free tasting, only $8 a glass!

Warm Days, Cool Nights, California Wine Tasting Tonight

BARRAMUNDAYS WINE & VINYL

"Wine is sunlight, held together by water."

                                              - Galileo

California is a winemaker's dream where the magical alchemy of long, warm days and cool foggy nights, a rich variety of soil types- sand, clay, loam, granite, volcanic ash, seabed soil, river-run gravel -and a uniquely American sensibility all come together to create wines with a character unique as the state itself.

Volumes have been written about California wines, some of which are among the best in the world, so let's get right to the tasting. Tonight we will sample those two classic varietals that California is so very good at: Cabernet, and Chardonnay.

DJ Ilmo spins tonight, vinyl + more vinyl. Eclectic lounge, bossa nova, jazz, ol' reggae, more.

Cheese by Saxelby's.
