Standing in a loft on the 19th floor looking out across the Baltimore Harbor with a glass of 2007 Familia Zuccardi Bonarda Serie A. This was the scene at The Last Tango wine tasting with Wine Express Tastings hosted by Rita Blackwell. What a fantastic way to spend the evening. Guests walked around the Silo Point loft and were treated to a sparkling chardonnay, torrontes, and sauvignon blanc in the marble topped kitchen; then we adjourned to the upstairs loft area for the reds, bonarda, carmenere, malbec, and cabernet sauvignon.
With the sweeping views of the harbor and the delicious wines...the whole atmosphere of it all makes me wonder what I enjoyed more, the ambiance or the wines! But being a wine lover, and after tasting that Bonarda with those ripe cranberry and blackberry flavors with the slightest hint of oak and the 2007 Andeluna Malbec Select again with hints of oak, vanilla and dark cherries...the wines were definitely the highlight of my night.
Sounds like a very nice evening!!!
ReplyDeleteTanisha, I'm so very glad that you and LaMar had a chance to come to one of my Wine Express wine tastings. We do these every month at Silo Point and hope you will be able to come out on Oct. 23rd. theme not yet announced. I loved the Bonarda as well; it's not the most popular red Argentina wine here in America but in Argentina it's the second most popular next to Malbec. Hope to see you on Sunday.
