Join WHWC for the Wines of Ribera del Duero
 The Wines of Ribera del Duero
WHWC Winebar
Saturday, June 23rd, 2012 2-6 PM With Special Guest Allison Levine of Drink Ribera Join WHWC for and afternoon exploring the wines of Ribera del Duero. Located within the Castilla y Leon region on the great northern plateau of the Iberian peninsula, Ribera del Duero is known for powerful, earthy, full-bodied reds that boast excellent quality-to-price ratio. Largely due to the pioneering successes of Bodegas Vega Sicilia (established 1864) and Bodega Pesquera in the 1970, the Ribera del Duero DO was founded in 1982. There are now over 170 producers in the region. Though wine production derives almost exclusively from red grapes, Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) being the work horse, there is a small quantity of white, made from indigenous grape Albillo. You’ll get to taste 10 wines, including one small production white, and we’ll have guest Allison Levine on hand to answer your questions about the region.

Join WHWC for the Wines of Stéphane Tissot (Jura, France)
 The Wines of Stéphane Tissot
Jura, France WHWC Winebar
Saturday, June 16th, 2012 2-6 PM* With Special Guest Amanda Linn A wine region nestled in the mountains between Burgundy and Switzerland, the Jura possesses a colder climate, late harvest times, and enormous diversity of soil structure. Marl, clay and limestone- based soils provide the framework for unique wines to thrive, such as the indigenous Savagnin, Trousseau, and Poulsard. Tissot’s quest for “aromatic diversity” has led to the creation of more than 30 different bottling: he makes seven different Chardonnays alone. Tissot believes that the different grape varietals and different winemaking techniques are due to the fact that the Jura was Spanish for the greater part of the 17 th century (80 years) – this is how sherry-like Vin Jaune came to the Jura. Tissot went completely biodynamic in 2004, claiming it an easier way to keep yields low while increasing minerality and acidity. Winewise distributor Amanda Linn will be on hand to answer your questions.
