New Growth and Summertime Wines
They’re Baaaaack! Little green balls, soon to be plump, luscious and juicy red and green grapes are finally popping out of our vines again. At the beginning of April we saw the first buds break through the branches and now, just one month later, the vines are growing thick and fruiting. Come see for yourself and be quick because those bad boys are growing fast!
This is an exciting and awesome time of year not just for us at Castoro, but all of Paso Robles. Summer is just around the corner and once again the weather is hot! This means summer concerts, chilled white wine by the glass, laying out at the beach, picnics in the vineyard, and of course a plethora of wine tasting events and festivals almost every weekend. I’ll be at every event possible, so come say Hi wherever you see the Castoro name or logo. If I don’t see you I will be very disappointed and you will miss out on ridiculously good wine, beaver stickers and whatever else I may have up my sleeve that day.
Also, to make it all better and to give me something new to talk about we have some fresh, new wines coming your way. The always delicious Pinot Grigio is back, bottled and ready for action in its 2012 form of course. This year Sherrie describes the Pinot Grigio as round, but crisp, displaying honey suckle and apricot on the nose. The mouth is bursting with passion fruit and pineapple and finishes with subtle notes of Meyer lemon. Yum!
The Primitivo 2011 also just got bottled and it looks sexy as ever with its new sleek black capsule. The Primitivo, Sherrie says, is a lively wine filled with ripe strawberries and fresh plums with a touch of earthiness and black pepper spice.
If you’re in the mood for pink, don’t fret because we have you covered there too with our 2012 Rosato Di Zinfandel. Now in a screw cap, this delicate, dry Rosé has flavors of raspberry jam and fresh plum with a crisp white pepper finish. Perfect for any hot day
More wines will be bottled soon, but until then, come see me at A Day in the Shade in Templeton this Saturday, May 11th, from 11:30-5. I’ll be waiting for you.
Thanks for reading,
Erik
