Wine, Wine, Wine...


Last Friday some friends came over for dinner and we had our own private wine tasting. Hookah Girl provided what was to become my new favorite.
Evolution is a white, blending nine different varieties of grapes...

Sokol Blosser NV Evolution from Willamette Valley, Oregon

We shortened the name to Evolution (we also trademarked it) and had fun with the package. The new label picks up similar elements of the old label with a fresh twist. It reflects how Evolution evolves: the same classic blend of 9 white grapes, each pressed separately, adding its own character.
At the same time, every new bottling has its own subtle and fresh personality; this edition is slightly less sweet than the last. The 9 grapes tie together perfectly, creating a smooth, layered white wine that can hold its own or stand up to just about any food pairing you dare to serve it with. It is extraordinarily food-friendly, from light salads to the hottest fusion-style cuisine.
I'm no professional, but this is the best wine I've had in a long time...
