6 July Tasting at the East Hill Bottle Shop
There are a LOT of grape varieties out there, thousands, and every now and then you run into one that you have never heard of. Glera is one grape variety that I do not remember encountering, and it was the main grape in the blend of tonight's Wine of Note. Avissi is a very delightful extra dry (not as dry as a Brut) Sparkling Rose wine. The unique blend of Glera, Pinto Noir, and Merlot was fun to drink and definitely makes its way on the Summer Wine list.
