Aragon’s April Cru Tasting

I will keep saying it: Make it a point to go to the local monthly and special wine tastings!Everyone has a lot going on in their personal lives, and I understand not getting out regularly to our local wine tastings, I get it. But if you can get to one every now and then go to a venue’s once-a-month or special tasting. They are so worth it!Aragon Wine Market has a tasting every Thursday. 3 out of 4 are free. The 3rd Thursday is their “special” Cru tasting.  You are going to get higher quality wines, food, and live music.Why I go? Higher quality wines! This evening didn’t disappoint with a Wine of Note, our highest category of wine! A white blend from the oldest winery in South Africa. Constantia Uitsig Natura Vista, 2019, is a blend of 72% Semillion and 28% Sauvignon Blanc. What made this wine so unique?This was the best “seafood” white wine that I have had in a LONG time! With its vineyards right on the coast of the Western Cape, it had a wonderfully flora nose with a layered palate consisting of a complex mix of pear, citrus, and salinity.This white can be paired with any shellfish, any white flaky fish, cooked in almost any way. Unique, everyone liked it, and a great overall wine equals a Wine of Note. Look for the once-a-month and special tastings on our calendar.  Hope to see you at the next one!
