And the tasting notes continue! Now that I can access internet on my laptop in my lovely home-away-from-home in Napa, expect more posts from me on a regular basis. Beginning today, I will be reviewing a wine that I recommend —that's well-worth a try —every Tuesday.
{TASTING NOTES TUESDAY}
This crisp, dry and full-bodied '10 Sauv Blanc was thoroughly enjoyed at my birthday lunch at Ehlers Estate last week. Sipping the well-balanced wine with notes of grapefruit and lemon with hints nectarine and apricot, it was refreshing treat on the warm Napa summer afternoon.
Using bio-dynamic practices, I love the fact that Ehlers makes their wines from 100% estate-grown, certified organic grapes. In addition to their impressive environmental awareness, Ehlers Estate also exhibits a philanthropic mission. The not-for-profit winery donates one hundred percent of their proceeds in wine sales to support the Leduq Foundation for cardiovascular research. Makes every sip that much more rewarding.

Ehlers Estate...priceless!
Like being transported to a secret Tuscan villa surrounded by a grove of olive trees, only better.
The wine is elegant,dry,crisp and delizioso.
Love it! So very true, Mom. Couldn't have said it better. :)
