Over the next few weeks, I will be featuring the wines of Shannon Ridge Family of Wines as a prelude to our Wine Dinner to be held at The Loft Restaurant at The Cove Resort Inn, West Yarmouth, on the 27th of October at 6:00. If interested - our last Wine Dinner at Gerardi's Cafe was a huge success - please call 774-552-2177 for reservations.
As more and more vineyards are thankfully doing, Shannon Ridge practices sustainable farming which means that it wants to ensure a productive future for the land for generations to come.
The first wine served at the Wine Dinner will be Shannon Ridge Sauvignon Blanc to accompany an Arugula salad with shaved fennel, orange, grape tomatoes, and champagne lime vinaigrette. This wine, not as intense and fruit-forward as the Sauvignon Blancs of New Zealand, has aromas and flavors of apple, grapefruit, mango, lemon grass, with a good acidity which holds all the components together. A perfect complement to the salad.
Taste and see! What is even better, come to the Wine Dinner, and taste and see!
