Quick! Imagine you have been presented with a "blind flight" of Sauvignon Blanc booze (or Chardonnay for that matter). Do you think you can pick out a booze from New Yorks Long Island opposite wines from Sancerre or New Zealand? Assume that all wines have a same color, as well as for a most part, a similar aroma profile. Such a tasting would be utterly intriguing, as most people, even tip booze writers, do not have a oppulance of comparing a singular varietal to a cousins around a world. And how does one recognize a characteristics of a Long Island booze anyway?
The on top of anticipation became being recently when a Long Island Wine Council sponsored a convention as well as blind tasting of a wines opposite others from tip general regions. The result? Long Island booze can hold a own opposite a worlds most renouned as well as expensive regions. Right right away you may be wondering about a characteristics of Long Island varietals, that have been a function of their terroir. One cause is a climate, that is very cool yet moderated by a bodies of H2O in a area. Vintage variation is considerable. And afterwards there is a soil, that as in most old universe countries is utterly vegetable in nature.
The Long Island Wine Blind Challenge began with a seminar, followed by five flights of a singular varietal (each moody was 4 glasses each). Sitting around me were multiform of Manhattans as well as a worlds excellent booze writers. Though some competence contend you have been a cloyed lot, truth be told you have been passionate about wine, with a blazing oddity to find factors obliged for what you smell as well as taste in a glass.
Long Island produces most grapes, though a key varietals have been Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay (both oaked as well as un-oaked), Merlot, as well as Cabernet Franc. Journalists tasted through five flights: Sauvignon Blanc, Un-Oaked Chardonnay, Oaked Chardonnay, Merlot, as well as Cabernet Franc. When a names of a wines were revealed, we was gratif! ied to s ee we had trustworthy a correct regions to a wines (a testament to an exhaustive booze education). Yet a analogous tasting also underscored how incredibly well-crafted wines from Long Island are, both a white as well as a red.
Linda Lawry, Director of a International Wine Center, was a Emcee of a event, with speakers together with Steve Bate, Executive Director of a Long Island Wine council, Larry Perrine, CEO/Partner of Channing Daughters Winery, as well as Kip Bedell, Founding Winemaker, Bedell Cellars.
