A word from Renaissance Wines….
Saturday, March 1st, 2008
One of Orenco’s best little hideaways is Renaissance Wines, which hosts a variety of wine tastings and a fantastic update online each month…. here’s your dose of “Uncorked” for March!
“The shop seems to get busier every night! We are pleased that many of you have made Renaissance your evening hang out, and we are grateful for the relationships we are making along the way.
As the wine bar portion of the business grows, we are continually searching for top-notch, interesting, and affordable wines to make your wine experience here more pleasurable.
Recently, a group of regulars opened up a bottle of the 2006 Pascual Toso Malbec to enjoy at the shop. We were all amazed at the bold beauty brought forth through flavors of smoky plumb, boysenberry, and spiced clove. This wine seemed to be the perfect compliment to the Hercules pizza from Garlic Jim’s, and the friendly game of Cribbage enjoyed by everyone hanging around the shop (we do occasionally keep it simple).
At only $12.25 a bottle, we understand why Wine Enthusiasts named this Malbec the #1 Best Buy of 2007! In fact, we liked the wine so much that we decided to feature it in this week’s tasting of South American terrior. Thank you to everyone who made the night such a memorable one. And for all of you who were not here, be reminded of how much fun you miss when you’re away!”
