The wine offerings changes somewhat seasonally, but both Aimee and Will and general manager Michael Tassone have clear favorites.Īimee’s choice for the months ahead: a Gary Farrell 2006 Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, California. “ We look hard to find wines that have scored over 90 points in various wine industry magazines, and yet are under $30 per bottle.” “We specialize in hard to find wine, and we like to sponsor guest tastings,” Aimee said. In addition to DiArie’s wines, you’ll find wines from Lava Cap, Twisted Oak and Boeger in the shop as well as other small production, small vintage wines. DiArie was invited to pour at Incline Spirits because both Aimee and Will love wines from California’s Sierra Foothills.
Aimee loved wine more than the computer engineering field, and she was encouraged by Will, owner of 6 restaurants over several years.Ĭ.

Nicely structured, complex, good balance and acidity. This splendid array of aromas carries through to the palate. The new vintage (2008) is now available at a slightly higher price, but the 2006 has all that you’d want in Primitivo, closely related to Zinfandel: floral fruity aroma, such as raspberry, Marion berry, black cherry, plum, blackberry. They were pouring their wonderful 2006 Primitivo, Estate Grown on 2-acre Block 4 in their Shenandoah Valley vineyard. I have great admiration for their wines, and the story of how food-scientist Chaim moved from such innovations as Cap’n Crunch and Power Bars to winemaking is one of the stories you’ll see in my forthcoming book. Stay tuned ….But never mind, I got there via a prompt from Chaim and Elisheva Gur-Arieh, owners of C. Both winemakers and their families will attend both parties. There will be a release party for the wine in both locations, in Mt. At the onset, this wine will be available for sale as futures, with a maximum purchase of two bottles, on a first-come, first-served basis. A total of 175 cases will be bottled by both wineries. “2+2=1” will be bottled simultaneously but separately by C.G Di Arie and JOLO in July. It is quite remarkable that these four different varieties coming from different parts of the world can live together so harmoniously and create such a well-balanced wine having one of the most unusual and eclectic flavor profiles. Di Arie are Cabernet Franc (20%) originating in Bordeaux Zinfandel (20%) from Croatia and Petite Sirah (20%) from Rhone. The other three varieties used in “2+2=1”, contributed by C. This is what made it an ideal wine variety for the kind of environment present in Missouri. Norton is a hardy variety that is impervious to disease and can survive extreme weather conditions. In 1830, the vines found a home in Missouri, which would become the wine capital of the new country, and Norton the signature grape. Norton commercialized the grape and made it available for purchase. After his discovery of the Native American grape that would take his name, Dr. Norton, after having a very tragic occurrence in his early life, losing both his wife and newborn child, immersed himself into this project. Norton was experimenting with grape varieties that could produce the quality wines of the old world. Jefferson, a wine lover who tried to cultivate a wine culture in his new land, did not know that Dr. Norton whose origin goes back to one of America’s founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson. This variety was created in the 19th century by Dr. However, with the advent of DNA testing, it was shown to be identical to Norton, the first Native American variety. Cynthiana, which is now also known as Norton, at first was thought to be a different variety. The major wine variety in this wine, Cynthiana (40%) was contributed by JOLO. “2+2=1” has four components, one coming from the JOLO Vineyards and the other three from CG Di Arie.
