Enjoying wine flights
Why try a wine flight?
At it's core, wine is an agricultural product that is directly effected by the terrier it is grown. In addition, wine making styles, aging, types of barrels used, fermentation etc. change the taste of the wine within the same grape varietal.
This brings us to wine flights. Offering flights allows everyone to try several wines within a varietal or to compare varietals to fine tune ones palette or to further learn what wines pair with what foods.
This week we are offering 3 new flights. Stop in to #yourwineshop to taste these wonderful selections and learn more.
