Comedic Interpretation of Wine and Thanksgiving
City Vino, 100 Hanover st, Fredericksburg, VA, USTurkey? Maybe. Or maybe it’s just November, and we’ve got turkey on the brain along with a side of family drama. 🍗😅 Either way, we’ve got the perfect antidote: comedy and wine this weekend! Come lift your spirits, laugh off the chaos, and happily consume more wine than you probably should—because sometimes laughter (and a good glass) is exactly what the holiday season calls for.
Canto Alla Moraia Principessa Sparkling Rose Veneto Italy NV 100% Raboso. Elegant bouquet of wild strawberry, raspberry, cherry, and elderberry. On the palate, these same red-fruit aromas are echoed, framed by impressive acidity that provides lift and structure. The mousse is lively and persistent, adding texture and energy. Body is medium, flavor intensity is medium-plus, and the finish is long and crisp,
Bob's Chenin Blanc Western Cape South Africa 2024 100% Chenin Blanc. Aromas of spring flowers with hints of honeysuckle, peach, guava, melon, light gooseberry, and wet stone. Flavors continue to the palate with the addition of yellow apple, honey, chamomile. Bright, refreshing, acidity balances the punch of fruit flavors with a medium plus finish.
Glassblower Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley California 2023 Primarly Cabernet Sauvigon. Aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, and violets, followed by vanilla, cedar, mocha, and baking spice. Subtle hints of dried blackberry and cocoa emerge with air. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, showing ripe black fruit, dark chocolate, espresso, and warm oak spice. Tannins are medium-plus to high, fine-grained and chalky, with medium to medium-plus acidity giving lift. Rich texture, intense flavor, and a long, persistent finish of cassis, cocoa, and sweet spice. A classic, structured, and plush Calistoga Cabernet.
