Wines of the Canaries Tasting at Christos' House

A first for this group - a tasting of wines from the Canaries! There are 5 islands in the archipelago of the Canaries, and this tasting will include wines from Lanzarote, Tenerife and Gran Canaria.

Canary Island wines are celebrated for their distinctive, saline, and smoky flavor profiles, a direct result of their volcanic soils and the cool Atlantic trade winds. Because the islands were largely spared from the phylloxera epidemic, many ancient vines grow on their own roots.

We'll start with 2 bottles of a white from Tenerife as the welcome wine, and then there will be another 3 whites and 5 reds, so in all 10 bottles. You can see some of the wines we will taste in the photo for this event.

Numbers will be limited to 12 people seated round one table, so almost a bottle of fine wine per person. During the tasting a selection of fine cheeses, pates, and other food will be served.
