This years Spring Barrel Tasting was a hit! Over a hundred people came and enjoyed the sites, sounds, and tastes here at Ingleside this past Saturday. Peter Fields and his band filled the courtyard with beautiful music as our guests enjoyed our wine. The barrel tasting was held in the cellar where guests got to try our Sangiovese 2008 vintage from 4 different types of barrels. This wine came from the same harvest and batch and was put in the barrels the same day, the difference lies in the wood. Each barrel is oak, but from different parts of the world making the characteristics different which have a different effect on the wine. The oak barrels tasted from were French, Virginia, American, and European (French and Hungarian blend) oaks. Come to our next barrel tasting November 13, 2010! See ya there!
