vino wrote this on December 11, 2008

BrandyWine Cellars is hosting a wine tasting with the Longshadows Project tomorrow night, Friday, December 12 from 6-8pm. The cost is $10 a person, but $5 will be deducted if you purchase any of the wines open for tasting.

RSVP required with Brandy at (919) 405-3838.

From the BrandyWine eNewsletter:
This is the first time anyone has ever poured almost every wine from the Longshadows Project on a single wine tasting. Let me tell you just a little about the Longshadows project so you can get an idea of what a HUGE deal this is…. Every one of the wines produced by this project has consistently scored over 90pts. Some of the world’s most respected winemakers have come to Washington State to make serious wine, the result of a new venture to bring a “Dream Team” from many corners of the world to Washington state. Long Shadows Vintners is the brainstorm of Allen Shoup, 59, former CEO of Stimson Lane (Chateau Ste. Michelle and Columbia Crest wineries, to name a few). Shoup said those who “have cast long shadows on the wine industry” inspired the name.

The Wines:

  1. Poets Leap Riesling – 94pts. Wine Enthusiast/ 91pts. Robert Parker. Retail: $24.00
  2. Saggi Sangiovese Blend – 92 pts. Robert Parker / 90pts. Wine Enthusiast. Retail: $51.00
  3. Pirouette Cabernet Blend – 90 pts. Wine Spectator / 91 pts. Robert Parker. Retail: $63.00
  4. Pedestal Merlot – 94pts. Robert Parker / 90 pts. Wine Spectator. Retail: $62.00
  5. Feather Cabernet Sauvignon – 92 pts. Robert Parker. Retail: $68.00
