Rich and Margot’s NotesColor and clarity: Deep garnet to purple, dark.
Nose: Scorched sugar, black licorice, eucalyptus and a hint of tar. These are good and appetizing in this wine.
Palate: Dark red fruit, eucalyptus, and cinnamon. Firm but not astringent tannins and zippy acidity.
Finish: Long and spicy
Food: This wine is a meal in a glass. Pair it with a good book. At the table, steak and lentils.

Want some? The bottle we enjoyed was from the cellar. The current vintage is 2009, and we can order some for you. Just ask.
About our notes: Our notes are not fancy, nor do they bestow wines with personalities. Our notes are about how the wine tastes … to us. Taste is personal and every honest impression is correct.
Rich’s NotesColor and clarity: Straw to pale green, clear.
Nose: Lemon and cream
Palate: Creamy taste and refreshing acidity.
Finish: Lemon and cream again, medium length, clean.
Food: This wine is refreshing enough to enjoy on its own. At the table, pair with light fish or seafood that’s not briny.

Our friend, Andrew Meader stopped by in July to tell us about his Applause Factory production, “Wine Lovers: The Wine Tasting Musical” at Saratoga’s Universal Preservation Hall. We don’t often post about events away from Glens Falls, but this one is special. “Wine Lovers” is a romantic musical set within a real wine-tasting with the audience.
From time to time, the scene here at UnCorked can resemble the musical. We have complementary wine tastings on Friday and Saturday evenings. Now and then, a couple will include a tasting at UnCorked: as part of first date; a place to pause before a show at Aimee’s or in the Wood Theater; or as a “date night” stop while Grandma is watching their toddlers. And yes, there is sometimes singing as well! On a special event day, we may have a musical guest. On past Third Thursday events, William Hale, Mark Rabin, Gary Moon, and Closer Still have performed in our artists’ space. One night, Gisella Case joined KangaRooster to share a few magical duets with our lucky guests.
“Wine Lovers: The Wine Tasting Musical” starts on Tuesday, August 9, and runs until August 21, then flies off to Baton Rouge, Louisiana for September. If you go, please tell us all about it.
Cheers!
