Hello, Feastlings.
Some wineries make excellent Chardonnay; some make delicious Pinot Noir, or tasty Sauvignon Blanc. A handful, though, excel at pretty much whatever they do. Winemaker Ted Edwards has been making wine at Freemark Abbey for 31 years now, and he’s not only learned all the subtleties and intricacies of the winery and its vineyards; he’s integrated them into his being. Wednesday, March 2nd, Estate Manager Barry Dodds will be in Tucson and we’ll be pouring four of Freemark Abbey’s wines with dishes we’ve designed to compliment them. If you’d like to join us- the dinner is at 6:30- please give us a call at 326-9363 to make a reservation (web and email reservations will not hold a place at the dinner.)
