Wine of the Day: Kaesler “Stonehorse” 2006
How about a little midnight in a glass?
Kaesler “Stonehorse” 2006 ($18): This Grenache, Shiraz and Mouvedere blend from Australia’s Barosso Valley is midnight in a glass! Big, dark and dense wine that’s purple to black offering aromas of blackberry and licorice. This wine is explosive on the palate with full throttle flavors of black fruit while being layered with subtle oak, hints of cocoa, spice box and pepper. Velvety smooth with length and persistance on the palate.
Michael Grossberg of The Grape Exchange in New Rochelle will
be providing the wines for our wine festival this year, and to get
everybody excited, he’s written descriptions of many of the more than
200 wines you can taste there.
I’ll post one a day here on Small Bites. Do let me know
if you’ve had it before, and what you think!
I’ll
be at The Greater New York Wine & Food Festival May 15-17 at the
Doubletree Hotel Tarrytown. There’s a Chefs Uncorked! Big Talent-Small
Bites kick off party on Friday, two grand tastings, cooking demos and
wine seminars Saturday and a casino night Saturday night. Sunday brunch
is for VIP guests. Tickets for most events are $75-$100. Visit lohud.com/wine for more information.
