Tasting Baumbach Wines this weekend
Vinea has something special this week, particularly for those of us in Nashville. They will showcase wines from California's Baumbach Winery, a small winery in the Sierra Foothills.
~~~
This family-run winery, in a unique part of California outside of the usual wine hotspots, produces excellent wines using traditional old world methods.
The 300-500 cases that Baumbach produces each year are available only in Nashville and Northern California. Meet Rebecca Baumbach Saturday at Corrieri's Formaggeria (12th Avenue South on Caruthers Avenue behind Vinea) from 2 - 5 and sample these excellent wines.
Produced away from California's well-known wine centers of Sonoma and Napa, these wines reflect the terroir of the mountain foothills where the grapes are cultivated.
These reds are a mix of new takes on familiar varietals, and lesser-known varietals that prove their worth.
Zinfandel - $19.99
Zinfandel was likely brought to California by Italian immigrants, and Baumbach Zinfandel is produced from the harvest of only 100 vines.
Great color, a plum nose, and a light vanilla finish.
Charbono - $19.99
Similar to the better-known Dolcetto of Italy's Piemonte region.
Charbono enjoys cult-like devotion in California - taste it to see why!
Aglianico - $21.99
Grown on fewer than 50 acres in California, Aglianico is a dark, bold red.
Blackberry with leather undertones.
Barbera - $22.99
An excellent medium-bodied wi
ne with hints of toasted almond and vanilla.

Sitting here at the horse show and watching horses and Chris Cagle
Chris Cagle plays here at the Miller Coliseum tomorrow night and as we sit here working and watching the show he passes back and forth here and there. It's funny to see a guy that would have people wanting autographs and pictures anywhere else and here he gets the head nod or just a simple "hi" from everyone.
~~~
I couldn't imagine it being like that anywhere else but in Nashville and at a horse show.

German and Austrian Wine Tasting at Vinea; March 1 from 2-5pm
Rieslings from Germany
The two Rieslings from Germany are from the same producer, and each offers a different take on dryness that will change your perception of these wines as overly-sweet.

Selbach Riesling Kabinett - $16.99
Dry, and loaded with lots of fruit.
Selbach Dry Riesling - $15.99
Okay, this one is really dry! Nice minerality.
And from Austria
Not to be outdone, Austria is home to some excellent producers. Our featured Austrian's offer a Riesling and a Gruner Veltliner.
Gobelsburg Riesling 'Gobelsburger' - $19.99
Our importer wonders whether "there is a better Riesling at this price on earth?" So do we!
Hirsch Gruner Veltliner 'Veltliner #1' - $17.99
We'll end with a different varietal, grown in a similar region. Rich and ripe - not unlike a Riesling, but different enough to make your choice difficult!
