This week features our interview with David Eakle of Pope Valley Winery out of Napa Valley.
Wines featured in this episode – these wines were sent to us as samples.
2018 Sauvignon Blanc – a really wonderful representation of a warmer style SB with lots of stonefruit and tropical aromas and flavors, and is also a refined and delicate wine – so a great pairing with light seafood dishes.
2016 Sangiovese – great crowd pleader wine. This is your pizza pairing wine. Sangiovese is the grape of Chianti, and although this wine is not a Chianti, it tastes like it would pair with similar foods. We enjoyed it best when it was decanted for about an hour.
2016 Petit Verdot – This is a very intense, bold and savory wine with a lot of complex flavors and aromas going on.
