Saturday March 16th tasting with Isaac of Republic National from 1p-4p

A full-body and velvety smooth tannins make an excellent first impression with all who seek a really good Merlot. Currant, black cherry and plum please the mid-palate while vanilla, violet and sweet wood essence heighten the nose. Handpicked fruit for this Merlot was sourced specifically from areas in Sonoma County that elicit the ultimate expression of full fruit and velvety texture, while maintaining varietal integrity.  In the winery we used a variety of techniques to maximize flavor intensity and retain bright fruit flavors while managing tannin levels, including cold soaking, pump over, and varying fermentation lengths and temperatures.  The wine was aged in French and American oak for 16 months. It's $16.59 and a perfect example of "when Merlot is good, it's REALLY good."

The Benziger family has been making Pinot Noir for decades, mainly from grapes in their home county of Sonoma. This Monterey offering represents great value and the best of the 'California style' of Pinot Noir. The Benzigers were brave in putting this wine in a screwcap but then again it is sustainably farmed under the 'Farming for Flavors' grape growing program, certified by Stellar Certification Services. It's $16.59.
Then there's this guy! Charles Smith, a rock star of the wine industry. We will be featuring 2 of his wines (rose' & pinot grigio) He just don't care & that's why I like him so much. You may know him from Kung Fu Girl  Riesling, The Velvet Devil etc. He's also known making wines too, with Charles Bieler of Provance, the Charles & Charles lines of wines. His Vino series is new to us, stop in and check them out! 
For his Pinot Grigio 2017, Smith Says "A hike through the Italian Alps. Dried mountain hay, honeysuckle and Pippin apples lift the senses.A trail of tangerine, summer melon and fresh cut herbs leads you along the path of minerality with a supple and satisfying mouthfeel. This delicious wine completes your journey." - Charles

The 2017 Rose he says "Fresh, supple, complex, aromatic compelling watermelon, herbal, white pepper, lilac. In the mouth expansive citrus blossoms, cut straw and mineral laden rose….all day…..all night. Rose….always."- Charles

He is the man that coined the phrase, "You can drink Rose and still be a badass!"
They are both $13.59 & 10% off during the tasting.
Another New Annual Event for us will be ROSE DAY! Thank god they've taken off after the abomination of White Zinfandel. They are dry, the can be delicate, they can taste like strawberries, you can guzzle them or you can savor them. So far, we are up to 8 different ones for you to choose from with more to be added. We may even have a few last years vintages for you to sample against this years releases. Of course, you'll get deals on last years wines. There is an actual Rose Day, the second Saturday in June, but we aren't waiting. As soon as I get what I think is a suitable amount to please YOU! I'll announce the day in April.
This is our next book for The Murphy Beverage Co & Winchester Book Gallery's next meeting. We went with a classic & it's the book store owner, Christine Patrick's favorite book! I can't wait to tear into it & pair wines with it! We will meet at the Book Gallery's NEW location (7 N. Loudoun) on April 3rd at 6pm. The cost is $10.00 and you'll have the opportunity to buy the wines at a discount at the end of the evening. There's on rule of book club & that is that you have to buy the book at the Book Gallery! It's all about community not Amazon...'K? If you'd like to join our Facebook Group, You can request to do so here: Murphy Beverage Co. & Winchester Book Gallery Wine & Book Club
