THE SALT CELLAR SERIES: A TASTE OF SPAIN AND ITALY


Tuesday, November 15, 2011 7pm
 $40 (+ tax and gratuity)

The team at Salt welcomes you to the Cellar Series where we will pair Spanish cheeses to Spanish wine and Italian charcuterie to Italian wine, complete with matching condiments, as well as fresh bread and crackers from our own Penn Bakery...a truly unique experience for all!

The featured wines for this event are:

From Spain:

Jaume Serra Cava Brut Nature. A pale yellow with shades of green, crystal clear and integrated with fine bubbles. The nose is aromatic with good intensity, fresh and fruity but with notes of aging. Well structured, smooth and balanced. Made with Parellada, Macabeo and Xarel-lo grapes.

Jorge Ordonez Selections- Botani 2010; Muscat de Alexandria. Fragrant aromas of jasmine, honey, and tropical fruits inform the nose of this nicely proportioned, intense, savoury, dry wine.

Can Blau- Kia 2009. A blend of Syrah, Garnacha and Carinena that has been aged for three months in French oak. Deep ruby red, hints of red and black fruits and spices along with soft, vanilla flavours of new oak.

From Italy:

Monte Antico IGT 2007. Bright plum, dried cherry and flowers on the nose. Full bodied, with fine tannins and refined berry and cherry flavours.

Tellus Marche IGT 2007. Ruby with purple reflections, the bouquet is elegant, reminiscent of violets, roses, raspberries and cherries; silky on the palate, distinct finesse and balance, crystal clear red fruit, the individual varietal traits gracefully compliment each other. Youthfully easy to enjoy and at the same time, shows breed and harmony.

Toscolo Chianti DOCG 2009. Brilliant ruby in colour, this forward, predominantly Sangiovese red is supple, fruity and flavourful on the palate, with appealing balance and near unlimited matchability with food.

So join us on November the 15th for an evening highlighting the joys of these two beautiful countries.
