20230607 Weekly Wine Times
Belmont Stakes: Saturday June 10th
Join us for the running of the 3rd jewel of the Triple Crown: the Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park in New York! Spin to get your horse to watch and hopefully win. You do not have to be present to win but it is fun to watch in the Tasting Room. Post time is about 5:50 pm CDT - book your reservation for that last seating to watch with us and get your prize immediately. (Please no back-to-back reservations today). For those of you who cannot make it to the Tasting Room, you can select your horse by spinning the wheel and recording the horse selected by the wheel via this form SPIN. If your horse wins you will receive a bottle of 2021 Riesling. Note: Only 1 spin per person please whether in the Tasting Room or online!
On Saturday only enjoy $5 glasses of 2021 Riesling for our wine of choice for the Belmont. It's not quite a Belmont Jewel drink but we do get a little of the lemon taste. Our 2021 Riesling tasting notes are: Spirited nose exhibiting stone fruit, minerality and white flower blossom, bright acidity on the palette with lemon zest and youthful citrus finish.
