Richland, Aug 20, 2019 (Issuewire.com) - J. Bookwalter Winery welcomes "1st Edition", a new bottling added to their Summer white wine line up. To celebrate the new wine an educational class will be held at the winery's Woodinville Wine Studio to showcase the wine's heritage and flavour.
WINE AND FOOD
Bookwalter Winery has just released "First Edition" a white wine styled and inspired by the unique white wines of Bordeaux, France. Winery owner John Bookwalter was smitten by these wines of tremendous finesse and flavor on a tour of First Growth properties in Bordeaux in 2010, and wanted to bring that tradition back to the Northwest.
The wine is a blend of the three traditional white grapes of the Bordeaux region: Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and Muscadelle, all of which Bookwalter obtains from the highly sought after Conner Lee Vineyard.
John says, "It's a wine of elegance and depth, perfect with Summertime foods, at your home, or at our Fiction restaurant"
To celebrate the very first vintage of 1st Edition, the winery's Wine Studio in Woodinville will host an educational class that will discuss the style and tradition of white wine grown in Bordeaux. The class will be taught by J Bookwalter Winery Tasting Room manager Kyla Welsh, who will demonstrate how French techniques and flavours translate to crafting similarly styled wines in the Northwest. "The best part of the class is the opportunity to taste the First Edition white blend alongside the wines from Bordeaux", says Welsh.
The class is scheduled for August 23rd, 6:30-8p, the cost is $25 per person for J. Bookwalter Winery club members, and $35 for non -members. Seating is limited to the first 20 students who are ready to taste and learn. Location is the J. Bookwalter Winery Wine Studio, 14810 NE 145th St, Bldg. B, Woodinville, WA 98072
According to Kyla, this class will kick off a series of casual, drop-in weekly education classes to be featured at the Woodinville Wine Studio, Wednesdays from 5p-6pm, with a "more in-depth" class to be featured once a month.
