Our spring Around-the-World Wine Tasting Event is coming on Friday, April 11.Wishing to participate but aren’t quite sure what to expect? These events are meant to be FUN and informative while allowing you to taste and purchase great wines at great prices. Let me explain to you how our wine tasting events work. 1.

Winter is winding down but the chill of the season is still upon us. This brings to mind to drink a beautiful well-made glass of red Zinfandel that we are featuring and pouring by the glass. The wine is Green and Red Zinfandel, from a Napa Valley vineyard called “Chiles Mill Vineyard.”  The name is derived from the rich red iron soils veined with green serpentine which are located in the steep hillls on the east side of the Napa Valley. This site acquired its name from pioneer J.B. Chiles.

 

Cakebread Cellars, located in Napa Valley, is probably one of the most visited wineries for those traveling to California wine country. I would highly recommend it to everyone!

The wines served at the dinner will be available for purchase by placing an order with me that evening.

 

At The Bernards Inn, we offer a selection of over 45 wines by the glass, reflecting what is new and exciting in the wine world and what we would love for you to taste and enjoy. This allows you to try more wines without having to buy an entire bottle. Wine expert George Staikos shared his thoughts on our wines-by-the-glass experience with New Jersey Monthly readers.

Things in common with all three Rosés: All are dry to semi-dry and are made from red grapes; all have a short skin maceration time, meaning time the skin stays in contact with juice and seeds—with most Rosés, this is usuall...
