June 2004 At Yorkville Cellars-where we continue celebrating 10 vintages! Sunday, June 6th - Today we did a vertical tasting of our Eleanor of Aquaitaine, a white mertiage, back to the 1995 vintage. The general consensus is how extraordinarily well these Semillon-based wines hold up and age with grace -just like Eleanor, herself, did! All of the wines were hand-crafted by Greg Graziano, our winemaker, from estate grapes harvested in our Randle Hill Vineyard, behind the tasting room.
Wine C lub members Mr. & Mrs. Tom Barrett and Mrs. Engebretsen enjoy the vertical tasting with hors d'oeuvres and local cheeses served by Deborah Wallo, proprietor.
