While shopping at River Park Square in Spokane on Saturday, my fiance and I decided to try a glass of wine from Arbor Crest at the food court. We decided to try the 2006 Sauvignon Blanc (which is on special right now for just $11 for a bottle) and it was great. It offered a lot of fruity flavors and was very fresh tasting and lively. Although the lady assisting us was a bit eccentric, she was very knowledgeable and gave us some good tips:
1. when smelling a wine, leave the level and bring your nose all the way into the glass, even going so far as to bring your cheeks to the glass.
2. swirl the wine so that it gets as thin to the glass as possible for approx. 25 seconds to allow as much air into it as possible and then smell it again. This time it should smell much more fruity.
Arbor Crest Winery is located in Spokane and offers a large variety of wines. The actual winery is a great place to go wine tasting, have a wedding, and to host many other events. Check out their website at http://www.arborcrest.com/ for more information!
