Greetings from CT Wine Authority!
Our
featured wines this week are TerraNoble Pinot Noir
Reserva and Ku de Ta Sauvignon Blanc from the Casablanca Valley in
Chile. Over the past decade, many wine lovers have discovered the
quality wines coming from the Casablanca Valley.
Today it
is one of the fastest growing areas for viticulture in Chile,
especially for Sauvignon Blanc. Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir grapes
flourish in the Casablanca Valley's cool growing conditions and wines
from this area typically show high acidity and
fresh fruit aromas.
We hope you can join us this Saturday at
either of our locations for a free tasting of this week's wines.

Terranoble's Pinot Noir Reserva is a coastal
Pinot Noir of the New World offering a totally modern style where the
fruit and freshness are the center of the wine. The Casablanca Valley is
a semi-cold valley with excellent ventilation coming from the sea,
producing a very slow maturation and giving the wine a perfect balance.
Tasting
Notes: This Pinot Noir Reserva is brilliant red in color, and boasts
intense and harmonic aromas of red fruits such as cherry and strawberry.
On the palate it is soft and full of flavor, displaying the full
characteristics of the Pinot Noir grape. more

The decision to feature two Chilean wines
this week was influenced by the recent natural disaster. The 8.8
magnitude earthquake ravaged, not only Chilean wine country, but the
lives of countless Chilean people. We encourage our customers to donate
to their favorite charity or read more about some of the charities
responding to Chile's needs. You may visit their Web sites by clicking
