FINE WINE TASTING @ SAVOUR WITH WENDY KODER

OF R & B WINE IMPORTS

A veteran with more than 30 years of experience in the food and wine industry in New England, Wendy is a familiar face to many. The energy and passion she exudes have helped to create lasting relationships, both on and off premise, and with wine makers world-wide.

 Although experienced in many areas of the wine industry, Wendy’s greatest satisfaction is introducing “boutique wineries” into our country. They are mostly family owned, making high quality wines and have one thing in common, the striving for excellence, which Wendy has done throughout her career. (R&B Wine Imports)

Tenuto del Melo Gavi, Italy, Varietal: Cortese, Alc.13%

Gavi’s hills have been inhabited since the Neolithic age. It has always been a strategic passage from the sea towards the north. During more recent times, the Gavi area was strongly linked to the Genovese Republic: the city’s aristocratic families chose the scenic hills for their vacation homes. Tenuta del Melo is located in the heart of Gavi’s hills. It is owned by the Rossi Cairo family that for years has promoted a project of sustainable and quality agriculture, with the progressive introduction of organic cultivation methods. The Tenuto del Melo Gavi is straw yellow, with greenish hints. The aroma offers a particularly fine mineral feeling, with notes of honey and candied citron. The mouthfeel is lively and balanced, with a fresh acidity. There are hints of almond on the finish. Excellent as aperitif. Pairs well with hors d’oeuvres, vegetable-first courses, fish, fresh young and medium aged cheese. $ 17.99

Ronchi di Manzano, Pinot Grigio Ramato, Friuli, Italy

Varietal: Pinot Gris, Alc.14%

The Ronchi di Manzano farm has been managed since 1984 by Roberta Borghese, who, together with her daughters Lisa and Nicole, personally takes care of the management of the vineyards, the cellar techniques, and the promotion of their wines. When Roberta took over the company, she immediately imposed a program of total replanting of the older vineyards with the thickening of the vines and the adoption of shorter pruning systems, convinced that a quality wine can only be obtained starting from a great quality of the grapes. Precisely for this reason, in the countryside the plants are cared for using chemical products as little as possible, and the harvest is exclusively manual and in boxes, to damage the grapes as little as possible. Pinot Grigio Ramato is a red onion color, with a dry, fresh, and balanced taste. (When Pinot Grigio grapes are crushed and the skins are allowed to spend time with the juice, a teasing, tactile texture and coppery hue results in a distinct wine style called ramato. It comes from the word ‘rame’ which means ‘copper’ in Italian). It is very fragrant, elegant, and fruity but at the same time full-bodied and powerful. Notes of fruit salad, sage, and almond are present on the nose and palate.

Pairs well with appetizers, vegetarian first courses, fish. $21.99

Casina Adelaide, Barolo, Italy

After a highly successful engineering career, Amabile Droco achieved his lifetime’s ambition when he purchased an old farmhouse and the accompanying vineyards in the heart of the village of Barolo in 1999. He hired a top new winemaking team and constructed an incredible new subterranean winery, which had a predictably positive effect on the quality of the wines produced. What really sets Cascina Adelaide apart, however, is their vineyard holdings and their commitment to demonstrating the diversity of the terroirs within the Barolo DOCG. Cascina Adelaide has been a working winery with its own “Cru” vineyards for over 100 years. They now own top sites in eight out of the 10 Barolo “Crus,” with plans to get to 10 as and when the right sites become available. At this tasting we are featuring two wines from Cascina Adelaide:

commitment to demonstrating the diversity of the terroirs within the Barolo DOCG.

Dolcetto di Diano D’Alba

Varietal:  Dolcetto, Alc. 14.5%

Once upon a time Dolcetto was a table wine usually drunk in homes in Piedmont. Today Dolcetto wine has a strong reputation among sommeliers and ardent fans as a red that can be relied on to consistently express that one particular place (Piedmont). The Cascina Adelaide Dolcetto pours an intense violet color. On the nose it has aromas of cherry, red currant, violet, and iris. On the palate, there are hints of menthol and smooth tannins, which give the wine a rich sapidity and an unexpected minerality. Pairs well with salamis and fresh cheeses. $34.99

Barolo Classico 2017

Varietal: Nebbiolo, Alc. 14%

Barolo is a wine produced in the appellation of the same name. It’s located in Northern Italy’s Piedmont region and is required to be made exclusively from the Nebbiolo grape variety. Nebbiolo, of course, is also grown in other countries around the world, but Barolo can only come from the Barolo DOCG (Denominazione d’Origine Controllata e Garantita) and must be produced following a strict set of rules and regulations, most notably that it be composed entirely of Nebbiolo that was grown on hillsides. It is known as the king of wines and the wine of kings. The Cascina Adelaide Barolo Classico is a vineyard blend that pours ruby red. On the nose, wild cherry blends with delicate woody notes. The palate is tannic, with a long finish, leading to bright acidity. Pairs well with red meat, game, truffle-based dishes, and strong cheeses. $64.99

Chris McCarthy went behind my back and created the flavor profile for the GMG Sunrise drink at Shore Nutrition. I was skeptical of his combination.

As it turns out it’s one of the best sellers and while I was in recently three different people came in and ordered it.

I’ll never hear the end of it.

GLOUCESTER, MASS. (April 2023) – To celebrate the beginning of spring, floral designers from the North Shore will create eye-catching arrangements that will be paired with art works around Cape Ann Museum as part of the popular Cape Ann Blossoms event on Saturday, May 6 and Sunday, May 7 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Cape Ann Blossoms will open with a ticketed Gala preview party on Friday, May 5 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The party will include hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, and a chance to have the first view of the inspired floral compositions located throughout the Museum. Tickets are available online on the Museum’s website.

“Cape Ann Blossoms is an important signature event of the Cape Ann Museum’s calendar, please join us for this celebration of spring and juxtaposition between natural and artistic expression,” said Oliver Barker, Director of the Cape Ann Museum. “This temporal display honors Cape Ann’s storied and rich artistic history as well as the talents of local floral designers today.”

Among the artists in the Museum collection who will be paired with local floral designers are: Milton Avery, Theresa Bernstein, Virginia Lee Burton, Leon Kroll, Umberto Romano, and others. This year floral designers will also be responding to work within the temporary exhibition This Unique Place, which showcases 5 decades of Jeff Weaver’s work as one of the area’s most beloved artists.   

Among the designers and garden clubs participating are: Margaret Allard, Linda Brown of All Purpose Flowers, Deb Gonet and Beth Williams of the Cape Ann Artisans, Bonnie Angus and Rose Beecher of the Cape Ann Garden Club, Celia Gibson of Celia’s Flower Studio, Joni Pesola of the Danvers Garden Club, Maureen Duncan and Kathy Newman of Flowerscapes by Maureen, John Archer of the Essex County Horticultural Organization, Mary Grazen Browne, Judy Caulkett, Susan Kelly and Leslie Pope of the Generous Gardeners, Cindy Gordon & Leandro Gomes of Gordon Florist and Greenhouse, Pat Fleming and Nancy Donaldson of the Hamilton Wenham Garden Club, Keelia Otten of Helios Floral, Eileen Saunders and Kerry O’Donnell of the Rockport Garden Club, Amy Sadler of Luna Moss, Beth Genovese and Gina Russo of Sage Floral Studio, Sueky Ginsburg of Suekena’s Bouquets, Nancy Walke of the Danvers Garden Club, and Misty Florez and Carol Palmer of the Yankee Dahlia Club.

Cape Ann Blossoms signifies the return of spring and the return of joyful floral colors to the Museum,” said Cape Ann Blossoms Committee member Gail Anderson. “It’s a unique and beautiful combination of nature-inspired art and fine art from the Museum’s collections.

The Cape Ann Museum, founded in 1875, exists to preserve and celebrate the history and culture of the area and to keep it relevant to today’s audiences. Spanning 44,000 square feet, the Museum is one of the major cultural institutions on Boston’s North Shore welcoming more than 25,000 local, national, and international visitors each year to its exhibitions and programs. In addition to fine art, the Museum’s collections include decorative art, textiles, artifacts from the maritime and granite industries, three historic homes, a Library & Archives and a sculpture park in the heart of downtown Gloucester. In Summer 2021, the Museum opened the 12,000 square foot Janet & William Ellery James Center at the Cape Ann Museum Green. The campus also includes three historic buildings – the White-Ellery House (1710), the recently acquired Babson-Alling House (c.1740), and an adjacent Barn (c. 1740), all located on the site at the intersection of Washington and Poplar Streets in Gloucester. CAM Green will re-open in the spring.

The Cape Ann Museum is located at 27 Pleasant Street in Gloucester and is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday, 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Admission is $15.00 adults, $12.00 Cape Ann residents, seniors, and students. Youth (under 18) and Museum members are free. Cape Ann residents can visit for free on the second Saturday of each month.
