“Barnyard Blanc”: Wine and wild petting zoo, Weds., 8/20.

Not only did Brett personally select all the wines in this week’s complimentary tasting (and petting zoo, Wednesday, 8/20, 5-7pm), he also came up with the perfect name for the event: “Barnyard Blanc.”

The term “barnyard” is commonly used in wine parlance to describe certain aromas in old world wines. Today, we might just call it “funk.”

The descriptor “leans into the rustic, funky vibe of both wine and animals,” says Brett. “In true farm fashion, all of the wines are either biodynamic or organic.”

He adds that Loire lovers should be sure not to miss “an older, rare white Chinon from [legendary producer] Olga Raffault.”

Each of the wines reflects a different expression of Chenin Blanc to taste side-by-side.

The tasting will be paired with guests, wild and domesticated, from Tails of Two Cities Sanctuary. For those of you who attended the last one of these events, you know how unique, fun, and memorable it was. We hope to see you then. The wines follow below!
