G-Rated Wines Virtual Tasting Special Guest

Don Burns

This week's special guest is winemaker Don Burns of Turtle Rock Vineyards based in Paso Robles. Up and coming, rockstar, exciting - these are just some of the terms used by various wine industry experts to describe Don's efforts at Turtle Rock Vineyards, a small production winery that gets its grapes from some of the finest vineyards on the west side of Paso Robles including the James Berry vineyard of Saxum fame. These wines ROCK! Or should I say TURTLE ROCK!

Join us this Friday at 7pm as we taste two wines from Turtle Rock, the 2016 Willow White, and the 2017 Willow's Cuvee.

Purchase any of the wines at The Bottle Shop or online. Special Virtual Pricing good only through Sunday.

DO YOU KNOW???

Do you know that Makr Shakr , a robotic company has produced a bartending robot that can make 20,000 drinks? It's true! There's a fully functioning bionic/robotic bar in Reykjavik,Iceland called Ice+Fries that has a robotic bartender named Toni! Check it out here in the Wine Spectator article.

Do you know the percentage of people that are drinking wine for romantic purposes during this pandemic? Do you know the number one reason for drinking wine during this pandemic? This is all according to a research done by researchers at Sonoma State University Wine Business Institute and the Texas Wine Marketing Research Institute at Texas Tech University. Check out the reasons here.

NOTES ON A WINE CARD...

The events of the past few weeks and for quite a long time have opened up a much needed dialogue in this country on race relations. My 15 year old son asked me last night to sit down with him to watch a documentary on Netflix called "13TH"

It's an insightful and thought provoking documentary on the prison system and racial inequality in the United States. It helped me understand quite a few things about the recent protests (and protests throughout my lifetime) that are happening right now. It helped me have a thoughtful conversation with my son and it gave me hope that his generation will help raise awareness and foster change in this country.

It's currently on Netflix, I highly recommend it. Check out the trailer here.

SPECIAL NOTICE:

For those of you last week interested in the Stolo Reserve Syrah 2017, we got the wine in stock! Winemaker Nicole Pope was kind enough to send the very last case available to us! It's superb and probably the wine she is becoming famous for. First come first served! It won't last long at all.
