Pedroncelli Wine Dinner at Nello Cucina














On June 27, 2012, in honor of Wine Wednesday we are hosting a Wine Dinner, featuring Pedroncelli Winery. Located in Sonoma’s Dry Creek Valley, Pedroncelli is family owned & operated.

Tonight’s featured varietals –

East Side Vineyards,  Sauvignon Blanc
Crisp & full-flavored on the finish, with hints of melon & grapefruit.

F. Johnson Vineyards, Chardonnay
Green apple, honeydew melon & lemon grass on the nose,  a combination of barrel & malo-lactic fermentation, with a slight creamy finish.

Russian River Valley Vineyards, Pinot Noir
My personal favorite, well rounded & easy to drink, with a dash of clove spice & cherry.

Four Grapes Vintage Port
Berry, caramel & toffee bouquet on the nose, with hints of raspberry, spice, & cream soda flavors on the palate. Rich & flavorful dessert wine
