Among the wines we tasted at the Blackstock Vineyards Wine Tasting event was the 2007 Blackstock Bulldog Blush. This is an unusual blush wine made from the Toriga grape, and is a more purplish color than the pink you normally see in wines of this nature...
We had a wonderful time this past Sunday at the Blackstock Vineyards, where we had a tour and tasting conducted by David Harris, owner and winemaker. We had the opportunity to sample ten different wines, including some of the winery's very best reserve wines. We had a good turnout with great weather, and if you could not attend, I encourage you to visit the winery when you can.
Among the wines we tasted was the 2007 Blackstock Bulldog Blush. This is an unusual blush wine made from the Toriga grape, and is a more purplish color than the pink you normally see in wines of this nature. The flavor is light and somewhat jammy, with an off dry finish, and is not as sweet as most of the wines in this category. I found it to be delightfully refreshing!
This is the perfect choice for your tailgate party, as it will be great with cold fried chicken, barbecue, and sandwiches. Supplies are somewhat limited, so we will be happy to reserve six bottles or more for you.
