Food Science 470 Food Science 470 Christian BUTZKE Professor of Enology Department of Food Science Wine: A Definition “Wine” signifies the juice of grapes fermented by yeast and finished into an alcoholic beverage. Wines made from other fruits must be specifically labeled as such, e.g., “apple wine” or “cherry wine”. So You Wannabe A Winemaker? The wine business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long-stemmed hallway where thieves and pimps run free and the weak die like dogs ... Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, modified Introduction “Wine is far more than just a commodity or just a food. It contributes to sophisticated dining, enhances and facilitates social interaction; challenges the senses and the intellect, and makes glad the heart of the moderate and well-balanced man or woman.” Prof. Vernon L.

    Autumn 2021 Tasting Notes 2015 Aglianico Gold | Platinum 2015 Barbera Gold Platinum 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Gold | Platinum 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Concierge 2014 Carignane Platinum 2014 Malbec Gold Concierge 2015 Merlot Concierge 2015 Petite Sirah Gold | Platinum 2017 Syrah Concierge The busy season is here... As autumn approaches, we’re keeping an eye on the ripening grapes while preparing to bottle the remainder of the 2019 vintage, and thus make room in the cellar for the new wines to come. The general buzz on the grapevine (pun intended!) is that this vintage will be a bit ear- lier than usual, and that vineyard yields will be less than average. So much comes down to the last month or so of ripening in the vineyard, and we’re just entering that time as this goes to print. Fingers crossed, for an excellent, and “uneventful” harvest! With gratitude and appreciation for our wine club friends, all of us at Amphora Winery wish you a wonderful autumn, and CHEERS! Our 2015 Aglianico (pronounced ah-YAH-nee-koh) was our second vintage to spend time aging in our terracotta amphorae, and the influence of the clay lends an old-world profile to this wine: bracing yet gentle tannins, a clean minerality, and subtle red fruit notes. The character of this varietal works well with the clay influence, and makes for a food-friendly wine. This one will age elegantly for years, and if you plan to enjoy it in the short-term, be sure to decant it. Delightful pairings include cacio e pepe, and grill roasted lamb with rosemary and garlic.

  • Glen Carlou Syrah 2010
    Glen Carlou Syrah 2010 Our 2010 Grand Classique exhibits intense dark cherry red with purple hues to the eye; well integrated cassis and blackberry fruits with slight spicy hints of cinnamon. The ripe and concentrated briary fruit, cherry and cocoa flavours on the palate of this rich and well balanced wine has a long finish which is balanced by fine tannins and a harmonious acidity. The ideal red wine to lie down in your cellar for up to 10 years whereby you will be richly rewarded. You say Shiraz, I say Syrah - it's the same grape none-the-less. In France it is known and grown as Syrah, and responsible for some of the Northern Rhone's big, bold red wines. However, in Australia and South Africa it goes by Shiraz. DNA profiling in 1999 found Syrah to be the offspring of two obscure grapes from southeastern France, Dureza and Mondeuse blanche. Syrah should not be confused with Petite Sirah, a synonym for Durif, a cross of Syrah with Peloursin dating from 1880. Our favourite pairing at the moment is pan seared Venison Loin with potato rosti, pomegranate jus, bacon panna cotta and squash puree variety : Shiraz | 94% Syrah, 6% Mourvèdre winery : Glen Carlou Vineyards winemaker : Arco Laarman wine of origin : Paarl analysis : alc : 14.5 % vol rs : 2.2 g/l pH : 3.6 ta : 5.6 g/l type : Red style : Dry wooded pack : Bottle closure : Cork ageing : Optimum drinkability: 2013 to 2021 in the vineyard : Our Syrah vines are in the very warm region situated around the picturesque town of Paarl without the cooling sea breezes of some of the other quality areas but with uniqueness that makes it very popular.

  • We Are Thankful for Wine
    NOVEMBER 2019 TASaT Wine entINGHusiast’s MontHLY JourneyMON tHrouGH Monterey’s WineT COUNTRYEREY We are for Wine As we gather around the dinner table this Thanksgiving, A Taste of Monterey club members have at least one thing in common that we are thankful for -- wine! We can be honest in saying STORE HOURS Thankful sometimes just one glass can help with the chaos that surrounds this family-driven holiday. This leaves us with a very important A Taste of Monterey question, what wine will pair best with your Thanksgiving Cannery Row spread from the turkey, to cranberry sauce, to pumpkin pie? Sun-Thu 11am-7pm For white wine lovers, varietals such as Gewurztraminer and Fri-Sat 11am-6m* Riesling pair well with the many flavors brought to the dinner table. The sweet characteristics of a Gewurztraminer go well Food service begins at with a flavorful turkey and gravy. In addition, this wine will pair with a spiced pumpkin pie or decadent cheesecake. While 11:30am daily Riesling can be sweet or dry, this varietal leaves room for excellent pairings with anything spicy, salty, or sweet. We recommend Joyce Riesling for dry lovers and Roku for sweet. *No new member tastings For those who would rather sip on red wine, a Pinot Noir will pair best with all the delicious food you are going to consume, after 6pm and what better Pinot Noir than one sourced from Monterey County? Pinot Noir’s light, earthy, and mostly fruit driven characteristics tend to pair best with turkey and an herb infused stuffing. We suggest trying the light and fruity Garnet Point Noir or the complex minerality of Metz Road to take with you to your gathering.
