Three Wines, Six Hours Later. Part 1.




Forage into Organic Wine
Ever had a Cliff Bar? Ever taste its grain goodness? Oatmeal, soy, the general organic mish mesh of brownies or peanut butter, and nuts of all kinds? Ever have a Luna Bar? I live off those things. Candy bars with vitamins right? Well those Cliff Climber Lunatic Nuts also have a wine. (I know! I just found out too!)
I love white wine, so nach I chose
The Climber vin 2007. Now I like my wine, but I’m not a fancy Sommelier, and don’t know the protocol or the verbage the wine tasters of the word use to talk about wine. The best I do is write it all down in a book I keep close by on wine tasting nights. Bear with me. If you would like to hear what Cliff says about it, click the above link before you are horrified by my description.
Non-snobs who are still reading… this is definitely for you. There is nothing snobby about this wine. It’s exactly the same flavorful experience you get with the bars. It more like Raisins meet Grape peels. Definitely on first sniff and sip you are tasting clean air, fresh oatmeal cooked slow, and next time I go climb say Mount Tom in Western Mass, or Mt Washington… I’m sneaking this up the mountain. Prolly go for the red wine for mountain top. Food takes you places. Why shouldn’t I return the favor. I feel like this wine should be experienced under the stars. It’s definitely crisp like a New England Fall night, clear, full of crickets and wind blowing through trees with a fire and a few of your best outdoorsy, don’t care if you washed your hair today friends. And it’s blended from four different varietals, so it’s already used to good company, and I bet it would love your company. Highly recommend.
