Bocce and Sokol Blosser Wine
Well, I tried something new from Sokol Blosser the other day and I found it very blog-worthy. This year, Russ Rosner, our Winemaker, tasted one of the components originally slated to go into our beloved Evolution and thought that it was something special. So, not only did this surprising juice help make Evolution what we all know and love, but Russ decided show some of this special stuff off by itself.
So for the first time that I know of, Sokol Blosser bottled an Early Muscat. Early Muscat is a type of grape that for me has wonderful aromatics of tropical fruit, true grape flavors in the mouth with some nice weight to it. Sokol Blosser’s Early Muscat 2007 (available in our Tasting Room; if you're interested in getting a bottle, call us!) is a nice refreshing glass of white wine that wakes up your taste buds and gets your nose and brain thinking. Cheryl and Rick Proulx, my wife Susan and I tried out a bottle while playing a spirited game of bocce. Sokol Blosser Early Muscat and bocce a nice combination.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention, the guys beat the girls in bocce with a come from behind victory! Sokol Blosser Early Muscat inspired no doubt.
