A classic example of a wine bouquet is the smell of vanilla, which usually comes from aging wine in new oak barrels.Mentions: Sam Lange, Beverly’s Restaurant, Jenny and David Somera, Brenda and Matt Sparkman, Drink Washington State, Mumm, Frichette, Sara Wilson, Bottle Joy, Coeur D’alene FRESH Wine Bar, Candle in the Woods, Vicino Pizza, Naomi Boutz, Flame and Cork, Fire, Wine Text.Check out episodes 055, 095, 113, 114 and 129.Wines we enjoyed this week: Maryhill Winemaker’s Red, Elsom Cellars Syrah and a 2013 Lake Coeur d’Alene Red Wine.Please find us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/WineTimeFridays), Twitter (@VintageTweets) and Instagram (@WineTimeFridays).
