Quick Guide to Cincinnati Wine Festival

Michelle will stop by later to give you our full review, but I wanted to point out a few of the standouts from our time there yesterday.

Fernleaf Sauvignon Blanc from Baron Phillipe de Rothschild (Booth 29)

LaFond & Santa Barbara Winery (Booth 25)

The entire Handley estates selection (Booth 15)

If you are curious about French wines, please stop by Chamarre Wines (Booth 113) for a taste of slightly different Bordeaux style wines they are producing.

If you have never tried the fun wines from Three Thieves (Booth 42), I recommend stopping by to see that some very nice wines are being produced in alternate packaging.

Michelle really liked the Chocolate Amore from Trentadue Winery (Booth 139) as well as the Granache-Merlot blend available at Pennsive Concepts (Booth 136).

I enjoyed the Russian River Select Pinot Noir from Rodney Strong (Booth 51).

Don’t forget to have some sparkling wine now and then. It’s a fantastic way to clear your palate. Also, if you can, swish your glass out with wine instead of water.

What did we miss? Any other suggestions for those going on Saturday?

   Would anyone be interested in two discounted tickets to the Cincinnati wine tasting festival?
