Having just returned from my 1st International Wine Bloggers Conference, sharing sips, bites and chats with an intimate, esteemed group of wine makers, distributors, and fellow publishers and bloggers, WINE is very much on my mind. For 4 days and 3 nights spent mostly in the OMNI Charlottesville,, in 115 degree 'real feel' I was in a vino paradise. I met many fellow lovers of the Sip & Bite from all over the world. I am excited to announce that next year, the location is Portland Oregon.
Hey, you know, WINE is ALWAYS forefront in my mind! So news has come in that Fleming’s has an exclusive Sip-let's Peek:
Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar will have the exclusive release of Silver Oak Cellar’s 2007 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon on Saturday, August 6. Through the Fleming’s Icon Wine program, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy a bottle of special wine at a very special price. The 2007 Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon will be available for $100 per bottle (normal list price of $150 - $175) until September 30—or until inventory runs out. Coinciding with Silver Oak Cellar’s official release, Fleming’s will have exclusivity on this wine for approximately one week.
The 2007 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a profound, fruit-driven wine from a classic California vintage. It has a dark ruby color with a purple edge and an inviting nose of ripe black plum, blackberry, and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is rich and full, reminiscent of the flavors of a berry cobbler. It has a long, fruity finish with fine-grained tannins, and is a testament to exquisite ripeness at moderate alcohol. With proper cellaring, this wine should give drinking pleasure through 2031.
The 2007 Silver Oak Alexander Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and a blend of wine from several different vineyards. They achieved a balance of the wine’s natural elements by blending prior to barreling. Aged exclusively in American Oak for 25 months and an additional 15 months in bottle, the 2007 vintage has been cellared under ideal conditions, resulting in the inviting softness and texture of an aged wine.
Fleming’s offers 100 wines by the glass, a unique Wine Flight tasting program and a world-class list of reserve wines to complement guest’s dining experience.Each wine is available by the taste, flight or bottle.
