HUMMINGBIRD RIDGE WINERY - "WINE POURS"
AUGUST 2010 NEWSLETTER
In This Issue: Cooling Down; Holy Flying Pordevino, Batman!; Get Your Logo Glasses; Going for the Record is Fully Reserved; Recipe of the Month; Tasting Tip of the Month; 2 for 22; HRW Wine On The GoWow!!! July really brought the heat this year! Nothing like some cold Hummingbird Ridge wine to cool you down! And our new A/C system in the winery will keep you cool when you stop in for a tasting or to sip on a cool glass of Hummingbird Ridge wine!
Our new Port-style red wine, which is called PORDEVINO (we can't call it Port because "Port" is an internationally trademarked name), is flying off the shelves!!! Thank You to everyone who has come in to taste it and purchase it! Pordevino is truly a delicious treat for your tastebuds. And we hope to have Pordevino’s sister wine, PORDEBLANCO (port-style white wine) released this month. PORDEBLANCO is a white port-style wine made from the Riesling grape with layers of citrus flavors like lemon and tangerine for a truly unique and delicious fortified wine.
- Our new Hummingbird Ridge Winery Logo regular and stemless Wine Glasses seem to be a big hit with customers and they are very affordable at $3.95 for stemmed glasses and $4.95 for our unique stemless glasses (which are great for serving our port-style wines).
- Also, we are completely reserved for the August 14th attempt by PA wineries to break the Guinness World Record for the World's Largest Wine Toast. Pennsylvania wineries will attempt to break this record by simultaneously doing a toast on August 14th. We will be open from 11am to 2pm on Saturday, August 14th, but we will be closed from 2pm on for the toast as we are already at full capacity and can not accept any more reservations.
- Recipe of the Month: Over this hot summer, we have been serving our own White Sangria, featuring our "Hummingbird White" wine. It's easy and refreshing!
Pour 1 bottle of Hummingbird White into a pitcher. Cut 1 lemon, 1 lime, and 1 orange into wedges and add to the wine. Just before serving (so that it doesn't go flat), add 2 cups of lemon-lime soda (Sprite, 7up, etc.) to the pitcher. Stir, Pour into ice-filled glasses, top with a sprig of mint, and Enjoy!!!!! Don't be afraid to experiment by adding other fruit or a little sugar if you like it sweeter. Actually, my favorite part is eating the wine-soaked fruit when the Sangria is all gone!!!
- Winetasting Tip of the Month: To take your winetasting experience to a whole new level, learn the Slurp Method that professional wine judges use. When tasting wine, slurp a small amount through your lips and teeth. Then re-slurp (is that even a word?) the sip through your lips and teeth several times. This opens up the wine and allows the flavors to come alive. It takes a little bit of practice, and you'll probably have wine drooled all over yourself (and others) on the first couple of tries, but it really opens up the flavors!
