Twitter, an Excuse for a Wine Tasting Party

People are finding many uses for Twitter, among them a wine tasting. On March 4th 2010, people from around the world are going to tweet about Sauvignon Blancs made anywhere in the world. What a perfect excuse for a wine tasting party. Sauvignon Blanc is a grape that can be made into wine with different tasting profiles. The recipe for this wine tasting party is to select a few Sauvignon Blancs, make a few appetizers and have some friends over. Every now and then, people can tweet.

I had a bottle of Sweet Surrender a late harvest Sauvignon Blanc from Keyways Vineyard & Winery in Temecula. I’m going to pair this wine with a honey, walnut baked Brie. The honey on the Brie should match with the honey nuances from this late harvest Sauvignon Blanc. I believe the grapes for this wine were sourced from Washington.

For my other selections, we went to the Wine Bin in Ellicott City, Maryland to purchase some other Sauvignon Blancs. A 2007 Domaine du Tremblay Quincy will represent the Loire Valley, in France. I plan to match this wine with an avocado based dip. Two wines will pair with a smoked salmon and goat cheese appetizer. A 2008 Culley Sauvignon Blanc is from the Marlborough region of New Zealand. A Honig Sauvignon Blanc is from Napa Valley, California.

The wines are ready, now its time to work on gathering the ingredients for the appetizers.
