Del Goes to Boston

It's only fitting that wine tastings begin in the Spring. Warmer weather makes us thirsty for good juice. My first tasting of the spring was on March 19th in Boston. It was a Spring Portfolio Tasting featuring Eric Solomon Selections & Jon-David Headrick Selections presented by M.S. Walker. Even though the outside was gray & rainy, the inside was alive with great wines.
The Headrick selection included small -production, artisinal wines primarily from the Loire Valley of France. Many of the winemakers were present to discuss their wines making for a very intimate event.
The Eric Solomon Portfolio represents eighty producers representing classic and emerging wines. The Boston tasting featured a variety of French white and red varietals There was also a good showing of Spanish white wines. In addition, there was another 75 Spanish & Portuguese
red wines to taste.
Of course, one cannot taste from every bottle, but I did my best. Several of the wines I tasted will make their appearance on the Atlantica wine list once they make it into the country.
