Girls night included a delicious dinner made by Jenn (I️ actually didn’t cook a thing which was totally a delightful change of pace 😍), card games, wine and THIS wine which was another delightful change of pace. @amarone_della_valpolicella @pasquawines #amarone is made with the Appassimento Process. This Italian term means that the grapes are harvested and dried for several weeks allowing the fruit to develop unique flavor characteristics before crushing and fermentation. While big and bold, it’s also well rounded and, to me, was easier to drink than a Cabernet, for instance. Of course, the process is done a bit differently now than it was 3,000 years ago, but there’s definitely an obvious reason as to how and why it is still being used. . . . . . . #caskandcru #crupnw #dinnerwine #girlsnight#gamenight #pieface #italianwine #italianwinelover #amareno #appassimento #wineharvest #wine #winestagram #wineoclock #redwine #sommelier #pasqua #pinotlover #pinotnoir #italy #winetime #winetasting #winepairing #foodpairing (at Vancouver, Washington)
