Jonathan Edwards Wine Tasting at The Wine Store

This is the third wine tasting that we have been to at The Wine Store in Westerly, Rhode Island. On this evening, James Morrison featured the wines from Jonathan Edwards Winery with the help of Susan Denice, in charge of Rhode Island sales. The evening began with Susan pouring us a taste of Gewurztraminer grown at Jonathan Edwards. She mentioned that the Gewurztraminer was being picked on Wednesday with a crew of about 40 volunteers. Susan had a library tasting in store for us with Connecticut Chardonnay and Napa Valley Zinfandel. The Chardonnay are all made in the same way, part fermented in oak barrels and part fermented in stainless steel and then blended. We tasted vintages 2011, 2009 and 2007. The Napa Valley Zinfandel is grown specifically for Jonathan Edwards and the west coast operation is managed by Jonathan's father, Robert Edwards. Robert is in charge of ensuring that the grapes are ready for harvest.
