Join us for an evening of discovery as we explore six distinctive wines from California and France, traveling from crisp Sauvignon Blanc and classic Burgundy to Rhône Valley reds, Napa Cabernet and an expressive Alexander Valley Zinfandel.
This tasting is designed to showcase the remarkable range of character that can emerge from different grapes, regions and winemaking traditions. Whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or simply curious to discover something new, there’s something in this lineup to make the evening memorable.
Emmolo Sauvignon Blanc — California
Bright, fresh and beautifully expressive, Emmolo Sauvignon Blanc offers the kind of lively character that makes California Sauvignon Blanc so appealing. Expect refreshing citrus and orchard-fruit notes with a crisp, energetic finish. It’s an elegant way to begin our tasting journey.
Perrusset Mâcon-Villages “Terroir de Farges Vieilles Vignes” — Burgundy, France
This white Burgundy brings the unmistakable charm of Chardonnay grown in the Mâconnais. From old vines, it offers added depth and concentration while retaining the freshness that makes Burgundy so compelling. A wonderful opportunity to experience the character of French terroir in the glass.
Guigal Côtes du Rhône — Rhône Valley, France
A classic Rhône Valley red with generous fruit, spice and the savory character associated with the region. It’s approachable and beautifully balanced, making it a terrific example of why Côtes du Rhône remains such a beloved style. A wine with plenty of personality without being overly heavy.
Trefethen “Eshcol” Red Blend — Napa Valley, California
This Napa Valley red blend brings together ripe fruit and polished structure in a wine that’s both inviting and food-friendly. Richer flavors are balanced by freshness and smooth tannins. It’s a great expression of Napa’s ability to produce sophisticated, versatile red wines.
Marietta “Angeli” Zinfandel — Alexander Valley, California
From Alexander Valley, this Zinfandel showcases the generous, flavorful side of California wine. Expect ripe fruit, spice and depth, with the lively personality that makes Zinfandel such a fun grape to explore. It’s a wine that invites another sip—and perhaps another bite.
Robert Craig Cabernet Sauvignon — Howell Mountain, Napa Valley, California
We finish with a classic Napa Cabernet from the elevated vineyards of Howell Mountain. Known for producing structured, age-worthy Cabernet, Howell Mountain brings intensity, concentration and impressive depth. This is a powerful and polished finale to our tasting journey.
No wine evening at Historic Toxaway Market is complete without something delicious to enjoy alongside the wines. We’ll be serving a curated selection of hors d’oeuvres thoughtfully chosen to complement the tasting, with savory, flavorful bites designed to bring out different qualities in each wine.
