French Oak

Alvento Winery in Jordan had a fabulous open house last weekend. They had 8 different wines to try and 2 barrel samples. Included in the tasting was a 2006 Nebbiolo. This is only the second winery in Niagara to produce this wine. There was some wonderful food prepared by Chef Erik Peacock of Wellington Court Restaurant. The above shows a portion of a French Oak Wine Barrel used by Alvento.
