Tuesday 10/27/15 working with Spanish Wine rep Brian then TACO TUESDAY!

Tuesday 10/27/15

Today I was working with a rep from
BUJANDA a Spanish Wine Company.

I was waiting for Brian at the Train Station.

First tasting was at Gypsy Blu in Ambler

Mike from Gypsy Blu gave ME a beer.
After we taste wine we talk beer.

Then we tasted at my newest account
Brick & Barrel in Maple Glen.

You can get Sangiovese, Pinot Noir & Tempranillo here!

we had lunch at Brick & Barrel and it was TASTY!

crab mac n cheese

mushroom truffle pizza YUM!

at KC Prime.
customer Antoni demonstrating his Corivan system.

It’s a wine preservation system.

ACCESS
When the Coravin System is in place, a thin hollow needle is inserted through the cork to extract the wine. You don’t need to remove the foil, or the cork, to access the wine.

PRESSURIZE & POUR
The bottle is then pressurized with Argon, an inert gas that’s in the air we breathe. Once the bottle has been pressurized, the wine flows through the needle and pours into your glass.

REMOVE
When the Coravin System and its needle are removed, the cork reseals itself. The remaining wine never comes in contact with oxygen, and continues to evolve naturally.

last tasting at Logan Inn in New Hope, PA

we decided in advance we were skipping volleyball
and going to the Pour House for dinner

Taco Tuesday!

ran into an old friend Mark.
Blast from the past!
