The Wine Cabinet
 
 
 

Dear Subscriber

 

 

Today, 6 August 2020 

It"s National IPA Day celebrating the beer known as India Pale Ale Beer.
We have quite a selection at

The Wine Cabinet!!

While the IPA is one of the most popular types of craft beers, it’s also making a resurgence with local microbreweries.
Many are experiencing success as their brew finds its way into local restaurants and pubs.
The IPA seems to have developed out of an idea from the 1700s.
When shipping ale to India, adding hops to the beer increased the longevity of the brew.
Brewers thought that hops preserved the beer for long voyages to hot climates.
One London brewer gained attention for his ability to brew this particular style of beer.
George Hodgson shipped many casks of pale ales to India from London.
However, no one knows for sure when or who coined the name India Pale Ale.
Brewers ferment barley to make India Pale Ales.
Depending on the length of fermentation, the tannins may cause some bitterness in the beer, even after adding the hops.
While IPAs have a reputation of being bitter and hoppy, not all are. They also tend to be crisper than other beers.

93 Points The Wine Enthusiast
Editors" Choice April 2020
“This wine delivers loads of Paso Robles richness at a fair price, starting with lush aromas of black cherry, caramel and mocha cream. 
The palate starts soft and inviting, with more cherry and caramel, then firms up with tighter tannins and penetrating acidity “



Our Thoughts on this wine....
Red garnet color, the 2017 vintage presents aromas of cassis, blueberry, cedar, and anise, with hints of black olives and juniper berry. 
Full-bodied with flavors of cassis and blueberry, licorice notes, chewy and chalky tannins. 
Pair it with a grilled Portobello mushroom, Ribeye Steak 
or for a unique pairing - Cabernet Braised Short Ribs

The Vina Robles Story

“I want Vina Robles to express a unique balance of European heritage and American opportunity. As individuals, we are rooted in the Old World. As viticulturists and winemakers, we are empowered by the New World.” - Founder Hans Nef
 Vina Robles is the result of a unique personal trajectory, one that led founder Hans Nef from a rural village outside Zurich, Switzerland to the rugged terrain of California’s Central Coast.
 As a child in Switzerland, Nef learned to appreciate his rural surroundings and the blessings of agriculture. It was this special appreciation that lead him to expand his interests into agricultural land in the southern United States in the early 1990s. At the same time, he leveraged his passion for fine wine into his own wine import business, furthering his appreciation for California wines.
 
Each time Nef traveled to the U.S., his desire to grow his own wine became more intense. He discovered Paso Robles in the mid-1990s and quickly became enamored with the emergent wine country. Here, where the Pacific coastline unfolds into rugged ranchlands and cowboy ambiance, a new generation of California winemakers was turning Paso Robles into one of the world’s most dynamic winegrowing regions.
 Nef was inspired to embark on his own idea for a Paso Robles winery, one that would honor his European roots while embracing the unique growing region in order to pursue his dream of producing world-class wines.
 In 1996 Nef selected longtime friend and business associate Hans – R. Michel, a Swiss expatriate, as managing partner. A year later, the duo planted the first of what would later become six vineyards in Paso Robles, and soon thereafter Vina Robles was born. Winemaker Kevin Willenborg joined the team in 2012.
