Rasa Vineyards Wine Dinner
Thursday, April 14th at 6:30pm
Getting bitten by the wine bug can change your life, or at least your career plans. Born in India and raised in New Jersey, brothers Pinto and Billo Naravane became fascinated by wine early, but continued to work in the computer industry for many years. Then Billo decided to study viticulture and enology at UC Davis. The Naravanes founded Rasa Vineyards in Walla Walla in 2007, the name coming from a Sanskrit word meaning “essence” and “juice”, to indicate their focus on producing terroir-driven, site-expressive wines.
Please join us as Pinto introduces five of the Naravane’s beautiful wines: a dryish, aromatic riesling; a minerally, dark-fruited syrah-cabernet blend; an elegant, spicy wine crafted from Rhône varietals; a fascinatingly floral, savory and long-finished mourvèdre; and a classic Bordeaux blend, concentrated and balanced.
