What makes a wine beautiful?
To The Black Olive all of this is important as we strive to build the best wine list the Mid-Atlantic has ever seen! Follow us as we reach for that goal.
Palazzo 2007 Cabernet Franc
Last night we tried a great wine, by winemaker Scott Palazzo. The ‘07 Cabernet Franc, which tastes amazing, and has an ultra-low production run. It won’t be around for long, because it drinks beautifully and is reasonably priced. It is very French influenced, but prices much lower than a Bordeaux wine of similar quality. We drank it with Black Olive fish soup, and it held up to the soup and the conversation, both of which were intense. The soup is now famous, it is based on the recipe passed down through the women of
the Spiliadis family, and it is spicy and best when made with Scorpio fish, which is currently in season and being used for the stock. The conversation was about the Inn at the Black Olive, currently under construction. It will be one of the greenest, most high performance buildings in the World. The press conference is tomorrow, announcing many of the cool things that will be happening around the Inn and the business in the upcoming year. Stay tuned, and grab a Palozza while they are still around.
