Description

Join us for a lunch & learn wine tasting with owner & founder of Mystory wines, Alexei Khimenko , and 4 incredible wines from Paso Robles. Join us for this lunch and learn as we sample wines with the MyStory founder, Alexei Khimenko. Alex's story is equally as profound and interesting as his wines. A professional ballet dancer turned wine wholesaler who was born and raised in Moscow, Russia. Alexei’s touring career brought him to the United States where he worked with multiple ballet companies before retiring as a principal dancer following 12 successful years. What we will be sampling of the MyStory Wine: Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles, 2017) : Intense aromas of red plum, tart cherry and dark chocolate with wisps of allspice are complimented by a background of subtle oak. Rich flavors with layers of large, soft tannins interlocking with complex oak tannins for a long, elegant finish. Chardonnay (Paso Robles, 2019): Aromas of ripe pear are intertwined with elusive hints of butterscotch in the background. Rich, silky mouthfeel from completion of malo-lactic fermentation and 4 months of passive lees contact culminates with a long, rich, enticing finish. Red Blend №1 (Paso Robles, 2017): Delicious! Complex, exciting aromas are created by multi-varietal blending. Hints of ripe plums, blackberries and fresh ground white pepper are all elevated by the addition of viognier in the blend. Flavors are extended and full with layers of intense, rich tannins coupled with layers of oak. The finish is rich and complex which enables additional aging. Rose (Paso Robles, 2020): Enticing aromas of wild strawberries and lavender predominate with some subtle hints of honeysuckle in the background. This wine has a wonderfully rich, supple mid-palate followed by a clean, crisp finish. You will also enjoy light lunch bites prepared by our culinary director, Craig Khuns.
