This past weekend was the quarterly open house held by Rosenblum Cellars<\/a> in Alameda.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThe building ain’t glam, but the wine sure is! <\/em>
\nI wound up going despite the flakiness of two ppl I asked along (like they’re getting a wine-related invite next time!). Got comped lah! Tasting of 20+ wines, snacky foods and a Riedel wine glass. Whatta bargain!
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nBesides this healthy spread, there were snausages, satay and white castle type burgers. And Zinfindel ice cream!<\/em>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nRiedel Glasses for tasting! <\/em>
\nThe tasting was held both inside the winery and outside in the parking lot. Despite an unseasonal rain (which kept a lot of people inside, wimps!), the crowd was managable and an atmosphere of “chill” in addition to a lot of “smug” made the event a good one. There was a lot of wine!
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThere’s a lotta wine in those tanks & barrels…<\/em>
\nNaturally, after tasting and eating for three hours, there was another place to visit. Hangar One<\/a>, a boutique vodka label that makes its wares in a hanger in the old Alameda Naval Air Station (where they keep dee nu-clear wessels<\/a>). Great vodka, even though it’s a bit pricey.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThis is what they distill vodka with<\/em>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd this is how they display it! <\/em>
\nI tried some tea infused vodka called Q1. It was like the kind of tea you want at 0200 after you get kicked out of the bars for last call…
\nHere’s a shot of The City from Alameda in the rain. Wah!
