Noisy Water Winery

Featuring Tanis and her favorite wine

Today we are shining the spotlight on Tanis, a face you'll see regularly at the Noisy Water Winery tasting room in Ruidoso, NM and at Enchated Vine in Alto! 2016 Curtain Call is her favorite because this blend consists of all her favorite varietals (30% Malbec, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 10% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah, and 10% Petit Verdot).

Now that's what we call a show stopper!

Tanis loves to pair the 2016 Curtain Call with asiago cheese or a nice steak since it has similar and complimenting flavor profiles to red meats and nutty cheeses! Tanis enjoys the vanilla and blackberry notes of this dry red as well as the smooth and unique finish. She and her friends love sit back and hang out while they share a bottle.

Inspiration:

Making an international award-winning, show-closing blend where each varietal takes a bow: 30% Malbec, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 10% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah, and 10% Petit Verdot. 

Taste:

Vanilla and black cherry on the nose, working into hints of pitted fruit and blackberries. Finishes bone dry and silky-smooth. A full bodied Bordeaux-style red blend using the finest grapes in the state; a must-try for all wine connoisseurs. 

Pairing:

Pair this with performing arts, or any reason for a Curtain Call.

Featuring Lily

And Her Favorite Wine

Meet Lily, a face you'll see regularly at the Noisy Water Winery tasting room in Cloudcroft, NM! Lily's  favorite wine is the 2019 Gewürztraminer, not only because it's delicious but its origins and rich history. Alsace is a historical region in northeastern France and this wine has been produced in this region for hundreds of years! You can taste the love and dedication in it.

She also has a special place in her heart for this wine because it was the first wine she tasted in her introductory sommelier course to work for Noisy Water Winery.

Lily loves to pair the 2019 Gewürztraminer with the Spicy Tuna Udon Bowl from a local restaurant in Cloudcroft, New Mexico. Gewürztraminers are known for having subtly sweet and spicy notes and the best pairings happen with this wine when you step outside of traditional French cuisine and experience other foods of the world.

Inspiration:

Modern winemaking: Showcasing the spicy and sweet notes of this varietal, along with a hat tip to one of the world's favorite wines.

Taste:

Nose of peaches, lavender, and cinnamon.  Perfectly sweet meets delicate, mulling spices on the first sip, with a gorgeously sweet orchard finish.
