Now This Is A Dog Lover…Dog Themed Wines!

WINE TALK

And there’s La Spinona in Barbaresco:

I dimly recall that the story there is that the dog saved some family member’s life.

My favorites are the Cuvée Busters.

I have organized two wine events – with the goal of raising funds for the Guide Dog Foundation – where all the wine in the tasting either had dogs on the label or dog names. It was easy to identify 20+ wines to fit the bill. La Spinona and Cuvee Buster were both in the lineup. :slight_smile:

Yes, plus the Clos Roche Blanche “Pif”.

Dale says he usually opens Edmunds St John Bassetti vineyard Syrah to celebrate his bassett hound’s birthday (I think it was the birthday - not positive). Not sure if that counts :slight_smile:

If our Pomeranian purchase goes through we might adopt a Pomerol tradition.

Mutt Lynch Winery is dog centric winery. Rosenblum use to have (and still may, idk) Chateau Le Paws red and white that a portion of the profits were (are?) donated to animal charities. FWIW Kent Rosenblum is a veterinarian.

Following up on our offline and Jay Miller’s post:
"Dale says he usually opens Edmunds St John Bassetti vineyard Syrah to celebrate his bassett hound’s birthday (I think it was the birthday - not positive). Not sure if that counts

I came up with some other possibilities for Dale’s dog Lucy and friends–invite a pug owner with a bottle from Puglia; a Saint Bernard with a wine from Bernardus, and a yorkie owner with a wine from the AVA of Yorkville Highlands (or for other forms of alcohol a Scottish terrier with a bottle of Scotch, etc.)

My favorite name of the St. Aubin 1er Crus: Les Murgers des Dents de Chien (rough translation: “The rocks of the Dog’s teeth”)

And a German one: Rudolf Fürst - Spätburgunder “Hundsrück” GG. “Hundsrück” is the name of the vineyard and means “dog’s back”
