SUMMARY:How to pair Dessert and Wine at Little Washington Winery
DESCRIPTION:Let’s address the impossible pairing! Experts say dessert and wine cannot possibly be put into your mouth at the same time. Technically they are right – better be careful\, some of these flavors are in definite conflict! Wine enhances taste\, creating an entirely new flavor profile. Desserts are no different. Making the perfect dessert and wine pairing can be an incredible way to end a memorable evening. You may be hard pressed to find anyone upset with the wrong wine & dessert pairing (it IS wine and it IS dessert after all). This tasting will show you how to get a perfect pairing every time!

SUMMARY:Slovenian Wine Country-Location Location Location\, at Little Washington Winery
DESCRIPTION:Holy Moli — Let’s go — just look at this trip right here! Slovenia is right next to Austria\, Italy\, Hungary\, Croatia — what a wine tour! Most Slovenian wine production falls under the classification of premium. Viticulture and winemaking has existed in this region since the time of the Celt and Illyrian tribes\, long before the Romans introduced winemaking to France\, Spain and Germany. A 2016 DNA study showed that two red grape varietals\, Blaufränkisch and Blauer Portugieser\, originated in Slovenia.
