Description:
"What kind of a grape is a Trinquer", our customer asked. Well, it isn't, I said. Then the customer asked, "Well, what kind of a fruit is it then?"
I took a deep breath and went on to explain, that Trinquer, is our proprietary blend of three wonderful white wine grapes - Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and Viognier and it is just perfect with our Northwest seafood. I had to explain what a "vignar" was, and finally just said, "Try it, I hope you like it". It was well received, and a smile and better conversation ensued.
The Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon came from our friend Fred Artz on Red Mountain where ripe pear and apple flavors flourish. The Viognier is from Crawford Family Vineyard in Prosser and has the classic aromatics of peach and apricot. Barrel fermented, the Viognier lends a wonderful depth to a classic wine combination already made famous in Bordeaux.
"Trinquer", means to clink glasses in French, and is pronounced sort of like "trank-kay". It reminds us of the celebration wine brings to any meal. Try it with seared scallops, oysters, shrimp, or halibut.
