Cassiday Blare
California
A fun, fruity, 92 Point, two time Silver medal winning Cuvee with hints of complexity and an incredible intensity
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Cassiday Blare
Red Blend
An infamous bootlegger, George Cassiday is notable for providing alcohol for most of the United States Congress during a decade of prohibition. Near the end of his “career” as an illicit alcohol salesman, he decided to write a tell-all in six front page articles for the Washington Post shedding light on the fact that the highest elected officials were regularly breaking the law. Needless to say, it was controversial. This wine, the Cuvee Claudette (named for Claudette Colbert, the original flapper), is as complex as navigating Prohibition. With extraordinary berry notes and a fresh fruit intensity that is framed by a mature structure, we just can’t get enough of this wine. The blend of fruit, herbs, and vanilla make this a wine that we love pairing with food. Try it with a Margarita pizza, grilled lamb sausage, or roasted venison or pork. Judges love it too! It's a 92 Point, Silver me ...

WINE REGION:
California
California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Cassiday Blare
The Prohibition Era was an interesting time made all the more captivating by men like George Cassiday. Supplying most of the occupants of Capitol Hill with their “liquid pleasures,” Cassiday cast a wide light on the archaic law by writing a series of articles published by the Washington Post in 1930 about his illegal ventures. Not long after, the law was overturned, and for all of us at Cassiday Blare, we tip our hat to you, sir!
