Su Hua Newton, Newton Vineyard

“A 1990 Guigal Hermitage. It was out of this world. It had an absolutely unforgettable smell. When I picked up the glass and swirled the wine, the first thing I thought of was wild strawberries. They are absolutely the most wonderful fruit you can have. It was an immediate response. Then when I put the wine in my mouth, it was velvety and beautiful and rich. It lingered in my mouth 1 1/2 minutes. I actually looked at my watch. . . . It was wonderful.”
