On Saturday, Oct. 15 from 2 to 4 p.m. Soif Wine Shop<\/a> \u2013 connected to Soif Restaurant<\/a> \u2013 is hosting Count Michael Go\u00ebss-Enzenberg, the proprietor of Italian estate Manincor, for a tasting event. The cost is $20 which includes wine and snacks. Reservations are required; email alyssa@soifwine.com<\/a> to reserve a seat.<\/p>\n

The property Manincor, in Italy’s Alto Adige, is a 400-year-old estate founded by Hieronymous Manincor in 1608.\u00a0 Manincor comprises a single estate of vineyards, orchards, meadows and woodlands which are \u201cDemeter certified Bio-dynamic as a single entity,\u201d says Soif Wine\u2019s John Locke.\u00a0\u201cIt is one of the most interesting estates we have ever had the pleasure of dealing with.\u00a0 Manincor has won numerous awards for their wines as well as their special prowess in sustainable environmental practices.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guests will taste the following wines:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

2013 Manincor “Contessa Bianco” Pinot Blanc\/Chardonnay\/Sauvignon Blanc<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>2014 Manincor “Eichorn” Pinot Bianco<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>2015 Manincor “Kelterersee Keil” Schiava<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>2016 Manincor “Mason” Pinot Nero\u00a0<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>2012 Manincor “Rubatsch” Lagrein<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>2013 Manincor “Conte Rosso” Lagrein\/Merlot\/Cabernet Sauvignon<\/strong><\/p>\n

Go\u00ebss-Enzenberg has administered the property since 1991. At Manincor, hens and sheep graze through the vineyards. Teas, infusions and other herbal remedies are produced from plants grown on the property. A skin care product line, recently started being produced, is principally derived from sap which drips from vines\u2019 wounds after pruning. The new underground cellar is naturally insulated by the soil. No fuel oil or natural gas are required for heating. \u201cIn short, Manincor is virtually without equal with regards to their environmental practices,\u201d says Locke.\u00a0\u201cAll of which would be admirable though irrelevant for our purposes, if the wines were not interesting. They are outstanding. The wines reveal a style we greatly appreciate – bell tone clarity, elegance, great complexity, persistence and a high high level of deliciosity. They are exceptional.\u201d<\/p>\n
