Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille (5 Oakbrook Center, Oak Brook, IL 60523; 630-571-1808) is helping guests experience The Art of the Blend, this fall, by offering a special red blend wine tasting flight for just $26. The flight will be available during the month of September and features three, 2-ounce pours of different Rodney Strong Red Blend wines: the 2014 Symmetry Meritage Red Wine, 2015 Rowen Red Wine and 2015 Upshot Red Wine Blend.
Carefully selected by Perry’s Corporate Sommelier and Beverage Director Susi Zivanovic, the flight promises to provide new insight and a better understanding into the nuances of red blends for both wine connoisseurs and novices alike.
“Think of a red blend as a designer wine,” says Zivanovic. “Wine-making becomes a process of understanding and balancing the characteristics of each grape to best complement one another—an effort which results in a strikingly complex and uniquely individual wine.”
Blending grape varietals has been practiced in most major wine growing regions for centuries. Understanding the components of a red blend further enhances the drinking experience, which is why Perry’s is pleased to provide this tasting opportunity and carefully selected flight.
