The Bodega at Felice will be introducing the the new Fat Barrel wines of South Africa to Louisville at a special free Trolley Hop tasting on Friday.
These wines are great expressions of South Africa that are very reasonably priced and purchases of the wine support regional charities!
The Bodega at Felice will also be offering live music, full menu and staying open late. This means you can taste the wines and purchase some bottles that you can enjoy there on site while listening to music and sampling their menu. And you can also grab some bottles at the end of the evening for home enjoyment.

Fat Barrel Sauvignon Blanc South Africa 2009. Grade=Outstanding. A soft, supple, well-rounded SB that shows off more Loire leanings than New Zealand, with lime, gooseberry and guava characters, nice minerality and a clean, refreshing finish.
Fat Barrel Chenin Blanc South Africa 2009. Grade=Outstanding+. A delicious, Loire-themed CB with honeydew melon, crème fraiche, d’Anjou pear, slight ginger and honeysuckle notes. More viscous in its mouthfeel, definitely a more medium-bodied CB. Very nice!
Fat Barrel Pinotage South Africa 2008. Grade=Outstanding+. Pinotage usually has people ducking for cover, but this one will definitely draw them back to the much-maligned and misunderstood cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsault (known as Hermitage in South Africa). Raisiny red berries, dark plums, dark chocolate and notes of espresso, peat, tar and roasted meats.
Fat Barrel Cabernet/Shiraz South Africa 2008. Grade=Outstanding+. Very smooth, medium-bodied red blend with jammy red and black fruit aromas and flavors, baking spices, tobacco, some cedar and vanillin oak. A great value.
