My husband and I took part in the Bainbridge Uncorked Weekend in June….who knew there were these great wineries on Bainbridge island. Wow, what a surprise in our own backyard! Our first stop was at Eleven winery; nestled in the trees was their tasting room and winery. Eleven is named for the smallest cog in the rear cluster on a racing bike. The founder and wine maker was a bicycle racer, which you will notice when you walk into the tasting room and see that bicycles are decorating the walls. This was my first time to try a Roussanne, which is commonly grown in the south of France. What a treat, I was so happy with our first stop on the wine tour with just my first sip. Another one on their list I sampled was the 2009 La Ronde, a blend of Syrah, Mourvedre, Petit Verdot and Malbec, a winner of a Double Gold medal at the Seattle Wine Awards . This is a very bold, yet smooth wine with a complex ripple across your tongue to wake up your taste buds. Anot
