Wine & Olive Oil Pairing at Ryhan Winery

Fine olive oils are as distinctive as fine wines, and here's your chance to sample both at Ryhan Winery in Livermore, California. The winery will be hosting a special event at their East Avenue tasting room, pairing several varieties of Olivina Olive Oils with a selection of Ryhan Estate Vineyards wines.

Here's what Ryhan Winery's Marketing Director Ravali Ravulapati had to say about Olivina Olive Oils:

When I was first introduced to Olivina Olive Oils, I was completely blown away by the vast differences between olive oils. Immediately after tasting the different oils, I knew I wanted to get Charles and Olivina into our tasting room to put an event together. This is your chance to come out and try these amazing oils! It's not just any olive oil, it's ... Olivina Olive Oils!

These are just a few of the olive oils that will be available for tasting:

Mission - A full bodied extra virgin olive oil
A robust oil with wheatgrass aroma and a medium finish. Good for drizzling over bruschetta (grilled/toasted bread) or as a dip for baguette and raw vegetables.

Frantoio - A medium-bodied Italian varietal
Green aroma with hints of green tea. Spicy on the palate. In the Italian tradition, good as a finishing touch for soup, stews and hearty bean dishes.

Century Mission - A full bodied extra virgin olive oil from 100+ year old Mission trees
A robust oil with green grass and wheatgrass aromas. Round on palate with spicy finish. Use (finishing) oil as a condiment on grilled meats, chicken and vegetables.
