About Anne Amie Vineyards
Anne Amie Vineyards is located in the Willamette Valley of Oregon and owned by philanthropist Dr. Robert Pamplin. Winemaker Thomas Houseman and grower Peter Ebbers handle the production. Though their primary varieties are in the Pinot family, as a nice compliment, they also grow Old-Vine Estate Müller-Thurgau planted back in 1979. Both LIVE and Salmon Safe certified, Anne Amie crafts some high quality wines and does so sustainably.

The Floor is Guava

TASTING NOTES:
Look for guava, mandarin, jasmine flower, juicy fruit, cherimoya, citrus blossom, and ginger on the nose. White strawberry, lychee, nectarine, honeysuckle, quince and green pineapple may grace your tongue, as well as some St. Germain and summertime? A spicy, mineral driven and effervescent finish.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
It’s pretty weird how ubiquitous a game like “The Floor is Lava” actually is. You would think it’d be a thing a group of kids just comes up with on their own, but everybody knows it. And that’s pretty cool. Although, apparently it can be used to refer to a rule in some places that strippers can only expose themselves on a raised platform, thus making the floor itself “lava.” Also, scientists have determined that the game could not be played with real lava as the air above the lava is too hot for any human to survive.

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
“Thai, Mexican, NC BBQ, Indian, sushi burritos, Jamaican hand pies, brunch mimosas, dumplings, kimchi fried rice, hot days, boat rides, Netflix, life in general.”

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
A scientific approach to a children’s game.
