Armenian pomegrante wines make their debut
New wines are constantly popping up in stores. Now local wine drinkers can add Armenian wines to the mix, thanks to Ararat Import Export LLC,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], formed by Edgar Vardanian,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a dancer in Carolina Ballet in Raleigh, and his partners, former dancer Vlad Burakov and importer Arnie Slutsky.
Vardanian, 29,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], began importing brandy and wine from his native Armenia last year in hopes of having a second career when it comes time to hang up his dancing shoes.
Most of his imports are wines made from native Armenian grapes rarely seen in this country. His newest wine is made from pomegranates, which until recently have not been very popular in the United States. "In Armenia, pomegranates grow everywhere. We use pomegranates in some form in almost everything. I've been drinking the juice since I was this high,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Vardanian said, indicating a height of about 2 feet.
The pomegranate fruit itself is notoriously difficult to eat because it has hundreds of seeds. chefs recently have been incorporating the juice and syrup in all kinds of dishes. Also, pomegranates have been reported to have potential health benefits,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], because of their cancer-fighting antioxidants - more than that in red-wine grapes.
The pomegranate wine,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], available in Winston-Salem at Whole Foods Market, is a semisweet wine. Served chilled, it tastes like a blend of strawberry and red-grape juices. It's a bit alcoholic at first, but the fruity flavor increases in appeal upon subsequent sips. This can be a refreshing wine for summer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not unlike an off-dry rose or blush wine, such as white zinfandel.
Whole Foods also is carrying a couple of other Ararat red wines. The 1991 areni,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a dry red, has lots of white pepper and restrained berry fruit. Overall, it's reminiscent of a lighter Cotes du Rhone wine.
Vernashen is like a cross between the pomegranate and areni wines. Made from the areni grape, it has a peppery nose and berry fruit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but only a touch a sweetness. All of the wines retail for about $10.
Vardanian named his company for Armenia's Mount Ararat. It is here, according to the Bible, that Noah's Ark came to rest after the flood,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], at which time "Noah began to be an husbandman and he planted a vineyard." (Genesis 9:20).
Vardanian said that because Armenian wines are mostly imported through the West Coast and tend to be a bit expensive once they reach Eastern cities, he's hoping to fill a void in the market. So far, he's encouraged. In fact,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he's working harder than he planned. "I didn't expect everybody to be calling me, saying,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 'Bring me some more,'" he said.
He says he hopes that he'll soon be able to hire a delivery person, or contract with a distributor to help get his wines into stores.
Though some of Vardanian's colleagues dance into their 40s,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he knows that his dancing days are limited. He also recently became engaged,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and he's thinking about the difficulty of reconciling the performing life with that of a family. "I'm getting to the age, it's time to think of kids," he said. "With dancing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's hard. I can barely take care of my dogs right now."相关的主题文章:
