September 2010 Truro Vineyards Triumph 2007 Rarely do I find myself beyond a ten mile radius of my house during the summer months here on Cape Cod- the traffic & crowds just aren’t worth it! However, this past week I made an exception to visit Truro Vineyards. For a small fee they offer a tasting of their wines & an informative tour around the vineyards & facilities. The wines have vastly improved since the Roberts family bought the business in 2007, but by far my favorite is the Triumph. It is a Bordeaux-style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. Balanced, structured and totally approachable, this is the wine to bring home & show what the Cape has to offer!

Karen Bazan

Fine Wine Manager, Luke's Super Liquor Stores of Brewster, MA

Karen began her experience with wine in 1999 working in a retail store on the Cape. She used that experience to finance her travels across the United States, eventually landing in Oregon, the home to fine Pinot Noirs and Pinot Gris. After several years out West, Karen returned to the Cape in 2002, and to her former place of employment. Karen's extensive knowledge of wine, and of the retail business, made her much sought after. The Luke's Fine Wine team family was overjoyed when she agreed to join them just last year. While her place of business has changed over the years, her love of wine and drive to learn more about it has remained constant. Karen is partial to the Old World style of wine, particularly French, Italian, and Spanish. She believes that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy fine wine in every price range.
