Easter is almost here! Do you have your Easter wine? Stop in and I will help you select a great wine for your meal. Yes, many of you have been asking for it and now it is here. We now have in Cakebread Chardonnay just in time for Easter! We have two red and two white wines to taste this evening!
Schild Estate Barossa Shiraz from Australia ($24.99) – “An expressive Shiraz, bursting with dark plum and bright blueberry notes, joined by hints of roasted meat and spice. The finish rolls along with an airy, open texture that lets the flavors sail. Has depth and pinpoint balance. Drink now through 2019.” Wine Spectator, 92 Points
Zonin Chianti from Italy ($9.99) – Ruby-red color with garnet reflections. Fine bouquet with scents of cherries, wild berry fruits, violets and spicy hints. Dry and fresh, with good body and agreeable tannins. It has a fruity and persistent taste with a lightly spicy background.
Essence Mosel Riesling from Germany ($14.99) – Pale gold. Aromatic, with scents of apricot and peach. Fresh fruit flavors perfectly balanced by a racy acidity and mineral character.
Praia Vinho Verde from Portugal ($14.99) – The Wine is made from 40% Arinto, 30% Loureiro, 20% Trajadura and 10% Azal. The grapes are carefully selected from the best vineyards of the Vinho Verde region – the most extensive in Portugal. Praia, which means beach in Portuguese, is a smooth and fresh wine with delicate and lovely fruity flavors. Slightly spritzy, it is well balanced and very refreshing.
