Today’s Tasting!
We have some great wines to taste today, including a sparkling wine! We brought out the good stuff for Valentine’s Day!
Wilson Creek Almond Champagne from California ($15.99) – This gold-medal winning champagne is also referred to as the “OH MY GOSH” champagne. This white sparkling wine is naturally fermented, with just a hint of pure almond added so it’s guaranteed to dazzle your guests. A must-have champagne to make any occasion extra special. Great with desserts, cuddling, hot tubs, picnics, fireplaces, brunches, and parties.
Perrin & Fils Chateauneuf Du Pape Les Sinards from France ($39.99) – “Vivid ruby. Heady aromas of Asian spices, red berries and garrigue, along with a hint of white pepper. Fresh, precise and sappy, offering sweet red fruit compote flavors and showing very good energy. Finishes with excellent clarity and lingering spiciness. I like this wine’s vivacity. Range: 90-92” 92 Points International Wine Cellar.
Sella & Mosca Cannonau Di Sardegna from Italy ($18.99) – Featured on the Dr. Oz show!
” People of Sardinia who drink this wine are 10 times more likely to live to 100. They have their first glass of wine about ten in the morning. Drink another glass of Cannonau Red Wine at lunch, another at happy hour and another at dinner.”
Dan Buettner tells Dr Oz the best wine on the planet for longevity, “Cannonau Red Wine”. Cannonau wine has the highest count of polyphenols in the world. In his book, Blue Zones, Dan Buettner, in conjunction with National Geographic, determined that Cannonau wine does in fact play a role in the longevity of the Sardinian population. From this research and the known effects of flavonoids, it can be said that moderate wine consumption may increase life expectancy while also lowering stress levels.”
Initially dark, ruby red, during maturation it loses intensity and takes on a warmer tone Bouquet: Mesmerizing scent, redolent of violets Taste: Warm, dry, and harmonious with plumy fruit flavors and an aristocratic oak overtone.
McPrice Myers L’ Ange Rouge Grenache from California ($41.99) – The 2007 Grenache L’ Ange Rouge exhibits a dark plum/garnet color that suggests plenty of evolution. The complex aromatics offer up notes of loamy soil intermixed with sweet and sour cherries, strawberry jam, tobacco leaf, and underbrush. It is a showy, spicy, peppery wine with outstanding ripeness, a round, lush texture, and plenty of glycerin (15.8% alcohol). Drink it over the next 2-3 years. 91 Pts. Wine Advocate!
