30 Aug It’s Friday! Let’s taste some great wines!
We have three great wines for your Labor Day Barbeque! Two are organic!
Pacific Rim Organic Riesling from Washington ($21.99) – Our Riesling displays aromas of jasmine and citrus. The subtly sweet profile is balanced by bright and refreshing acidity. We’ve crafted a wine to pair with the foods that today’s wine lovers place on their dinner tables.
Chapoutier Belleruche Rose ($18.99) – Belleruche Rose’s color is a light pink with salmon-pink highlights. This wine has aromas of red fruits, currant, raspberry and cherry. On the palate, the freshness is well-balanced and round. Mainly Grenache, then Cinsault and Syrah. The vineyards of “Belleruche” rosé are located on old fluvioglacial terraces, on the right bank of the Rhône.
Carol Shelton Monga Zin from California ($27.99) – Carol Shelton is widely cited as the most awarded winemaker in the United States. She has won countless medals for her wines and has been honored as Winemaker of the Year numerous times. After years of working with some of the industry’s top winemakers and wineries, Carol continues to win awards and accolades for premium Zinfandels produced under her own brand, Carol Shelton Wines. This Zinfandel exhibits a humongous mouth-filling array of very bright pomegranate-wild cherry fruit, brown sugary caramel oak, milk chocolate, and fragrant Asian spices. The winery christened the “Monga Zin” as they stumbled while saying its appellation too many times, probably after having too much of this humongous mouthful of fruit and rich milk chocolate. The wine is 100% Zinfandel from the Jose Lopez Vineyard, a dry-farmed, CCOF certified organic vineyard in the Cucamonga Valley planted in 1918.
Three great wines to taste tonight! What a great way to start your Labor Day Weekend!
