NEW WINE ALERT!!

We have a new rose' from France! This is another crowd pleaser for your holiday feast! It pairs so well with so many dishes. I am very excited about this new addition to our line-up. Perfect pairing recipes coming up.

Lancre Rosé

2019 – Medium bodied dry rosé

Pale pink with a coppery tinge; medium body.
Animated and poised white flower aromas precede extended flavors of dominant tangy red berries over watermelon rind. Captures the subtle precision of the Cinsault supported by the vigor of the Syrah. Delicate while intense, and accessible while complex.

Happy Monday!!

The next wine in the holiday pairing line-up is a sweet red that is slightly effervescent. This will great for an opening or closing wine. You can have it as a toast to start of the festivities or at the end paired with your dessert. So many wonderful options with this wine. It is one of our most popular wines and is sure to be another hit with your guests or hosts!

Fissata Sweet Red

Fizzy, Fruity, and Fabulous
Translucent, dark watermelon red in color, this release opens with floral, sweet-ish stone fruit over a raspberry-ish nose. A well-integrated palate of sweet fruity red berries and a nutty quality are repeated in the mouth. Gentle effervescence makes for an overall pleasing dessert wine experience.
