This weekend we not only have a 2-Day storewide sale going on, but we also are asking you to come to the winery to enjoy our FREE Wine Tasting Event, where we hope you will test out our new wines for us! We’ve made 5 new wines that we need you to evaluate so that you can help us decide whether they stay on our list or not! Here’s more about the wines:
Afterglow Red (Mulled Wine)… I tried it the other night and All I have to say is mmmmmm…..
Tasting Notes: Enjoy the inviting aromas and comforting taste of this rich, sweet red wine, which offers delightful notes of cloves, allspice, cinnamon, and orange peel on your palate.
Best warmed on a stove or in a crockpot over medium-low heat until steaming, this wine should be served hot alongside dried fruits, nuts, spiced breads or cookies. Take it up a notch by dropping in a few raisins and almonds, top it with whip cream and use a cinammon stick as a garnish to stir it with!
Berry Blush (Raspberry White Zinfandel)
Berry Blush (Raspberry White Zinfandel) – Fruity Wine Lovers…You’re going to love this wine!
TASTING NOTES: This easy drinking blush wine offers the succlent, mouth-watering flavors of sweet, ripe raspberries blended gracefully with fresh floral notes on the nose, ending with a soft finish.
Pairs well with sweet barbeque, Asian or lndian dishes, cheesecake w/ berries & more…
Cabernet Sauvignon II
Cabernet Sauvignon II – This is a different Cab Sav that we’re really wanting your opinion on because we’re considering replacing our current Cab Sav with it. Let us know what you think!
Here’s the Tasting Notes: This full bodied wine bears the tell-tale nose of spice, black currants and dark fruit. Rich in taste, it is packed with dark cherries, pepper spice and violets on the palate.
Pairs well with filet mignon, grilled steak, lamb chops, pasta with red sauce, and strong cheeses. This wine also makes a great match for dark chocolate.
Holiday Red (Raspberry Merlot)
Holiday Red (Raspberry Merlot) – You can see we’re trying to fit a Raspberry fruity wine in….we’ll have to see which you like best!
Reward your passion for intense, exotic flavors with this berry-colored red wine. The succulent flavors of ripe raspberries round out this rich, soft and supple wine. Serve slightly chilled.
Pairs well with sharp cheeses, tomato-based pizza and pasta, dark chocolate, and cheesecake with raspberry accents.
Serene White (Kiwi Melon Pinot Grigio)
Serene White (Kiwi Melon Pinot Grigio) – The wine label featuring Lake George’s serene waters in July is perfect for this wine, because it takes you right back to summer and just begs you to relax as if you were in the sun!
TASTING NOTES: This light bodied white wine captures the mouth watering flavors of freshly cut honeydew melon and juicy watermelon. Perfectly balanced with tones of tart kiwi fruit, this wine has a deliciously fresh fruity finish.
Pair it with poultry, fish and shellfish, creamy desserts, fruit salad, or ice cream. Cheese pairings include Mild Cheddar, Provolone, and Light Swiss.
I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS / HANUKKAH!
Sincerely,
Sasha
