What you uncork on a Tuesday nite with a Pizza is probably not the same Wine you sip on a Saturday night with a sizzling Filet Mignon dinner. Here are the top picks for that Pizza and Filet!
For a wonderful year round, Beautifully Structured White Wine we suggest our Table White. This amazing affordable wine at only $84 for a half-case is a blend of 62% Chardonnay, 18% Sauvignon Blanc, 13% Muscat and 7% Viognier. All these varietals bring a strong structure, aroma and length for this Wine. The Chardonnay is the Backbone of this Wine giving it tremendous volume with a long finish making this one of our top sellers in the White category. This is a great choice for what we call your "everyday wines."
Our choice for that beautiful rich red Wine for enjoying with friends and family for that weekend cookout where you are serving sizzling Filets, we suggest our Homage 2010 California Lot 39. This is almost a pure Bordeaux style red blend with 29% Malbec, 27% Merlot, 21% Petit Verdot, 15% Cab Franc with a splash of Zinfandel. The Malbec brings its legendary structure, soft tannins and intense color. The Merlot added also some softness and fruit forward characters in this wine. More structure was added after blending in the Petit Verdot, Cab Franc and the Zinfandel. These varietals were fermented separately to keep their unique characteristics only to be blended a few months prior to bottling.
| This wine displays a deep, dark red robe. We start quickly with a first nose of black currant, raspberry and pomegranate. A 2010 wine will imply a mature stage of development but you will find a tremendous youth and dormant power in this wine. Tannins are ripe and coat the mouth for a few long seconds. This is a powerful and full-bodied red wine with a light toasted finish. This is certainly a good candidate for 5 to 7 years of cellaring. STEMS UP! www.wineshopathome.com/floridawinegirls |
