Seth has a dry Alsatian you’re going to love

Traber in Alsace, France. Sylvaner isn't a grape that's bandied about very often. Still, do NOT overlook this amazing, dry Alsatian white. It is light, bright, and outta sight. You will experience notes of peach, grapefruit, orange blossom, thyme, and a delicious flinty minerality. Pair this Sylvaner with antipasti, cheeses, olives, spicy Asian cuisine, mushroom omelets, onion tarts, quiches, and even sushi. [...]

What Are We Drinking Now? Castro Martin A20 Albariño

Sierra is having dreams of warm breezes with this Albariño. Castro Martin A20 Albariño While we endure these last few weeks of winter, I can't help but dream of the days of warm breezes and picnics in the park. When these waves of wishful thinking hit, I reach for a bottle that encapsulates the meaning of all things springtime. Lately, it has been the A2O Albariño from Castro Martin. This refreshing wine from Pontevedra, Spain, boasts aromas of juicy melon with hints of wildflowers. As you sip, you'll get notes of tangy yellow peach and rich nectarine that's rounded off [...]

What Are We Drinking Now? Jezebel

Abbie has a power due that doesn't overpower. Jezebel - White Blend & Pinot Noir Jezebel White Blend is a lovely blend of Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris. This is a crowd-pleasing, easy-drinking, crisp, light and refreshing white with just a touch of sweetness. I drank it with some salty and spicy chicken fried rice and it paired beautifully. Jezebel Pinot Noir is a high-quality and food-friendly red — a lovely Pinot out of Oregon that is light and earthy with leathery soft tannins and hints of dark cherries. I paired this wine with an Italian cauliflower crust pizza and [...]
