Wine With Lisa

Bombing Range Red McKinley Springs Winery, Washington State

If you like Washington State Bordeaux-style wines, you will really enjoy this wine. The aroma of blackberries, blueberries, violets, vanilla, spice and mocha are balanced with the silky tannins. This deep garnet wine would pair well with a grilled steak with balsamic glaze and holiday meals as well as warm chocolate bread pudding with whipped cream or a chocolate brownie. This juicy, red wine will be just perfect for your next evening meal or a relaxing weekend get together with friends. This is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10 % Cabernet Franc, 8 % Syrah and 4 % Mourvedre. What distinguishes this juicy, fruit forward wine from its French counterpart is the big, bold mouth-watering fruits with its new world style and the grape blend.
Syrah and Mourvedre are not grapes that are usually allowed or blended in left and right bank
Bordeaux wines. Although Washington wine country and the Bordeaux region of France are approximately on the same latitude line, the warmer climate and longer growing season produces wonderful juicy, fruit -forward wines compared to the earthier, terroir-driven Bordeaux wines.

Tre di Terre Verdiane Ceci Sparkling Italian Wine

This fun Italian Sparkling Wine from the Emilia-Romagna Region of Italy will become one of your favorite wines for the holidays! I was delighted to experience the aromas of apples, pears, bananas and pineapple while enjoying the slightly bubbly and slightly sweet finish. The grapes are 35% Sauvignon Blanc, 35% Pinot Nero and 30% Malvasia. The last two grapes mentioned are found in many Italian wines which contribute to its fruity aromas and the Sauvignon Blanc, also grown in Italy, contributes to the aromas of apples, pears, grapefruit as well as the refreshing slight acidity. Try this sparkling wine with a plate of cured italian meat and briny olives or with your main course.

Italian Sparkling Wines should be enjoyed your meal! This lovely wine is available at your
local wines shops include Grand Cru on Murphy Road in Nashville brought straight from
Italy by 100 % Italiano Distributors.
