This semi-sweet Blanc du Bois wine is delightfully pleasing for an afternoon treat. You’ll note berries and fruit aromas enticing your taste buds. Given it’s age, this wine was still quite flavorful and delicious. We noted hints of banana and floral flavors as the dominant tasting notes. Surprisingly, this old white wine maintained its flavor even after being opened for an hour. It’s always cool to gaze at the deep colors of aged whites and marvel in its physical beauty. Served chilled with a light meal, snack or on its own. It’s good either way. Enjoy!
A nice level of froth is apparent, a good tone of yellow with delicate notes of green is noticeable. Brilliant and lively in the glass. To the nose, the impact is elegant, delicate, fragrant, clear notes of orange, apricot, peach and rose are perceived. Excellent introduction highlighted by the carefully balanced perlage which incorporates the sensations of sweetness, acidity and salinity.
The 100% Malvasia Bianca from Farmhouse Vineyards leaps from the glass with a lively and perfumed nose of lemon verbena and coconut water, accented by a hint of Asian pear. A very clean and delicate mouthfeel provides beautiful precision and minerality, river rock, lime zest and juicy tangerine. This wine begs to be enjoyed in the summertime, on the beach with light cheeses and fruit.
100% Refosco grapes. Pleasantly sweet, the berry aromas and flavors are impossible to resist. Low in alcohol, this is a fun and easy to drink red wine for those who prefer their wines “off dry”
Notes of ripe pineapple, peach and sweet candied grapefruit with a long, full finish. This Muscat Canelli would be an elegant partner for fruit and sharp cheeses, or as a replacement for dessert. Something salty or spicy also balances the flavors nicely.
Translates to the Land of Wine. This wine brings us even closer to our roots because it is dedicated to those varieties of grapes that Gregory Graziano's grandfather grew in the Piemonte region of Italy and are still maintained by his cousins to this day. These varieties, many of which were brought to America in suitcases, have adapted especially well in the cooler areas of Mendocino County. Lying above the fog and frost line in the sun, they enjoy even temperatures and an extended growing season. These are big broad-shouldered reds and contrastingly, delicate perfumed whites.
Fiori is an off-dry slightly frizzante Moscato from the Veneto in North Eastern Italy. This fruity and refreshing wine can be enjoyed anytime but shines at the end of a big meal. Fiori means “flowers” in Italian.
A young wine just recently brought back from the early 1900’s, this is a light and fruity blend with hints of strawberries and cherries. Although this wine is sweet, it serves as an excellent table wine and is very versatile. It will pair up nicely with any southern, home cooked meal.
