Wines for Sipping in the Sun
Everybody loves the sunshine! This week, in honor of the (projected) weather, we thought it would be fun to focus on two of our current favs to sip in the sun. Both are super fresh tasting yet distinct.
We hope you enjoy! Cheers!
2019 Cochonnet ‘Melon’ 1L, $23
Grapes: 100% Melon de Bourgone
Tasting Notes: Very cool liter bottle and new arrival from the Loire Valley in France- organic, biodynamic, natural yeast fermentation, and small-batch produced.
Medium-bodied on the palate with forward citrus zest and slate minerality, nice zippy finish. This wine is perfect for enjoying light daytime fares like shellfish or an arugula salad with sliced strawberries. Delish.
2019 Granbazan ‘Etiqueta Verde’, $21
Grapes:100% Albarino
Tasting Notes: A great bottle of white from the famed region of Rias Baixas in Spain. This bottle has all the ‘classic’ Albarino notes that you want.
Prominent aromas of orange blossom and granite, rich tones of pineapple and green apple on the palate, with a clean spritz of citrus and a touch of saline on the finish. Outstanding!
