Spring Sippers
It's official-SPRING has sprung. Time to clean out those wine cabinets and swap some heavy hitters for lighter, fruitier bottles.
Little Black Dress Chardonnay- perky packaging for this dry white that bursts with over-the-top tropical fruit flavors and vanilla oak.
Little Black Dress Rose of Syrah-dry pink wine with aromas and flavors of sweet wild raspberry, blackberry and vanilla.
2007 The Crossings, Sauvignon Blanc-This New Zealand white is classic Sauvignon Blanc. Bright aromas and zingy, tangy lingering flavors of pink grapefruit, herbs and soft melon. Delish!
Chateau Bonnet Blanc-dry, fresh, AFFORDABLE white Bordeaux. Lush, fresh blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle makes perfect picnic wine.
Blue Jean Red-Easy drinking red blend from California. Spicy, jammy, and perfect fit in any glass. Fire up the grill!
