Month: May 2022

On May 25th, wine lovers all over the world will raise a glass to their favorite beverage in celebration of National Wine Day. How are you celebrating? Can’t decide between red or white wine? Try one of each! 

Here’s one red and white wine to celebrate National Wine Day with: 

Red Wine: Trivento Golden Reserve Malbec

The Trivento Golden Reserve Malbec is a vigorous red with violet tints and an aromatic profile that express intense raspberries and blackberries on the nose. This malbec is vibrant with a round structure and juicy finish. 

White Wine: Velante Pinot Grigio 

The Velante Pinot Grigio is grown in the Venezia Giulia region in reddish soil rich in iron oxide. This pinot grigio has an aroma of delicious apples, ripe pears, and peach with a perfect balance between acidity and plushness. It is paired well with appetizers, salads, fish, pasta, risottos, and lighter meats. Great for spring and summertime sipping. 

Cheers to National Wine Day!

There’s nothing quite like a crisp, refreshing glass of white wine on a warm afternoon! Check out three of our favorite white wines for warmer weather: 

Highlands 41 Chardonnay 

The Highlands 41 Chardonnay is ripe with the aromas of guava, orange peel, and citrus with a touch of spicy oak to add complexity to the sip. This chardonnay is great to take outdoors on your next adventure and pairs well with fish or wild mushroom risotto! 

Stella Rosa Pinot Grigio 

The Stella Rosa Pinot Grigio is different yet exciting – it’s the first still wine from Stella Rosa. This pinot grigio is filled with flavors of green apple, honey and pear, making it a crisp and delicious choice for a picnic in the park on a warm afternoon. 

Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc 

The Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp wine with vibrant aromas of grapefruit, white peach, and passionfruit. It is best served chilled on its own as an aperitif or also as a delicious pairing with croissants, freshly baked bread, white meat dishes, and tangy cheeses.
