This week's Wine Pick of the Week include three delicious wines featured at dish.
Blackeye Zinfandel
A great fruit forward style of Zin, but not over the top, ripe and jammy. It’s balanced with a core of black berry and plum followed by some little tannin and acidity. Great juicy American wine.
Sokol Blosser Evolution
While Evolution is a particularly easy wine to drink, it is by far the hardest wine I have ever had to make. Trying to fit together the flavors and aromas of nine radically different varieties is like putting together a large and complicated puzzle. The blend must be well-knit and integrated, yet the individual varietal characters should still be evident. It’s like trying to mix nine different colors of paint and end up with a rainbow instead of a muddy brown. Enough dimension and complexity to interest sophisticated wine-drinkers, yet easy-drinking enough to please those newer to wine. This new edition, is still a blend of nine different white varieties and it still has the same distinctive snap, spice and zing. And, like the previous editions, it’s still designed to pair with foods that are particularly hard to match with wine -- especially spicy foods like Indian, Thai, Cajun, sushi and Southwestern. Evolution's mantra says it all: Chill. Pour. Sip. Chill.
Cono Sur Chardonnay
This chardonnay has a beautiful, young yellow-golden color, exhuberant and complex. It conveys refreshing citrus aromas, with fruity notes of peaches. In the mouth, fruity flavors mingle in with soft minerality. This chardonnay is a young and fresh wine, very balanced, with a great acidity.
Enjoy these wines at dish, or ask wine buyer, Kristin Meghji to help suggest a wine with your food.
