Meiomi Pinot Noir 2008
Central Coast
Caymus has done it again with this
voluptuous offering combining grapes from Santa Barbara, Monterey and Sonoma. Exuding flavors of ripe strawberry and bright cherry with subtle notes of spicy oak and vanilla, this pinot is a perfect compliment to your sweet and savory Thanksgiving menu.
Other great pinot noirs to consider...
MONTOYA 2009 - Monterey County in all it's glory. The black cherry on the front pallet serves to set up the lingering fruit finish.
KRIS 2008 - If you're in the market for fruit and fun, look no further. Noticeably juicy with a great presence of fresh summer berries.
ANGELINE 2009 - One the best buys in the store. True to varietal, this velvety pinot lends bright fruit aromas and ripe berry flavors.
Pierre Sparr Gewurztraminer 2008
Alsace Region
It's easy to write off gewurztraminer as just another "sweet white wine". Something you'd have after dinner from time to time. If there was ever a wine to debunk that notion this is it. In a word, complex. Dry yet floral to the nose, rich in citrus and light fruits. Refreshing acidity perfect for your holiday fowl selection of choice.
Other great whites to consider...
DR LOOSEN RIESLING 2009 - A top 100 wine last year from Wine Spectator, this riesling is crisp, cool and refreshing. Hints of almonds and honey abound. Try it with your spicier turkey endeavors.
HOGUE LATE HARVEST RIESLING 2009 - Enjoy a "sweeter than the average bear" riesling from Washington's Columbia Valley. Great for desert or with cheese.
VILLA WOLF 2009 - Yet another Loosen Brothers wine. A charming gewurztraminer, boasting showy aromas of clean fruit. |
