Wines for Valentines

Adriano Garbel Adami Prosecco – Italy

Moderately fine, persistent, and frothy. Lovely, elegant scents of green apples, white wildflowers, minerals, and glazed almonds. The palate is dry but still generous with flavors of yellow cherries and tropical fruits, and a very long finish. Excellent way to start off the evening with your valentine.

Sables D’Azur Rosé 2007 – France

Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault are blended to make up this lovely rosé. There's lots of cherry and melon flavors in this tutti-frutti rosé. Best served as an aperitif or accompanying grilled fish with Provencal vegetables such as legumes. A vibrant treat to share with a loved one.

Friends Red 2006 – Sonoma County

Winemakers and friends of Pedroncelli Winery often recall the days when founder Giovanni Pedroncelli welcomed them to the cellar. They shared stories over a smooth drinking glass of red wine. More important than the varietal were the friendships. In honor of this tradition, they’ve created this blend to share with their friends and yours. A smooth, food-friendly blend of Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Franc.

Wind River Tempranillo 2006 – Washington

As one of the early Washington State producers of Tempranillo, Wind River Cellars has gained great notoriety for producing award winning wines from this lavish Spanish variety. Dark earthy tones of cherry and blackberry allow this bold wine to accompany hearty dishes.

Volcano Vineyards – Rogue Valley

Southern Oregon has emerged as a spectacular wine-growing region. This Southern Oregon wine earned a gold medal in 2008 at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. It’s 75% Merlot (2005), blended with 23% Syrah and 2% Viognier (both 2006). Lush and elegant with bold dark fruit flavors, a firm, food friendly backbone, and a luscious finish. It is delicious!

Rosa Regale Banfi Sparking Dolce Red 2007 – Italy

Deep medium cranberry. Attractive, with aromas of cherry and rose petals. Soft, mildly spritzy and creamy on the palate with soft mouth feel and ripe cherry compote fruit flavors. Good balance with low alcohol, good acidity and a dry finish. Ideal as a delicate aperitif or an elegant dessert wine. It enhances the flavor of chocolate. A classy, romantic wine!
