Santa Rita 120 Sauvignon Blanc 2008
Winemaker's comments : Our 120 Sauvignon Blanc is crisp and refreshing. It has aromas and flavors of citrus fruits such as grapefruit and lemon peel that lend a fresh balance to the tropical fruit character and the typical herbal notes from the 2% of semillón in the blend. Vibrant, fresh, deep, and well-rounded on the palate. Excellent as an aperitif or with seafood. This wine has a fruity aroma, with a crisp, fruity with a nice acidity. Very light and easy to drink.
Beer of the week
Leinenkugel's Fireside Nut Brown
While the star of this holiday seasonal is the roasted malt character, the well-balanced flavor and brilliant amber tones give this a comforting approachability that you don’t experience in a traditional English-style nut browns. English two-row malts give this lager a maple aroma and pronounced chocolate, carmel and hazelnut top notes that dance around the palate before finishing gracefully. (Leinenkugel website) This beer was a big seller last year!
Spirit of the week
Jose Cuervo Black Medallion Tequila
This complex, flavorful anejo tequila is aged for twelve months in new charred oak barrels. The agave foundation is buried under aromas of oak extract, vanilla and dark caramel. The palate entry is concentrated and sweet, with no natural agave herbaceousness; the midpalate mirrors the manufactured sweetness of the entry. Finishes warm, woody and smoky-sweet.
