Drink Up: toast to National Drink Wine Day with these six velvety and crisp wines
A special toast is in order as we celebrate National Drink Wine Day (which if you think about it, should be every day). Whether a luxurious red, a fruity white or a celebratory rosé, each has its distinct, yet alluring appeal that just calls out to us. Before wine used to be a solely European endeavor, with the French having cornered the market. But in today’s market, we can enjoy a myriad of varietals coming from all corners of the globe (except Antartica). Check out some of the top wines you should try to get your *clink* on for National Drink Wine Day.
Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay
Perfect for the white wine lovers in all of us, the Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay has a delicate floral note mixed in with hints of fresh citrus, orange blossom and white peach.
Meiomi Pinot Noir
The Meiomi Pinot Noir boasts complex flavors with an incredible depth of taste that will leave everyone wanting more. It pairs well with grilled meats and thin crust pizza (say what?!).
Sterling Vineyards Vintner’s Collection Cabernet Sauvignon
The Sterling Vineyards Vintner’s Collection Cabernet Sauvignon opens with rich aromas of blackberry bramble, accented by nutmeg and mocha spices. This smooth wine pairs well with anything from a filet mignon to barbecued ribs.
Brunello Di Montalcino
Brunello di Montalcino is a full, soft and velvety red. The tart-cherry and spice flavors pair perfectly with red meats, wild game and aged cheeses.
Rosa Regale
This sparkling Brachetto d’Acqui boasts a vibrant red color and sensuous strawberry and raspberry flavor (oh la la!). Make it the perfect end to your meal and pair it with chocolate pie and other decadent desserts
Poggio Alle Mura
Poggio alle Mura is aged for two years in mostly French oak barriques and some Slavonian oak casks. It is Castello Banfi’s first unfiltered wine, capturing a full body and round complexity, resulting in a rich, forward, superior Brunello.
