Euro Trip!
No need for train tickets or luggage for this Euro-Trip. We land in France for an awesome bubbly that has fruit forward flavors. Then we hitchhike down the highway to Southern France for a crisp white blend from the Gascogne region. Then. We find ourselves in Tuscany for a pair of Sangiovese one dark one light. One has warm red fruit and the other a pinch of mint and eucalyptus! And to finish with a cherry on top… A special wine that is sweet, bubbly, dark red and absolutely fabulous. Get here to try them all….

This Sangiovese blend has dark-berry, violet, with hints of vanilla and spice. A wonderful chugger from Tuscany. The palate is complex, but has an easy, fine finish. Pairs well with roasts, or any flavorful dishes.
La Spinetta, Il Nero Di Casanova, Italy $22
This wine has an intense red in color with bold cherry and spicy mint characteristics on the nose. Densely rich on the palate, this magnificently structured Sangiovese is rounded with a good grip and fine finish.
Villa Rosa, Brachetto D’Aqui, Italy $16
Bright cherry colored in the glass. Fresh and lively on the nose showing strawberry, cranberry and candied spice aromas. The palate is silky and lightly effervescent, with a mixture of raspberry, sweet herbs, vanilla, and plum. A pure finish, with excellent length, nicely frames each component. Drink right away while young and fresh. Pair it with any berry dessert, from a raspberry tart to a blackberry crumble to strawberry shortcake.
