BBQ WINES
Looks
like our luck will be holding: a beautiful, sunny, comfortably warm
weekend is coming our way. Enjoy the outdoors, and your friends and family,
with that final big summer barbecue. Here are a couple of crowd-pleasers
that sip well on their own, but will also give snacky noshes or a simple
mixed grill a boost.
Domaine Houchart Côtes de Provence Rosé AOC
2007 |
The soil of this ancient Domaine has been
farmed since the days of the Roman Empire. The Houchart family took control
of the property in the 1850’s, which is currently owned by Geneviève
Houchart and run by her husband Jerôme
Quiot. Today, Quiot farms 50 hectares, roughly 123 acres, planted to a large
variety of grapes. Rosé from the Côtes de Provence is perhaps the
best known in all of France. It is said that 80% of the wine produced in the
region is rosé and that nearly half the rosé produced in France
hails from the Côtes de Provence. This is a classic dry style rosé,
look for strawberry and raspberry flavors with that crisp, minerally edge that
is classic to good quality rosé.

Crosby Cabernet Sauvignon California 2006 |
What to have when you just
want a tasty glass of wine? This wine fits the bill, it’s perfect for casual
parties, or at home with spaghetti and meatballs. Fruit harvested from
various sites is fermented in stainless steel; no oak means that the primary
red fruit flavors of the grapes are preserved. This is a no-brainer crowd
pleaser that is perfect for end of season cookouts, but is destined to
be your house red. |

MORE BBQ WINES
Add
a richly flavorful Australian Chardonnay, and a couple of luscious
red blends from California to your backyard bbq; they’ll hit the right
notes with all the iconic summer grill fare.
Amaroo Chardonnay New South Wales 2006 |
This Aussie addition to our Chardonnay
selection is a fuller-bodied expression, found in our rich section.
Am-a-roo is the ancient Aboriginal term for ’a beautiful place’. The label
is playful, but the wine is quite serious. The focus is on delicious ripe
apple and pear fruit, one of the strong suits for Australia. The wine
is aged in oak, giving an added dimension on flavor and texture. Great
for parties and gatherings, this wine will be at home with rich seafood
dishes or grilled chicken and pork.

Pedroncelli Friends Red Sonoma County 2005 |
Pedroncelli Winery is one of the few "institutions" in
California’s glitzy North Coast. The winery has been family owned and
operated since 1927 (selling fruit during prohibition); they have remained
humble. Now they have created Friends Red, a blend of grapes intended to
offer an exceptional value for immediate and immense enjoyment. The components
were aged for one year in a blend of French and American oak barrels, adding
character to the ripe fruit. This is the ideal burger wine, great for most
any occasion. |
| Regular Price: $11.99 |
Tasting Sale Price: $10.79 |
Maramonte "Syrage" California 2005 |
Taking its name from one of its component
grape varieties (Syrah), Syrage is a big, full-bodied California red. The
wine is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, but Cabernet Franc and Syrah
are blended in for complexity. The wine is the brain-child of Charles Mara
who strives to blend the best of a California "Meritage" with
a Rhone Valley Hermitage, a French appellation exclusively produced from Syrah.
His efforts have paid off, resulting in a real bargain, considering bottles
of similar weight and intensity coming from the state. A natural partner
for grilled meats, this will also enhance a roasted eggplant and heirloom tomato
pasta. |
