In the Vineyard
Salutations to Harvest 2017! This year’s grape harvest was relatively normal and we are starting to see beautiful Fall colors of yellow, orange, and red sweep through the vineyard, as the vines approach their dormant stage. Before the vines enter dormancy, their leaves will accumulate carbohydrate reserves through photosynthesis then, the leaves will change color and fall from the vine after the first frost. Its a beautiful transition from fall to winter. As the chill sets in, it's time for cozy sweaters, muled wine and gearing up for the festive holidays!
Did You Know?
The holidays are upon us and we are starting to think about festive gatherings, what wine will you be serving with your Thanksgiving turkey? Traditionally, turkey pairs with a nice Pinot Noir, sparkling wine or Champagne; but did you know, it also pairs with rosé, especially Mitchella’s Reluctant Rosé. A fruit forward dry blend of red varietals, that will pair beautifully with the flavors of your turkey and side dishes. We also recommend Mitchella’s Viognier, Zinfandel or our GSM blend Shameless to compliment your holiday feast. Cheers!
Wine Of The Month
2013 Sweet Leona
Rich layers of fruit complexity combined with rich aromas and flavors of blackberry, plum and warm spice complemented by nuances of cardamom and violets. On the finish, the lush fruit profile is enhanced by caramelized vanilla from barrel aging. A must for the fall/winter season!
