The good stuff you don't know about
The inspiration for this week's pairing came to me from a country ice cream shop that had a board titled "The good stuff you don't know about." A few of the selections included lemon basil, espresso black bean, and lavender mint. I tried banana curry and Wow was that good. So this week we are sharing with you "the good stuff you don't know about".
THE WINE
Sighardt Donabaum Red Lips Rose’ 2013 - This wine is like opera-it combines the best of the arts to create the ultimate show. This performance begins with a striking display of coppery pink color that leads you to a bouquet of subtle geranium blossom and red berries. The surprise of fizzy bubbles elevate the fruity, yet dry flavors cherry and red raspberry with a touch of pleasant tart ruby red grapefruit, in a finish that is tied together with clean balanced acid and minerality, leaving the audience to show their appreciation through taking another sip Bravo, Brava. Made from Zweigelt, St.Laurent, Pinot Noir, grown in Wachau, Austria only 203 case of this special wine made
