NEWS FROM THE BARNYARD
We have tasted some really cool and fun wines lately so we loaded up
the Barnyard with the favorites for summer.
Casa Vinicola Zonin, Italy's largest privately held wine company, has
launched Primo Amore, a new line of authentic and affordable, high-quality
Italian wines with the American wine lover in mind. According to Francesco
Zonin, "wine is all about love", and Primo Amore means "first
love" in Italian. In keeping with the romantic theme, two of the
wines - a white and a red - are named for a famous pair of "star-crossed"
lovers. Primo Amore Romeo (red) and Primo Amore Juliet (white) are lively,
effervescent, light and slightly off-dry wines that will seduce any
palate.
Primo Amore Romeo - A semi-sweet and very pleasant wine with a distinctive
raspberry taste, with youthful and appealing fruit, is ideal with cold
meats, quiche or pizza. $8.49
Primo Amore Juliet - This charming white with delicate and festive fruit,
is best enjoyed with appetizers, veggies, or pasta dishes. $8.49
Colombelle Red Wine from Gascony. Our customers have enjoyed soooo much
the Colombelle White, that we just had to bring in this blend of Tannat,
Merlot, and Cabernet! Serve slightly chilled to enjoy its soft and expressive
array of ripe red and black fruits, such as cherry, plums, and blackcurrant.
Yum! $10.99
Nieto Senetiner 2007 Chardonnay - New to the store, this 100% Chardonnay
from the Mendoza region of Argentina has been aged in French oak and
has hints of vanilla and tropical fruit tones. Creamy, with a long elegant
finish, you can enjoy it with a variety of foods, or just sip away!
We also have the Nieto Malbec and the Cabernet for the same price. Check
them out!! -$11.99
Le Mire Bianco 2007 - This blend of Trebbiano, Toscano, Malvasia del
Chianti and Chardonnay from Italy is light bodied and fragrant, fresh
