Wines of the Month:

                      

900 grapes – from New Zealand.  Each bottle is made from approximately 900 grapes (or about 180 grapes per glass)

900 grapes Sauvignon Blanc

Winemaker Notes:  This 2012 vintage is pale green in color.  The lively nose shows tropical and citrus fruits with subtle herbaceous undertones.  The crisp, fresh palate delivers classic Marlborough acidity, structure and length, perfect summer drinking.  A hint of elegant floral aromatics add to the attraction.

 

900 grapes Pinot Noir

 

Winemaker Notes:  This 2011 vintage is bright ruby in color.  The wine exudes sweet ripe dark cherry and red fruit aromas with smoky and herbal undertones.  The palate is well balanced with layers of dark cherries, plums and berry fruits, a hint of toasty oak, all culminating in a smooth silky finish.

Cheese of the Month:

Prairie Breeze

Prairie Breeze is one of three Milton Creamery cheeses made by the Musser family in Milton, Iowa.  The Mussers, a Mennonite family who relocated to Milton from Pennsylvania almost 20 years ago, collect milk from pasture-grazed cows living on other nearby Amish farms to craft their Alpine-style Cheddar.  Aged at least nine months, Prairie Breeze is a pasteurized cheese that fuses the body of traditional Cheddar with the sweet, delicate flavor of an Alpine cheese. It’s balanced, medium sharp and you’ll find some of the subtle grassy tones as well. Perfect on top of a wheat cracker, the cheese also pairs well with Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon or a brown ale.  Try this award winning cheese at your next gathering.

 July Special @ $14.95/lb.
