Spring is on its way! The groundhog and the cherry blossoms said so. You might even be forgiven for thinking it's already here. Whatever the weather, the days are getting longer, and the Equinox is around the corner, which means it's time for a new six-pack! With the warmer weather and increasing evening daylight, all we want to do is sit out on the porch (balcony, deck, stoop, what have you) with a glass of nice wine and soak it all in, even if you might still have to wear a sweater some days. So we've selected a range of wines suitable for social sipping or for pairing with springtime dishes.
A sparkling rosé of Nebbiolo from Piedmont makes a refreshing aperitif, but shows enough midpalate depth to hold its own on the dinner table. A trio of whites, including a blend of indigenous Greek varietals, an unoaked Chardonnay from South Africa, and a white Rioja provide a range of weights and textures to pair with cheese, salad, and any number of lighter seasonal dishes. A stainless-steel-fermented Tempranillo is a lighter, fruitier take on Rioja. Suitable for chilling, it's a refreshing alternative for the red-wine drinker and a killer pairing for charcuterie. Finally, a classic Côtes-du-Rhône brings a bit more depth and structure to the dinner table while retaining a refreshing liveliness.
The Spring Six-Pack goes on sale on Wedsday, March 6, and we'll be pouring the wines on the tasting bar on Friday, March 8 from 4pm to 7pm. Join us!
