Rosè of the day Thursday April 18, 2013



Schramsberg Brut Rosé N.V.        $39.99/$431.00

Varietals: 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay

Region: Calistoga, Napa Valley, California

Tasting notes: This bubbly is flavorful, complex and dry, making it both versatile with food and delicious by itself as an apéritif. The character of the wine is most strongly influenced by bright, flavorful Pinot Noir grown in Carneros, Anderson Valley, and the Sonoma and Marin coastal areas. A few small lots of Pinot Noir are fermented in contact with their skins to add depth and subtle color to this unique sparkling wine. Chardonnay gives spice, structure and length on the palate.

Menu:  A very versatile wine, try it with sushi, salmon, rock shrimp, pizza, roast chicken, BBQ ribs, burgers, chocolate raspberry tarts and creamy cheeses with summer fruits.

Yesterday's answer: No one guessed yesterday's location but the correct answer was Tutto Pasta. It wasn't an easy one and we did throw a curve ball by doing 2 in a row in their store. Good luck today!
