Wine Wednesday - Well today is Thursday

So I am late for our first Wine Wednesday post, I promise Wine Thursday won't become a tradition!


Ernst & Co. Pinotage


Vintage- 2007
Price- $7.99-9.99

This wine is a Pinot Noir and Meritage blend of uber deliciousness! Perfect for BBQs. And for less than $10/bottle you can let all your friends in on your secret too.

We had some fabulous bottles of wine flowing at my reception and the Pinotage went over the best. I bought two full cases of it and am only left with a half case. Sad face.

This Pinotage is from South Africa. Tasting of ripe dark fruits. But with a hint of smokiness to it, those BBQ flavors in your meats will really pop. Anything hearty and thick will bring out all the flavors in this wine -stews, roasts, a good pork tenderloin, ribs. It is also a perfect sitting by the fire and drinking wine. It will not disappoint you when standing on its own!

Sparkeling Summer Sangria

This is a great summer drink! It's slightly carbonated so it tastes nice and crisp. Very fruity and easy to make :-)

Ingredients:
1-2 bottles of Moscati D'Asti wine
Large bag of frozen assorted fruits (make sure there are strawberries and peaches in it)

Directions:
Pour frozen fruit into a pitcher (depending on the dimensions of your pitcher, you'll want to have about 2-3inches of fruit in it)
Pour bottle(s) of Moscati over fruit
Let mixture sit about 10 minutes

Serve and enjoy!
