Here Comes the Sun Specials

May 2011 Volume 1, Issue 6Daves pick of the month is the Grand Cru International South African

Chenin Blanc. Dave recommends this unique white wine to any cus-

tomer that wants a refreshing, lightly floral mid-priced wine that they

can enjoy during the warm and humid days of summer.

Says Dave, I like the lemony scent and how fresh and crisp it is.! I love

drinking this Chenin Blanc while digging into steamed mussels or

shrimp

Called Steen when grown in South Africa, this graceful wine is light-

bodied with a pale straw colour. The fruity scented nose has hints of green apple and lemon with

a subtle floral bouquet rounding out the nose. On the palate the wine is delightfully refreshing.

$76 until June 30, 2011 Oak: 0 - Body: 2 - Sweetness: 2

Daves Wine Pairing Recommendation: Enjoy a glass of this lovely Chenin Blanc with Shrimp Fra

Diavolo.

Our Chilean Caremere, fermented on Merlot Genuwine Winery Dried Grape Skins

offers liberal flavors of fresh blackberries, plums and violet notes. Full-bodied, this

exquisite wine treats the palate to the richness of French toasted oak with smooth

silky tannins and succulent dark fruits. An excellent balance between freshness, fruit

A significant expression of Argentine culture, the tango is smooth, sexy and

romantic. The Argentine people have gained global attention for their flawless

tango and recently received international praise for perfecting their wines. It is

their love for both that has inspired our wine Tango.

Tango is a silky blend of three beloved Argentine white wines: Pinot Grigio,

Chardonnay and Torrontes. A perfectly balanced expression of style, notes of

apricot and apple with a hint of spice dance on your palate. Graced lightly with

toasted oak, this wine has a dramatic flair that will have you and your partner reaching for another glass


Additional Info

Pair your tango with light seafood, grilled vegetables and roasted red peppers.

Spotlight on Pinot Grigioneutral aromas, making it a very easy drink-

ing wine that pairs well with a variety of

foods. North American Pinot Grigio wines

Italian Pinot Grigios.

While Pinot Grigios heritage can be found

France and Italy.

Pinot Grigio, or Pinot Gris as its known

in France, is thought to be a mutant clone

of the Pinot Noir grape.

The climate where the Pinot Grigio grapes
