Wine Wednesday 5/15
You know I am all about Wine Wednesday, nerdy facts, and new releases. So here is the lineup for today. 🍷
Introducing Fiddleneck
Back when the early days of American winemaking hit a fever pitch, a small group of vintners stumbled upon a region of the Mendocino Valley blanketed in what they then referred to as The Gold Cloak.
The Gold Cloak was comprised of millions of yellow flowers called Fiddlenecks - natural cover crops that protected and nurtured the land beneath them. The vintners rejoiced and planted the foundation for their vineyards upon this land and upon the first Harvest Moon, they reaped their reward. Such was the beginning of Fiddleneck, a collection of wines that captures the magic of Mendocino.
🍷 2018 Fiddleneck Pinot Noir
Mendocino County, California | $28
Earthy, Light. Bright and intriguing notes of cranberry, red cherry and wild strawberry on a textured palate with round tannins and a juicy finish. Pair with roasted chicken over pasta or Gruyere cheese.
2018 Fiddleneck Pinot Noir starts shipping Friday 5/17. Available for Local Pickup beginning Friday 5/17.
🍷 2016 Fiddleneck Merlot

Earthy, Bold. Spiced plum, black cherry, vanilla and sweet tobacco notes on a medium-bodied frame with soft tannins and a lingering finish. Pair with grilled flatiron steak topped with blue cheese butter.
And then some other releases.
