Greetings G2GO tasters! We are nearing the weekend and we have a great selection of wines to pair with Spring Break and SXSW. Each wine can serve all of your needs. Whether it’s by the pool, on the porch, at the grill, visiting with friends or before the concert we suspect all of them will enhance your relaxation. We will also have a surprise 6th wine to pour! However, you will have to make the trip to enjoy this new discovery. The tasting is free and the education is priceless! Here’s the lineup:

2010 Solletico Prosecco $18 (100% Prosecco Brut Sparkling Wine from the Veneto region of Italy)
*super crisp & “light” … refined “tickling” bubbles … fresh apple-pineapple-hint of quince … drinks like $25!

2010 Stella Pinot Grigio $10 (100% Pinot Grigio from the Umbria region of Italy)
*Stella = “star” in Italian, a fine title for this wine … truly “shines” regarding taste and quality … fresh peach-yellow apple-melon … terrific!

2010 Weingut St. Urbans-Hof Riesling $18 (100% Riesling from the Mosel region of Germany)
*simply an amazing wine … outstanding vintage … an apple orchard in a bottle + a “hint of sweet” for balance … excellent!

2010 Alain Jaume & Fils “Haut de Brun” Côtes-du-Rhône Rosé $14 (dry rosé of Grenache from the Southern Rhône of France)
*dry Rosé is sunshine, a child’s laughter, the “wag of a puppy’s tail”, and friendship trapped in a bottle … bright red fruits-dry-refreshing!

2009 Cedarville Vineyards Zinfandel $21 (Estate Bottled Zinfandel+ Petite Sirah blend from El Dorado, California)
*this is “old school” ZIN … gnarly-punchy-sinister … tiny production & a G2GO favorite … boysenberry-blackberry-plums … great juice!

We look forward to your visit, and always …
