New Wine? Maybe to Some!

Consumer research done for the Wine Institute has found that many wine drinkers are naturally adventurous, into the discovery of new wine flavors. You'll find Spanish white wines like albarinos, and malbecs from Mendoza Valley in Argentina, with a growing interest in Rieslings, pinot noir based wines and dry roses, grabbing interest all around. For example, for many years, Americans rejected most roses but white zin. But according to the Nielsen Company, roses priced $9 and up grew about 50% in dollars and volume over the year ending in February. It's just a great food wine and versatile drink especially in warm weather.. It's usually dry with crisp acidity, fresh fruit flavors and well balanced thirst quenching mouth feel. Select one of these great rose now available; Canto Perdrix Tavel $14.99, Commanderie de la Bargemone Coteaux d'Aix en Provence $15.99 and Patton Valley Pinot Noir Rose $15.99.
