In this edition of SSWC blog, Tommy and I are tasting Heart of the Lake by Weis Vineyards. Located on Keuka Lake in Upstate New York, Weis Vineyards is one of our favorite Finger Lakes wineries and this wine does not disappoint. A fairly new hybrid created at Cornell, this grape is a cross between Reisling and Cayuga White. We really enjoyed this wine finding it complex with a sweetish start and dryer minerally finish. A super interesting wine that we can’t wait to share with our peeps! We would love to hear your thoughts about Heart of the Lake.

My dear friend Sallie Nijhof brought one of her favorite go-to wines out on the boat for us to taste, La Crema Sonoma Coast Chardonnay. I'm not generally a Chardonnay lover, but I did enjoy this bright, not overly oaked Chardonnay. I'd love to hear what your tasting experience with La Crema Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is!

Sorry that I left you with a hanging CHEERS, Sal!

My friend Vickie and I took advantage of a beautiful evening and setting to taste this fabulous Saldo Zinfandel from Prisoner. I haven't tasted a wine from Prisoner/Saldo that I didn't love and this one didn't disappoint. Full-bodied, fruit forward and absolutely delicious, I highly recommend Saldo Zinfandel. Would love to hear your thoughts! Don't forget to take advantage of the Red, White and YOU Sale at the NH Liquor and Wine Outlet and get 15% OFF a case of American Wine!!!

A friend challenged me to “Just Do It”... don't worry about being perfect... no makeup... just me, doing what I love. So, here is my first tasting video, and I'm starting out with one of our go to wines. We always have Pine Ridge Vineyards Chenin Blanc + Viognier White Blend on hand and hopefully this tasting explains why. An easy drinking, yet complex white that starts out soft and smooth and finishes bright, this white blend is delicious on it’s own but will pair well with a variety of foods from seafood to creamy and even spicy. Would love to know what you experience when tasting this wine!
