April 13 12th Ave Bottle Shop Tasting Notes

As the temperatures keep rising and we continue into the Holidays-on-Sunday season (Easter, Mother’s Day) we are always on the lookout for a white bubbly wine that will do great at Sunday Brunch. This week’s white wine of note was Garganega Frizzante. 100% Soave grapes gave us a mouth feel that wasn’t too dry, clean and crisp, with great bubbles on the tongue, almost effervescent. This would be great in a mimosa, and hard to beat at $13.99.

The note worthy red wine this evening was a Cabernet Sauvignon by Sawtooth Ridge in California. It had pleasant deep red fruit that was slightly dry due to a medium amount of tannins which would let this wine stand very well with any dinner that included red meat, especially a burger. Easy at $15.99 a bottle.
