Wine Sampling
La Marca Prosecco, Italy
Crafted in the heart of Italy, the delicate La Marca Prosecco has a pale, golden straw color and sparkles with lively effervescence. Opening with aromas of fresh-picked citrus and honeysuckle blossoms, the crisp, clean palate brings fruity notes of green apple, juicy peach and ripe lemon, framed by hints of minerality. The finish is light and refreshing with a tantalizing hint of sweetness. ABV 11%
Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand
Whitehaven captures intense notes of passionfruit, lemongrass and white peach in this bold, refreshing Sauvignon Blanc. Superbly structured and elegantly balanced, with fresh-snipped greens and citrus characteristics that blend effortlessly with notes of tropical fruit. Each glass boasts the long, clean finish of classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. With its bright character and crisp finish, it pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, spicy Asian dishes, grilled chicken or summer salads with fruits and veggies picked straight from the garden. ABV 13%
Talon Winery Wingspan Red, Grand Valley, Colorado
Talon Winery’s Wingspan Red is a Bordeaux-style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
