WINE NOTES            Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay: This is your typical ‘big’ chardonnay from California. It goes through a second fermentation that almost all reds and many whites experience called malo-lactic fermentation where the ‘malic’ or ‘green’ acids (apple, green grape) are converted to lactic acids which give the wine buttery, creamy and even vanilla notes. Complex, with large flavors of butter-poached golden apples, baked rolls and roasted nuts; it’s really a ‘food wine’ meant to be consumed with a meal allowing the characteristics of both to be highlighted.

                                    Merryvale “Scarmont” Sauvignon Blanc: This is a very robust sauvignon blanc which has actually been both fermented and aged in oak. This blends the best of both worlds with creamy notes of a Bordeaux blanc with good acid and ‘New World’ fruit of mango, guava and citrus. Sometimes rich dishes need a strong wine that still has a light profile and good acid to refresh the palate
