End of friends’ Columbia County birthday celebration, a nice accompaniment to milk chocolate cake & overall good karma. Cherry life saver color, a gentle acidity & RS and slight frizzante makes the brachetto d’aqui one my fave dessert wines on the lighter side

Sometimes a drink is so outrageously delicious it bypasses any need for description- this is it. Suffice it to say this can pair w chocolate better than most

Wow. Strawberries/roses, great nose, the fizz helps balance the sugar and give it some lift..just loved this. Paired with chocolate dessert...

So light and fresh, very light purple color, bubbles are subtle. I will drink this all summer!

Sweet, bubbly, fruitalicious red is exactly the kind of uncomplicated wine I need today.

Brachetto grapes, juice is frozen until order is in, then fermented. Red fruit, minerality, light alcohol. Drink with thanksgiving leftovers or on Christmas morning.

Highly aromatic sweet strawberry red with a hint of spritz from Piedmont Italy.

(**) Soft, sweet, aromatic bubbly with raisins and black cherries. Med(-) body. Sweeter than Sangue di Giuda. Paired nicely with pork ribs and Italian bread dipped in olive oil.
