FEATURED WINE FOR THE WEEKEND
|
|
|
|
Margins Chenin Blanc from 2019 is organically farmed and sees thirty days of skin contact during fermentation. This makes it technically an orange wine, a crisp refreshing Chenin Blanc, with the tannic structure of a light red.
|
|
'Shade' from Basket Range Wine is another wonderful natural red blend. 60% Pinot Noir, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Merlot. This red features bright acid and great structure. Herbal notes surround a slight tartness of cranberry with some pepper spice on the nose. A nice red to get you back in the mood for reds in general as we head into the colder months.

Negroni Week 2020
Negroni Week is a charity event that has typically been held in restaurants and bars since 2013 in support of various charities. However, since the restaurant industry has been upended in recent months the event is going digital to try and raise funds for those bars and restaurants that are struggling. So bust out the Campari, a little Gin, and some vermouth and head on over to the link below to contribute.

How to make a Negroni
This part is simple. First you will need:
1oz Dry Gin
1oz Italian Red Bitter Liqueur
1oz Sweet Vermouth
Pour over ice, stir, and garnish with an orange twist.
Most gins will do, but you will want to lean toward a more dry and less botanical variety. Also, as far as Italian Red Bitter Liqueur goes you can use Campari if you want it more bitter and with a bit more alcohol, or Aperol for a softer and sweeter experience.
