Haily Sundet, our Froggy Wine Specialist, of Republic National Distributing is back with another episode of Wine Wednesday.  Wine Wednesday is sponsored by Bottle Barn Liquors, with 3 Fargo locations. 

This week's wine: Hartford Court Russian River Pinot Noir 

Winemaker notes:  Aromas of black cherry, blueberry, black currant, allspice and loam are followed by flavors of wild raspberries, dark berries and a crushed rock minerality. The dense entry is followed by a sweet and juicy mouth feel, supported by acidity, silky tannins and a subtle earthy finish.

This week's wine: Markham Merlot

Winemaker notes: Our Estate Vineyards provide the backbone to this vibrant Napa Valley Merlot. Aromas of ripe raspberry and plum jam emerge from the glass, enhanced by caramel notes from oak aging. A bright entry of red fruit flavors balanced by stunning minerality and notes of rich, velvety chocolate-covered cherries. A “Cab-Lovers” Merlot with structure, mid-palate weight, and a long, round finish.

Haily Sundet, our Froggy Wine Specialist, of Republic National Distributing is back with Hailey's Haunted Hallo-Wine Takeover.  Hailey has been finding wine pairings that go with our favorite trick or treating candy this entire month.  

This Week's Wine: Zardetto Prosecco  - Paired with an Sweat Tarts

Wine Advocate-Conegliano, Veneto, Italy- "One of the finest widely available Proseccos in the marketplace, this fresh, lively wine exhibits notions of orange rind, brioche, and honeyed grapefruit. Light-bodied, effervescent, and packing plenty of flavor in its delicate personality."

2nd Wine of the Week: Decoy Limited Cabernet Sauvignon - Paired with Peppermint Patty

Effortlessly refined, this vintage of Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon charms with aromas of blackcurrant, plum and blackberry. Take a sip and find a smooth interlude of flavors. It is delightfully balanced in tannins and brisk acidity, perfect for any occasion that calls for a little something special.
