This is a new wine for Uncorked! $42.95 Aequorrea 2019 Spanish Springs Pinot Gris: This creamy, sumptuous wine has a rich elegant style, with mandarin oranges, nectarines, spice and flowers. It will work well with sweet potatoes, dressing, and even turkey! $31.95 Laurier 2018 Pinot Noir, Carneros: Another stunner for the turkey dinner, with plum, black cherry, cedar, and a hint of cinnamon. The finish is soft and protracted with silky tannins and spicy flavors $20.95 Hendry 2016 Napa Zinfandel, Blocks 7 & 22: For those that want a bit heavier wine with their turkey, this one can't miss!

Virtual Tasting A Focus on Reds Friday, January 29, 4:30 - 5pm Join us our next virtual wine tasting event featuring two stellar red wines. Both are new to the Uncorked menu, and are in this month's Guilt-free Red Wine Club. The tasting will start off with an overview of the wines, including wine making notes, growing conditions, and varietal expectations. We will then taste the wines together and share our thoughts. Here are the wines: Sullivan Vineyards 2015 Petite Verdot, Rutherford: $76.99 Silver Ridge 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon, Central Coast: $11.99 2-Bottle Tasting Pack: $80.10 (10% Discount) This is a dynamic wine duo! The Sullivan Vineyards Petite Verdot is a big, bold, highly structured wine, with plum and cherry flavors and a bit of chocolate. It also has some unique mineral notes which is more reminiscent of the Petite Verdot flavors of Bordeaux, where it is often a small percentage of a Bordeaux blend. On the Sullivan Vineyard website, this wine sells for $130, making Uncorked's pricing of $76.99 is a winner! The Silver Cabernet Sauvignon is a delicious value-priced, easy drinking Cab. Layered notes of black cherry, chocolate, cedar, and vanilla merge with soft tannins on the finish. And, for $11.99 it's a big, yummy wine!
