Wines of the Week May 31

Oliver Winery has a nice portfolio of wines to meet the needs of connoisseurs at every stage. Why not keep your money in state and support the local economy first. One out of every eight bottles that scans thru the register at the local grocery store is Oliver's Soft Red wine.

Last summer Oliver introduced the Harvest wines: Strawberry, Mango, and Black Cherry! Stacey likes mixing harvest wines with 7up for a light and refreshing summertime cocktail. When you look for a Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz (rated 90 points- Dine magazine), White Zinfandel, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, or Gewurztraminer, try Oliver Wines first.

Wine of the week May 9th

The name, " Two Vines" describes the trellis system that separates the vines which allows for more sunlight to the actual grapes. This wine comes from Washington state's Columbia Valley. This area is on the same latitude as Bordeaux in France and each produce fabulous wine.

This cabernet is very smooth and polished with slight cherry and blueberry flavors throughout. The fantastic finish reveals hints of cocoa, yummy! This is truly one of the easiest drinking bottles I have had. The retail is between $6.99 and $7.99.

Tommy's Wine of the Week

Chateau Ste Michelle

Sauvignon Blanc

Chateau Ste Michelle, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, clean and refreshing style of sauvignon blanc from Washington State. It shows aromas and flavors of sweet citrus and dried herbs. This wine pairs perfectly with Stacey's chicken and zucchini sauteed in olive oil and Ste Michelle Sauv Blanc. Its delicious and light, just in time for summer! Chill and enjoy a glass with dinner!
