I was recently introduced to a great summer white wine, New Age. It actually looks like a bottle of vodka at first glance, but don't be fooled; New Age is a very light, crisp white wine. The aroma and taste both provide a burst of peach and floral accents to the senses. New Age comes from Argentina and has a zesty citrus taste. It is actually one of Argentina's oldest and most popular wines, yet fairly new to the scene in the States. This particular wine is unique because you can also enjoy it on the rocks with your choice of lemon or lime, as if it were a cocktail! Also, for a little twist to your wine needs, you may fancy trying New Age Rose, which pairs great with any fruit juice as a cocktail! I recommend cranberry or grape juice. Delish! You can find New Age in any large grocery chain or liquor store, and it is actually reasonably priced around $10 a bottle. New Age (white) pairs well with spicy dishes, while Red goes great with barbeque! This Argentinian wine is a perfect end to the summer!
In order to ease into the fall season, the perfect wine to please your palate is Sweet Red. Sweet Red reminds me of a warm kiss on a cool autumn eve. I actually have a glass in hand now as I write! It possesses a lovely cherry taste, but in my opinion is not too sweet. It is velvety smooth going down, and evokes wonderful grape aromas. It is produced right here in the USA, in California. The Sutter Home brand is easy to find and very inexpensive. Sweet Red pairs well with grilled meats, or is also a great everyday indulgence by itself. You know what they say, a glass of red a day keeps the doctor away!
