Villa Amoroso Nero d'Avola I.G.T.

Sicily's premier grape Nero d'Avola is like Cabernet Sauvignon to California--the two go hand in hand. Nero d'Avola's bold flavors contrast the non-vintage wine's light red profile. Villa Amoroso's vibrant version offers flavors of blackberry, plum, sweet spice, and smoke, with a sultry finish. This is a wine for food lovers, especially beef dishes like stews, burgers, and even meatloaf.

2017 DOC Bianchi Malbec

This silky Argentinian red is made from handpicked grapes, grown at the foot of the Andes in San Rafael, Mendoza. 2017 Bianchi Malbec is an oak-aged wine with plum and black cherry aromatics, and a note of smoke that persists on the mouth, ending in a round and harmonious finish.

2016 LES MURAIRES COUP DE ROSÉ

This Côtes de Provence Rosé from Bernard Magrez pleases with a light, succulent nose and fresh palate. Expressing the elegant and fine terroir, this blend of Mediterranean Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault grapes is most refreshing when served chilled.

2016 Paisley Patch South East Australia Verdelho

This wine is pale straw in color with some green highlights. The bouquet shows lifted aromas of pineapple, mango, and lime zest. On the palate, zesty citrus and melon are complemented by racy minerality and balanced acidity

 

La Petite Tour White Blend

La Petite Tour winery is a highlight of California’s wine scene, and this white blend, which was originally only made in small lots, has remained a favorite. La Petite Tour Classic White is a delicately aromatic, medium-bodied wine with flavors of ripe pear and surprisingly bright citrus notes. It’s a versatile food wine that pairs well with fish, grilled chicken or vegetables, and we’ve found that it’s the bottle that thrills white wine fans, and converts red wine drinkers

Rosemont Estates Traminer/Riesling

What is this White blend of Trainer and Riesling:  Rosemount Traminer Riesling has a spicy, tropical fruit aroma reminiscent of lychees and an exotic scent, with a generous, soft palate. The Riesling component adds elegance to the finish, with lifted, floral flavors and a fine acidity which balances the wine to perfection.

 

Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2015

This next wine selected at our fine dinning restaurant (specialty restaurants) on the Royal Caribbean cruise line, was a Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand.  When all else fails (price as well) You go with the old reliable.  This time I had a dijon and white wine sauce on a delicious cod over veggies. A very decent pairing.

Casillero Del Diablo Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva (Chile)

These next two wines  were selected at two fine dinning restaurants (specialty restaurants) on a Royal Caribbean cruise. With Chops supplying us with a beautifully cooked and seasoned Filet mignon.  I wanted a cross between a medium to heavy Cabernet and this one came through.

Which wine is the healthiest to drink

After speaking to my doctor about my blood pressure, my sugar intake, Cholesterol, and sodium levels.  But when she asked me about my weekly alcohol intake per week and what was I drinking. Thats where the wine conversation started.  We started to break down which of the two types of wines were the healthiest to drink as well as what makes one healthier than the other. I took her advice and figured the info she gave me and my research would be something interesting to share.  .
