As the American trade deficit continues to dip we’ll contribute to the Buy American campaign with an interesting assortment of Made-in-the-U.S.A wines. We’ll start off with three offerings from Rosenblum Cellars, historically noted for their flavorful Zinfandels. The winery has created a new line dedicated to the American Spirit with three interesting, affordable wines, the Great American Wine Company Chardonnay, Red Blend and Cabernet Sauvignon. Terrific everyday wines at a reasonable price.
From there we’ll step up to three heavyweights that earned very high scores from the wine critics beginning with a Morgan Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir. That will be followed by a Haywood Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon and a Landmark Sonoma Syrah.
Please join the flavorful tasting and merriment with your host, Bill Callahan, who, like Bruce Springsteen, was born in the U.S.A.
See you this weekend.
