We are excited to be running a special on several of my favorite wines from the 2021 vintage: The Grand Island Vineyards 2021 Chardonnay, Symphony, and Vin Gris. All three of these wines are characterized by good varietal character, solid fruit core, and pleasing acidity. The Chardonnay is a delightful medium body white wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes like shrimp ceviche, pork chops, and duck pate. The Symphony pairs well with heavily spiced dishes like Indian or Latin America food due to its slight residual sugar and floral character. The Vin Gris is wonderful as an aperitif, but also pairs well with just about any meat or vegetarian dish. Make sure to stop by and grab these wines before they are all gone.
2021 Chardonnay - See in Store
This wine is a brilliant hay hue with a hint of green in the meniscus. The initial aromas are peach, bartlett pear, corn silk, and fresh crème. The wine opens with a punch of Seville orange on the palate followed by a hint of oyster shell and brioche, while the mouthfeel manages to be both zippy with fresh acidity and juicy at the same time.
2021 Symphony - See in Store
The 2021 symphony pours a delicate straw hue. The initial aromas are pineapple, passionfruit, jasmine blossom, and star anise. The mouthfeel is dense with a playful sucrosity. A fresh burst of acid on the wine's finish is reminiscent of mandarin orange and kumquat.
2021 Vin Gris - See in Store
The wine pours a stunning soft pink hue. The initial aromas are of currant, oyster shell, cedar, and mandarin zest. As the wine opens, ripe notes of strawberry and watermelon intermingle with a hint of herb de province. This wine is pleasingly acidic with juicy mouthfeel and a hint of grip. The finish is long with candied orange peel and a hint of ginger root.
