Sat., Oct. 15 - Neil Deininger, Ruby Wines
Bright green-yellow in the glass with a persistent bead, this fun sparkler is fresh and bright with aromas of tropical fruit and citrus bouncing out of the glass. On the palate it’s dry, with loads of fruit, elegant acidity and a touch of minerality. A fun bubbly to pour any day of the week, this wine matches nicely with white meat – fish or poultry, broiled, baked or fried.
Pale yellow colored in the glass with a complex nose marked by scents of ripe pear, white peach and stone. On the palate this wine is breezy and fresh, with terrific fruit, tight acidity and a clean, crisp finish. A perfect aperitivo to sip on its own, it also works well with lighter veggie fare, crispy fries or savory roast chicken.
Golden colored in the glass with aromas of tropical fruit, lemon and candied ginger. On the palate this wine is rich but balanced with vibrant acidity, well-integrated oak and more yellow fruit flavors touched by hints of warm spice and vanilla bean. A chard lover’s chard – this pairs well with creamy pastas, fried clams, New England Clam Chowder.
Bright ruby colored in the glass with classic Piedmontese aromas of red fruit and violets. On the palate it’s lively, dry and fresh, with lots of red fruit flavors touched by hints of leather and spice. A dry wine that’s best enjoyed with food – this is a terrific wine to match with pizza, lasagna, mature cheeses, braised Italian sausages or seared steaks.
Deep garnet colored in the glass with aromas of blackberry, blueberry, tobacco and cedar. On the palate this wine is rich and full-bodied, with flavors of dried cranberry and blackberry, touched by hints of toasty oak. A full-bodied wine for full-bodied fare – match this one with savory stews, short ribs or roasts.
