Sat., Oct. 15 - Marty McCabe, Valkyrie Selections
(ORGANIC) Clear gold colored in the glass with a fine and persistent bead, this biodynamic bubbly is a staff favorite around here. Nicely structured and complex with aromas of white flowers on the nose. The palate is creamy, grounded by balanced acidity, with flavors of white and yellow fruit, hints of toasted nuts and nice minerality. A killer partner for savory appetizers, spicy sushi or simply prepared fish.
Clear yellow in the glass with aromas of white flowers, apricot and peach. On the palate, this wine is lean and fresh with terrific acidity, more light fruit flavors and a hint of stony minerality. A breezy white to sip on its own, we also love it as a match with savory appetizers like arancini, smoky blue fish pate or a big bowl of steamers.
(ORGANIC) Golden colored in the glass with aromas of white peach, citrus and herbs. On the palate this wine is textured and fresh, with flavors of juicy tropical fruit and flowers, balanced out by crisp acidity. A true crowd pleaser that would delight sauvignon blanc and chardonnay drinkers alike, this is a terrific wine to match with broiled or fried fish, creamy pastas or roasted fall vegetables.
(ORGANIC) Clear ruby colored in the glass with violet edges. On the nose this organic red is fresh and breezy, with aromas of wild red berries, roses and hints of spice. The palate is fruit-forward, bright and balanced with more red fruit flavor, zippy acidity and a clean, crisp finish. A terrific match with savory antipasti or charcuterie, this would also play well with turkey or pork dishes.
(ORGANIC) Deep garnet colored in the glass with aromas of black fruit, violets, cedar and spice. On the palate there’s loads of juicy black and red fruit flavors reined in by nicely present acidity, fine tannins and a touch of stone. The finish is marked by fruit and sweet spice making this a perfect barbeque wine – match it with a juicy burger, sticky ribs or a steak.
