Summer Wines You Need to Try Now

Written by  Administrator , on Sunday, 01 July 2012 16:01

Every season, we pop by Steamworks Wine Thief and ask Brandon Folkes to impart some of his wine wisdom. Here are a few of his summer picks, all available now at their shop at 375 Water Street.

Le Vieux Pin Vaïla Rosé, British Columbia - 2011

"I find that they have really captured the idea of a Provence style Rosé. It's dryer, but it definitely has some good toasty fruit to it: really nice strawberry and raspberry. I think it's phenomenal. Right now for a B.C. Rosé, I would say it's the best."

Dr. Loosen Villa Wolf Riesling, Germany - 2010

"It has a little bit of residual sugar, so it definitely has that sweetness value to it -- it's a very nice patio wine. If you want something that is easy drinking, this one is fantastic."

Innocent Bystander Moscato, Australia 

"This is something that is definitely trending more, and getting a lot of attention. It's a very sweet. Good if someone enjoys something very sweet, but not going into dessert wine. It's very aromatic, with very nice fruit, and very low alcohol."

Pairing: Light fruit desserts or cheese plates

Trevisiol Prosecco

"This is definitely becoming more popular, I see a lot of people moving towards it. This Prosecco is a little bit sweet. I think it's one of the better Proseccos that we carry."

Blasted Church Hatfield's Fuse

"It's really round on the palette, so this one is really well-balanced and slightly off-dry. It's not too over-bearing; I'd pair it with a light vinaigrette salad."
