A Pair of Drinkers

Hello Wine Lovers!

Fall is officially here and the leaves are changing to vibrant colors, there is the smell of burning logs in the air, you wake up with frost on your lawn and you anticipate the upcoming holidays and family get togethers.

Here is two wines you can bring to your get togethers that will not force you to take out a second mortgage and will impress your family and friends!

Round Hill Oak Free Chardonnay is my first selection to talk about. You ask "Why is he talking about Chardonnay when I know he doesn't like most Chardonnays?" Well I'll tell ya... this is not like most California Chardonnay due to the fact this wine has not even been close to an oak barrel. It is clean and crisp with bright fruit flavors of green apple, lemon and pear with a soft finish that lingers in your mouth. At $6.99 you will be blown away.

The next wine for today's entry is Tilia Cabernet from Argentina. This bottle will set you back $7.99 and will also floor you! Tilia is the Latin name for Linden, which is a traditional tree in Mendoza whose flowers are used to make a relaxing herbal tea. Many vineyard workers and their families enjoy a cup of this tea after a long day working the vines. This wine is sustainably farmed which is another positive! You will find a dark purple color with a nose of sweet spice, red fruits and a touch of tobacco. The palate will give you cassis fruit, red currant and a touch of cedar. It finishes soft with enough tannin to add structure and length to the finish.

You will not go wrong when you show up at your friend's house or family's house with these bottles in hand!

Cheers
