The Wines!!

 

Prosecco Babbo, Valdobiadene $14.99

from the vineyards of Vini Tonon, a prestigous estate in the Veneto, and the Siema Vineyards is made for Siema especially by Musaragno, also a family-owned and operated vineyard in the Veneto region. These estates specialize in organically grown grapes, although none of our proseccos are certified organic in order to keep the cost of the wine down.
Babbo means “Father” in Italian, and is so named because this is a fine, upstanding, serious version of
Prosecco. This is a classically fresh juicy Prosecco featuring subtle aromas of flowers and ripe fruit,
with refreshing acidity that is well integrated with flavors and effervescence. 


Netzl Rosanna, Rose' of Zweigelt $12.99

Juice from our most typical Zweigelt grapes, separated from the mash after 12 hours maceration time. light onion-red, vitalizing fresh fruit like strawberries and raspberries, animated acidity, the perfect summer companion!, a glass of wine for the spring and the summer, ideal with vegetable-, noodle- and fish-dishes or cold buffet.


Netzl Chardonnay Classic $18.99

A blend of two vineyards, which benefit from the cool winds off the Danube especially during the hot summer nights giving this Chardonnay its perfect harmony. Beautiful tropical fruit aromas are balanced by great acidity built on good minerality. Juicy fruit and some spice on the nose, yellow apples and melons along with
good acidity give this wine the fresh animating finish.

Works well with many different dishes from seafood to white meat dishes with cream or wine-sauce.

 
Meinklang Pinot Noir $16.99

There might not be a more careful and well-run biodynamic, organic wine estate anywhere in the world than that of Meinklang. The whole Michlits family live and work on this estate. Young Angela Michlits acts as winemaker, and her husband, Werner, manages the operation. Werner’s younger brother tends the cattle. Biodynamic farming is a giant step above organic. It is taking the cycle full circle, from maintaining cattle fed organic grain and grass to create organic fertilization for the grapes and fruit grown on the estate. Werner and Angela are committed to this biodynamic, organic lifestyle which keeps them very busy with thier estate and their three children. 
A perfect wine for sipping and to enjoy with chicken, salmon, penne with proscuitto… The hot summer days in southern Austria and the long cool evenings allow for wonderful ripening of the grapes and produce this powerful wine. It has ripe fruit notes with a mouthful of herbs, deep jammy flavors and a long easy finish. 


Netzl Carnuntum Cuvee' $16.99

"Cherry and pepper are the hallmarks of Zweigelt. Here, they are very aromatic: While muted on the nose, the palate is fresh, lively and very authentic. Merlot adds riper fruit while Blaufränkisch contributes more pepper and structure. This is a very harmonious blend. Lovely now but with the mileage to last a number…"
