July- grapes get going!
Two photos, taken one month apart, show the progress of our grape clusters towards another bountiful harvest. In Yorkville the daytime temperatures are hitting 95° in the shade! After a day of heat, we like to unwind with a refreshing glass of chilled pink wine. We hope we can refresh your palates and senses with this monthly special.
Monthly Special: Drink Pink! We make our pink or rosé wine from Cabernet Franc grapes and call it Rosé de Franc. The wine is pink because red wine color comes from
the skins. In this case we remove the skins after only about 12 hours, then allow the wine to fully ferment so that it is dry. Finally, we add a splash of Malbec for a fruity and aromatic drink. It could be called "Cab Lite." It normally retails for $16, so our "3 for the price of 2" special means only $10.67 per bottle- saving 33%.
