Wines for the Weekend: Memorial Day Wine On The Water Edition
Kick Off Memorial Day Weekend with Our Special Wine Tasting!
Memorial Day weekend is just around the corner, and what better way to prepare for your celebrations than by discovering the perfect wines for your picnic baskets and BBQ spreads? Join us this Wednesday for a wine tasting featuring four crowd-pleasing bottles that are ready to elevate your long weekend—from sun-soaked afternoons to fire-lit evenings.
We’ve selected a lineup that pairs effortlessly with classic Memorial Day fare, so whether you're grilling burgers, roasting veggies, or just snacking on chips and dip in the sun, we’ve got you covered.
Here’s what we’re pouring:
Faustino Rosé – Rioja, Spain
A refreshing, elegant rosé made from Tempranillo grapes, this wine is pale pink in color with notes of wild strawberry, red cherry, and a hint of citrus zest. It’s dry, crisp, and vibrant—the kind of bottle that begs to be enjoyed outdoors.
Perfect Pairing: Deviled eggs, pasta salad, grilled shrimp skewers, and fruit platters.
Avignonesi ‘Da-Di’ Sangiovese – Tuscany, Italy
This fun, juicy red is made entirely in clay amphorae, giving it a pure expression of Sangiovese with soft tannins and bright red cherry and cranberry flavors. It’s light enough to chill slightly on a hot day, yet complex enough to pair with your grilled mains.
Perfect Pairing: BBQ chicken, burgers, caprese salad, and grilled sausages.
Ancient Peaks Zinfandel – Paso Robles, California
Bold and fruit-forward, this Zin brings flavors of blackberry, plum, black pepper, and just a touch of smoke. It’s a robust wine with a smooth finish—built for barbecue.
Perfect Pairing: Ribs, brisket, grilled portobello mushrooms, and baked beans.
Architect Cabernet Sauvignon – California
Structured and modern, this Cabernet delivers ripe blackcurrant, cocoa, and toasty oak on a full-bodied frame. It's the kind of wine that can stand up to a hearty holiday feast or anchor your evening by the fire pit.
Perfect Pairing: Grilled steak, loaded burgers, mac & cheese, and corn on the cob.
Join us this week to taste all four wines, stock up for the weekend, and get inspired for your Memorial Day menu. Whether you're planning a picnic in the park or firing up the grill, these wines are ready to raise a glass to summer’s unofficial start.
Cheers to the long weekend—see you at the tasting!
