Kosher, Vegan and Gluten Free

Givon 2016 Kosher 100% Cabernet Sauvignon2016 Givon Kosher 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Many guests ask me about vegan wines. There are some wines that will have the “V” or “VG” symbol on them to designate vegan. However, if you can’t find one, why not try a Kosher wine? A Kosher wine by Jewish law may not contain any animal products. Regular wine makers may use eggs whites, gelatin, milk products and fish bladders for fining (making the wine clear), however, it is not allowed in a Kosher wine!
A nice inexpensive Kosher option is the 2016 Givon 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. It is produced in the upper Galilee in Israel, by Barkan Wine Cellars and is more of a new world style wine. It is also Kosher for Passover which means it has not come into contact with any wheat products, so it’s a good choice for those that are gluten sensitive.  This dry red wine has 13% avb and a lovely garnet color. On the nose you’ll find aromas of cherry and strawberry and on the palate additional notes of raspberry, plum, oak, cedar, vanilla and earth. The finish came in at around 23 seconds.
So, if you’re looking for a wine under $8 which is vegan, kosher or gluten free, this is a nice option.

The Not so Urban Pub Crawl

Sedona Pub CrawlSedona Pub Crawl
​When I’m in an Urban city, I always enjoy bar hopping and mixing with the locals. Pub crawls are famous in many of the major cities, and though Sedona doesn’t offer that urban environment, we have some fabulous pubs with excellent grub! So, this month I started our pub crawl in the Sedona area and the Verde Valley. One of my favorite pubs is PJ’s Pub in the Sedona Village (Village of Oak Creek) which has great food and Mooney’s in Hillside in Sedona. We’ll be offering more than Five locations across our towns plus tours to any of our microbreweries in the area. This will be a driving pub crawl in our Honda HRV for up to four people. So call today at 928-963-1866 to book your “Not so Urban Pub Crawl” and rub elbows with the locals.

Take time to smell the roses

Rune 2017 Rose'Rune 2017 Rose'
​It’s time to smell the roses, and the 2017 Rune Rose’ is an excellent Arizona Rose’. The color is a beautiful rose gold salmon. The nose is very inviting with aromas of rose, apricot, strawberry, minerals and lychee. The palate showcases additional layers of strawberry, apricot, vanilla, almond and a freshly mown lawn.  It was crisp and refreshing but also had a soft mouth feel. This dry rose had a nice finish at around 30 seconds. It is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Petit Sirah and has 13.8% ABV.  The fruit was sourced from the Pillsbury Vineyard in Wilcox. I paired it with a delicious arugula and avocado salad that created an umami experience.  If you’re up in the Verde Valley, you can now purchase the Rune Rose’ at Carlson Creeks tasting room in Old Town Cottonwood. So stop to smell the Roses and drink this delicious Rose’.

Get Blacklisted!

Golden Rule Vineyards 2014 BlacklistedGolden Rule Vineyards 2014 Blacklisted
This is not the exciting TV series nor the 1950’s Hollywood hunt but an amazing wine from Golden Rule Vineyards. I love a juicy steak; thus I found the perfect pairing, and thankfully wasn’t blacklisted from my home. The 2014 Golden Rule Vineyards Blacklisted is a delicious blend of 60% Cabernet, 20% Cabernet Franc and 20% Petit Verdot and hales from our newest AVA in Wilcox, Arizona. This Bordeaux style blend had a beautiful garnet/mahogany color, 14.7% alcohol and a screw top closure. The complex nose offered aromas of blackberry, vanilla, oak, cedar and all spice. On the palate there were additional flavors of cherry, strawberry, and cocoa. It had a lovely lingering finish at around 30 seconds and was nicely full bodied. I had a little left the next day and it held up beautifully.  You could hold onto this wine to age for a few more years. So, get Blacklisted and try this delightful wine!
