Gin Cocktail

Sat, 08 Jun 2013 13:18:38 +0100

For the past weeks I have written about nothing but wine and I know not everyone enjoys wine. So for this week I decided to break out of my comfortable mold, a little bit, and try something new and different.

Prosecco wine with paired with your favored spirit (mine is Gin) takes the place of tonic and seltzer water and club soda very nicely. Firstly by substituting the Prosecco for it you are not watering down your drink. Secondly the Prosecco gives it a subtle sweet flavor that enhances the taste and smooths it out. the bubbles are fun and are slightly more intense. So for those who want to try something different but don't want to go too crazy you will like this. More professional and it happens to be hte new thing bartenders are doing down in NYC and the likes. Remember Prosecco is made from grapes and so is gluten free.

Brancott Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2012

Greetings Friends,

This week’s wine review is a New Zealand wine, from Brancott Estate, Sauvignon Blanc vintage 2012. For you grapefruit lovers out there this wine will not disappoint. The clear color, the potent grapefruit bouquet, and the crisp finish are all something to energetically anticipate. While you cannot mistake the taste/smell of the grapefruit its tartness does not overwhelm the wine. Now I am not a grapefruit fan personally, however I really like this wine. I enjoy dry wines, especially reds, and what I loved most about Brancott Sauvignon Blanc was that I could taste citrus fruits and peaches. Imagine, if you could, eating a fruit minus the natural sugar. This is what this wine is and yet it finishes clean and crisp. I can’t stress enough how the tartness doesn't overwhelm. You will want to chill this wine for sure. Lastly, I found this wine best suited for hot summer days, especially for you ladies out there who enjoy sitting poolside chatting with close friends. Brancott Estate Sauvignon Blanc wine will be the cherry on top to a great day with fabulous friends.
