April 14th is a historic day in American history. Not only does it mark ex-spouse day, but you might it also marks the day that the Titanic sunk in 1912 and the night that Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth in 1865. On Harrowing days in history, we remember moments like these to ensure that history does not repeat itself. Take time to reflect on your own personal history, triumphs, failures, and exes alike. Remember where you’re going and look clearly at what has been. For every historic moment in your life there’s a good American wine out there to help you in your reflections. My choice when reflecting, is Sequoia Grove Napa Valley Chardonnay, an old world styled wine with new world chardonnay treatments, this wine is the manifestation of reflection and growth. Here’s to looking at the past and building a better, brighter future!
ORIGIN
Napa, California
Grapes
Chardonnay
Tasting Notes
Very pale gold in color, this classic Chardonnay is the ideal balance of Old World restraint with California sunshine. The aromas and flavors are delicate, with citrus, floral and mineral notes on a wine of fresh acidity and medium body.
Food Match
This is a very food-friendly wine and will go well with most dishes, from appetizers to soups to main courses. Try it with a just-picked spring lettuce and fresh herb salad, or with a mature, delicate brie cheese.
