April is here, and as we ease into spring, George Andrews from G.J. Andrews Food and Wine Shoppe stopped by our Classic 107 Studio to tell us about his wine selection for the this month of April.
It seems only fitting that as the days get longer and we can now spend more time enjoying the melting warmth of the sun, that George has picked a beautiful Zinfandel from the Cypress Vineyard in California.
The 2018 Cypress Vineyards Zinfandel has a medium-dark color with a youthful purple hue. Black cherry, cola nut and brambly aromas turn to notes of cranberry and pomegranate on the palate. This wine delivers intense red fruit flavors with a soft, bright finish.
This wine is a perfect pairing with smoky cheeses, in particular smoked English cheddars. It also is the ideal accompaniment to grilled meats such as pork, lamb, beef or fish.
This is a ultimmate wine for a spring day grilling on the patio. The fruitiness of this wine combined with some grilled meat and the warmth of spring sun, will sure to be the highlight of any weekend here in Winnipeg.
Pick up a bottle of the 2018 Cypress Vineyards Zinfandel, and perhaps some cheeses and a nice leg of lamb for the barbeque at G.J. Andrews Food and Wine Shoppe at 384 Academy Road. Thus is a perfect way to celebrate spring after a long Winnipeg winter.
