Your Grape Therapy:

My last post asked “what makes you open a bottle of wine” and I received some very interesting responses…. ”work.. vacation… kids….stress… and my favorite response…..”I don’t need a reason to open a bottle of wine; it calls to me lest I forget”! 

Thanks for all your responses……..so let me leave you a very favorite recipe of mine that I received from a friend this summer….on 2^nd thought….come to our meeting and pick up a copy of the recipe at the registration table.  “Wolf Packer’s Sparkling Peach-Basil Sangria” has been on my table this summer, what’s been on your table?

My Wine pick of the month:

Vintner’s Almondage Champagne

Duplin Winery, Rose Hill, NC    (available only at the Winery and, of course, TSC!)

Vintner's Almondage is a sparkling wine that puts the exclamation point on many special occasions. This Duplin sparkling wine has a luscious taste of almonds and satisfies every indulgence.
Served over ice cream, paired with walnut cheesecake, or raised for a toast, Duplin Winery's Vintner's Almondage is sure to please even the most discerning champagne lovers.
