AUGUST’S FEATURED RED WINE
This expressive Rhône-style blend brings together the best of Grenache and Syrah. Bright, juicy flavors of ripe red berries and fresh raspberry mingle with darker berry notes, violet, white pepper, and warm spice. Grenache adds freshness and a silky texture, while Syrah brings depth, richness, and a subtle savory character.
Smooth tannins and balanced acidity lead to a lingering finish with hints of spice, soft herbs, and cocoa. Fresh, elegant, and beautifully layered, this is a blend with plenty of character and an effortlessly smooth finish.
Laura Lorenz’s Grilled Flat Iron Steak Caprese Salad is everything we love about summer cooking: smoky, perfectly grilled steak layered with juicy tomatoes, creamy fresh mozzarella, fragrant basil, and a drizzle of balsamic. It’s an effortless match for our Grenache-Syrah, whose vibrant red berry flavors, subtle spice, and silky texture complement the richness of the steak while bright acidity keeps every bite feeling fresh. Together, they create a pairing that’s bold, balanced, and worthy of lingering over.
AUGUST’S FEATURED WHITE WINE
Albariño is a vibrant, refreshing white wine grape with roots in the Iberian Peninsula, particularly northwest Spain and Portugal. Known for its lively acidity and expressive aromatics, it has also found a wonderful home in Lodi, California.
Lodi’s warm Mediterranean climate is tempered by cooling breezes from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, helping the grapes retain their natural freshness and aromatic character. The result is a bright, beautifully balanced wine with notes of citrus, crisp apple, and stone fruit, often complemented by a subtle touch of minerality.
Laura Lorenz’s Herbed Goat Cheese Spread is the kind of appetizer that disappears almost as quickly as it’s served. Creamy goat cheese, fresh dill and parsley, bright lemon zest, and a touch of garlic create a vibrant, herb-forward bite that pairs beautifully with our Albariño. The wine’s crisp acidity and lively citrus and stone fruit notes complement the tangy cheese, while its refreshing finish keeps every bite feeling light, fresh, and ready for another taste.
