Gold
— Verde Vineyards 2011 St. Croix
St. Croix is, in my opinion, the very best of the red hybrids. Giacomo
Verde's St. Croix is utterly delicious. It has abundant fruit, right up front, and a luscious quality from
soft tannins, but it does not lack the acidity any wine needs to go with food.

citrus and peach; flavors which are enjoyed through a long finish. The bright acidity makes it a perfect accompaniment to bolder foods that
would be traditionally paired with a white wine.

or simply enjoy a glass with friends. Developed by Cornell University in the 1970's, Cayuga has a complex ancestry that includes Zinfandel along with
American grapes. Serve slightly chilled.
