We love a glass of wine here at New Day, but we also really enjoy learning about it!
Ioana Bucur from Princess and Bear, a new wine shop in Seattle’s South Park neighborhood, joined New Day to do a taste test of three different wines with us!
Featured wines
1. Sparkling Rosé with our private label (Chardonnay, Chenin, Pinot Noir)
Hand-harvested grapes, sustainable agriculture domain from the Limoux region, the place where the sparkling wine was produced for the first time in the 15th century
Delicate bubbles, rich raspberry nose, a hint of soft stone fruit, friendly and festive sparkling rosé
Pairs well with pink-hued foods, such as shrimp salmon, lovely with fresh fruit desserts
2. 2020 Esperandieu (25% Roussanne, 20% Grenache Blanc, 20% Marsanne, 20% Vermentino, 10% Grenache Gris, 5% Muscat Petit Grains)
Organic agriculture and hand-harvested grapes
Small family domaine in Minervois, dating from 1918, built upon five generations of winemakers
The wine delivers complex aromas of fresh white peaches and pears
Beautiful substance, acidity, and finesse
Pairs well with fish, roasted vegetables, veal with mushrooms in lemon sauce…
3. 2019 La Jasse
Organic, tiny domaine with very old vines situated in the hillsides near Montpellier
Made by a woman, a former journalist, writer, and teacher who became a winemaker in her forties, she is now making award-winning wines
Rich, deep, complex blend of Syrah (gives the power of spice) and Grenache (a touch of round, ripe fruit), matured in neutral oak French barrels
Pairs well w/ Ribeye steaks, lamb, beef stew
