I wanted to mention a few of our current favorite wines at Pass Health Foods!
Carolyn’s Pick:
Organic Merlot by Stellar Organics
I love merlot, and this South African variety is especially delicious. I feel like it has an additional depth and a bit of smokiness that isn’t usually present in other merlots I’ve had. It’s also vegan, sulfite-free, and is certified fair trade.
Gina’s Pick:
Organic Cabernet Franc by Domaine Bousquet Gaia
I love full bodied, dry reds, so this Cabernet Franc is my favorite. It has big, juicy flavors of ripe red berries, with smooth oak and spicy pepper notes. It’s the perfect wine for a cold Winter night! It’s a unique wine from Argentina that’s related to Cabernet Sauvignon that I’d definitely recommend trying!
Liz’s Pick:
Organic Malbec by Domaine Bousquet Virgen
I am a red wine drinker and this is a nice wine for any occasion. It’s smooth and hearty! I enjoy it with appetizers, dinner, or just a glass by itself. This organic malbec is sulfite-free, which I love- it’s an an all-around delicious choice!
Abby’s Pick:
Organic Moscato Spumante Dolce by La Cantina Pizzolato
I’m more of a bubbly, sweet, fruity wine drinker and this is my favorite moscato! Not only is it delicious, but it makes a great gift or wine to bring to gatherings (it has a gorgeous bottle)! At our wine tasting last month it was the most popular wine that people sampled!
Also this month, we’ve brought in a few sweeter wines after having customers ask. We’ve brought in a new organic reisling by Schlink Haus that’s a bit sweeter than the dry reisling we have by Art of Earth, and a new sweet white blend by Stellar Organics, as well as a unique, sweet German red called Dornfelder. I’d never heard of Dornfelder grapes before, but after doing some research it seems they’re the second most commonly grown grape in Germany. It’s a nice, fruity, easy drinking wine. Most red wines are served at room temperature, though Dornfelder is often recommended to be served slightly chilled.
We have a great assortment of organic wines at the store, so stop by this month to see our selection, we have something for everyone! We’re at 7228 W. College Drive in Palos Heights!
