7 Gift Worthy Wines for Mother's Day
Mother’s Day is just around the corner and we’re giving you another list. Yes, another monthly list of wines perfect for your favorite girl. The Covid-19 crisis has made it difficult to celebrate Mother’s Day, but we’ve compiled seven worthy mom approved wines to make her day full of CHEERS!
Field Recordings Pet Nat Rose- This fizzy sparkling wine bares notes of pink grapefruit, strawberry and is perfect to carry into the summer months. Produced on the Central coast of California this varietal is sure to intrigue mom’s taste buds if she prefers bubbles. The “Dear Mom” special edition bottle doubles as a keepsake with a space available for a sentimental hand written note.
Bota Box RedVolution Wine- My mother’s love of Franzia’s Zinfadel peaked my curiosity at an early age for box wines. They say “A Mother knows Best” and obviously it’s true as most boxed wines are inexpensive, but have high value compared to bottled wines. A box wine contains three liters of wine which equals to four bottles of a standard 750ML bottle. This is the ultimate gift that keeps on giving at the fraction of the price. Add on this Boxxle box wine dispenser to keep the wine fresh for up to six weeks.
McBride Sisters Sauvignon Blanc- Since last week we celebrated International Sauvignon Blanc Day it’s a good time to highlight this fruit forward wine from the Marlborough region in New Zealand. The luscious aromas comprised of passionfruit, honey and lime are captivating and unique to the vineyards of the region.
Chloe Red No. 249 Red Blend- I finally started working my way through the Chloe collection, and surprisingly this blend happens to be my favorite along with their Pinot Grigio. This wine tastes like wealth for under $20. The oak flavors help provide a little kick of spice on the finish.
Albino Armani Pinot Grigio- This is the perfect bottle to add to mom’s collection if she’s a white wine lover. This dry and minerally Pinot from Italy allows the notes of apple, honeysuckle and pear to tickle the palate upon first sip. The light to medium bodied wine pairs well with lighter food dishes like scallops, halibut and even oysters.
J Vineyards + Winery Chardonnay- J Winery specializes in the Old World technique and produces a high quality range of white, sparkling and reds. This simple yet acidic Chardonnay is bursting with soothing citrussy notes like lemon and grapefruit. This wine is complex and easily a favorite of wine critics and enthusiasts alike.
Bénédicte et Stéphane Tissot Cremant de Jura-This sparkling rose wine is 60% Pinot Noir, 20% Poulsard and 20% Trousseau and hails from the Jura appellation of France. The intense fruit forward notes will transport you to the vineyard which specializes in cultivating wines that are biodynamic. Since quarantine has halted traveling to a French vineyard i picked this bottle up at a local wine shop, Avondale Food & Wine for $39. You can grab a bargain bottle of Tissot Marie Cremant du Jura from Total Wines & More for $18.
