berries with the fruit forward style of White Zinfandel. Try it with spicy

MANGO CITRUS SYMPHONY A wonderful melding of mango and
citrus flavors.  This wine goes well with spicy foods and fish.

balances he sweet, freshness brought to this wine by the ripe flavors of
the peaches and apricots.  A wonderful pairing with chicken.

STRAWBERRY WHITE MERLOT  A  refreshing,  easy drinking
blush  with natural strawberry flavors weaving around the berry notes
brought by the White Merlot.  Sip by itself or enjoy it with pork off the   
grill.

RED WINES
Refers to how light or heavy a
wine feels in the mouth. Full
body wines are often
accompanied by complex and
lasting flavors. Light  body
wines are thin or watery, but  
not necessarily inferior wines.
Body simply refers to a wines
overall nature.

Tannin
Structural components in wine
that effects color and, ageing
potential. Can cause  a drying
sensation in the mouth, similar
to that of a green banana.
Tannins are associated with
red wines and are created
when the yeast interacts with
the grape skins. Overly tannic  
wine will mellow with age.

Complex
Refers to wine having many
different flavors and facets.

Finish
Refers to how long the flavors
of a wine lasts in the mouth
after drinking.

Dry
Refers to wine in which all of
the available sugar has been
fermented into alcohol. Off-dry
refers to a wine that has a hint
of sweetness.

Crisp
A wine that is high in acidity
while  still maintaining
balanced flavors.  These wines
are usually quite refreshing on
the palate.

Balanced
A balanced wine is one in
which no one flavor stands out
too much.

Oak
Wine can have oak add during
fermentation or it can be aged
in oak.  Oak being used can
be American, French,
Hungarian, toasted or
un-toasted.  Most red and
some white wines come into
contact with oak. This contact
will develop flavors of spice,
vanilla and wood in the wine
as well as tannins.
