J. Roget Spumante

"J. Roget Spumante American sparkling wine is a beautiful straw color. 100% stainless steel tanks are used for the base wine and then secondary fermentation takes place in the Charmat tanks. This process preserves the fruit character, making a fresher, more flavorful wine. This American sparkling wine is medium-dry with crisp fruit flavors. The aromas of apple and pear are balanced with a bouquet of toasty yeast notes and floral nuances. This sparkling wine is sweet with outstanding fruit flavor and a long smooth finish. Blends beautifully into full-flavored cocktails. Alcohol 9.5%."

    Liberty Creek White Zinfandel

    8.5% alcohol. Vinted in California by E&J Gallo.

    "A delicate fresh strawberry bouquet distinguishes our White Zinfandel from our other blush wines. Salmon-hued and with a bright cherry flavor profile, this wine is light-bodied with a crisp finish, making it perfect for friendly get-togethers on hot summer afternoons.
    The quintessential wine for a wine and cheese soirée on the patio, it can also take its place at the dinner table next to cheese ravioli in lemon cream sauce or linguini with fresh pesto and pine nuts. A crisp Chinese chicken salad, or pork chops with applesauce would make excellent companions for this wine as well."
