Wineries Keep An Eye on the White House

Wineries keep an eye on the Whitehouse

Wednesday, December 17, 2008 this AP article on pressdemocrat.com featured a great quote for Texas wines:

Lettie Teague, executive wine editor for the magazine Food & Wine, said K-J chardonnay seems a good choice for modern times — popular and reasonably priced at around $11 a bottle.

She envisions a bipartisan presidential table graced with blue state reds and red state whites.

“As a New Yorker, I’d like to see some New York wines represented — we were a huge state for him,” she said with a laugh, suggesting a sauvignon blanc or cabernet from the North Fork region or a Finger Lakes Riesling. Other picks: a Washington state merlot, “because I feel they really do that grape well,” a hearty California zinfandel and “to show that he is an all-inclusive sort, I would throw in a viognier from Texas.”

Warm-up with a hot glass of Kriskindel Wine

drink it warm!

 

This month we will be serving warm Kriskindel wine.  Like gluwein (glow wine) from Germany, this is a wine that is meant to be served warm.  We suggest serving it in a crock-pot set on low at your next holiday open house.  Or if you are enjoying it by yourself, pour some into your favorite holiday mug, microwave it for one minute, then sip carefully. 

This wine is already spiced, or mulled, so it will fill your house full of clove and cinnamin smells.  Remember not to boil this wine, or it will evaporate quickly!

Enjoy this Texas wine holiday treat at Salado Wine Seller, or take home a bottle with you to share with family and friends.  Made by Oberhof Wine Cellars, Fredericksburg, Texas.
