 Galen Glen Winery Gewurtztraminer 2009

This crisp, refreshing gewurtztraminer has aromas of honeysuckle and spice with delicious flavors of fresh fruits.  It is pale yellow in color and has a long and pleasant finish.  Great when paired with spicy foods. 

Bogle Phantom 2007  This excellent dark ruby red dry wine is a blend of petite sirah, old vine zinfandel and old vine mourvedre.  It has rich aromas of black pepper, dark red berries and spice with aromas of blackberries and blueberries.  Richly complex, it will only get  better with age, but wonderful to drink now.  Great when paired with hearty foods like beef and lamb.     UPCOMING EVENTS (click on the highlighted links) Annual soup day at Manatawny Creek Winery Saturday, November 6th.   Apple onion soup made and paired with Vidal Blanc, on the deck from 12-5.   Bob Sica, a wonderful guitarist and singer, will be performing 2-5 that day.    Nouveau Weekend  November 20-21 on the Lehigh Valley Wine Trail.  Visit Lehigh Valley wineries including Pinnacle Ridge, recently listed in Opus One, a compendium of the BEST 4,000 wineries in the world!  Brad Knapp and Pinnacle Ridge were listed as a RISING STAR, and outstanding honor!  Congratulations Brad!!
