The Seeker Sauvignon Blanc
This crisp, refreshing sauvignon blanc is typical of so many sauvignon blancs from Marlborough, New Zealand.  Crafted from grapes from three premier vineyards in Marlborough, this 100% sauvignon blanc has aromas of fresh summer herbs with fruity flavors of nectarine and citrus. It has a long, pleasant finish with balanced acidity. Alcohol is 13.5% by volume.  PLCB product code is 3249 and sells for $12.99 at most PA Wine and Spirit stores.

Altivo Barrel Select Malbec

This rich full-bodied dry red wine comes from the Uco Valley in Mendoza, Argentina.  barrel room

It is made from 100% malbec grapes from one of the oldest estates at Altivo vineyards.  Pleasantly aromatic, it features lovely aromas of boysenberries with a hint of basil.  Flavors of rich dark fruits are well balanced with tannins and acidity.  It has a long lasting finish. 

This is one more of the wines we'll be featuring at the Pottstown Library Benefit Tasting on Saturday, November 5.

Alcohol is 13.5% by volume with residual sugar at 2.6 grams per liter.    Great when paired with beef of lamb.  PLCB product code is 19768 and sells for $14.99 at many PA Wine and Spirit stores, including the Pottstown store the last time we checked.

This is the earliest chance to sample the first vintages of the new harvest. Nouveau wines are light, fruity and semi-dry to dry red wines.

It's also a great opportunity to purchase wines for the upcoming holiday season to give as gifts or to drink at dinner.
