Good afternoon!
Looking for a great wine for the summer? Check out the Orange of Gewurztraminer by The Vice Wine!
The wine is aromatic, floral, and fruit forward. It has some residual sugar and a vibrant acidity to balance it out.
It's the perfect wine for wine lovers and beginners alike!

For my Chicago area locals: I highly recommend visiting Fire + Wine in Glen Ellyn! We prefer date nights during the week, and this is a great place for a midweek dinner.
Their Italian food and extensive wine options are fantastic 🍷

Want to skip the alcohol this weekend? We decided to have Martinelli's Sparkling Cider to replace our Champagne for brunch!
It felt like a similar vibe 🥂

What is alcohol-removed wine? 🍷
It is made from fermented must (aka wine). The wine itself goes through the same usual process, and the alcohol is later removed using vacuum distillation.
Since it comes from wine, dealcoholized (alcohol-removed) wine comes in the same varietals we know and love!

One more Pinot Noir review before Thanksgiving!
As has been the theme, I am recommending yet another wine for Thanksgiving Dinner. Admire by Dan Kosta is one of my favorites!
Take a look at the review below 😊

What type of reviews do you want to see?
After Thanksgiving, I was thinking I'd hit some sweeter and approachable wine, before reviewing some sparkling wine and Champagne 🤔

I picked up some extra bottles of Pinot Noir for the season! They're both by Dan Kosta, and they're really good.
Be on the lookout for reviews of both wines soon (ish)! 🍷👀

The Hilt Estate Pinot Noir is yet another great wine for Fall and Thanksgiving!
It is a bit pricier, but complex and flavorful 🍷

Although Pinot Noir is the classic pairing for Thanksgiving Dinner, sometimes a darker option might be nice.
