I’ll have a Provencal rosé from Jacob Liquor in-studio that would be splendid with Thanksgiving dinner 🙂
2019 Esprit Sud Coteaux D’Aix En Provence Rosé
A unique blend of Grenache, Sauvignon blanc, Syrah and Rolle. From Provence and intense! Beautiful pink white peach haues. Imagine picking wild strawberries in a field of mountain flowers. Hibuscus and watermelon puree on the nose, followed by the tastiest morsels of strawberry/lime sorbet, honeysuckle, toasted vanilla and cherries jubilee. Very refreshing. Pair this with grilled red snapper and scallops with salsa verde or better yet…Turkey 🙂
Then it’s all about Hanson of Sonoma Organic Vodka produced from grapes with proprietor Brandon Hanson. The Hanson Family says:
“Where do we get our inspiration to make unique artisan craft spirits? From each one of us! As a family we have found our passion — one might say obsession — for making something truly unique that gives you the opportunity to choose something different and — we’re convinced you’ll agree — better. Our vision of an organic, grape-based, gluten-free and non-GMO vodka is the embodiment of Hanson of Sonoma.”
“In the spirit of artisan craft, we distill in a combination pot and 50-plate column still. Our vodka is always distilled from organic grapes and infused with real, organic ingredients to create a pure, clean, and above all deliciously smooth vodka. Hanson of Sonoma organic vodka is the first of its kind, and the product of countless hours of research, testing, and plain old hard work.”
“To make organic vodka from grapes, first you have to make wine. Mastering two crafts is a heck of a feat, so we turned to our neighbors and mentors, Ceja Vineyards, to guide us through the process. We would not be here without their expertise, generosity, and willingness to jump on board with our ambitious endeavor. Not only are they extremely skilled in what they do (and willing to pass on their knowledge), they are also a family-owned winemaking operation that goes back three generations. We’re blessed and grateful for this community; without it, our organic, non-GMO, grape-based vodka would not be possible.” www.HansonofSonoma.com
