Food for Thought WINE Danie de Wet Limestone Hill Chardonnay 2010 Tasting Notes: This Chardonnay is made from grapes grown on high calcareous gravely hills. After fermentation the wine is matured on the lees in stainless steel tanks for a few months. Fresh green apples combined with delicate citrus aromas on the nose follow through on the palate with a long tangy finish of delicious full round ripe peaches, green apples and nutty, citrus flavors. Aging Potential: two-four years Blend Information: 100 percent Chardonnay Food Suggestions: best served with white meat and vegetables, appetizers, seafood and light meals. BOURBON Angel's Envy This bourbon has been on my radar for a couple of years. This great whiskey had been hard to come by locally, but that's changed in the last few months. You can now get it in Georgia. This bourbon has a great nose with scents of maple syrup and vanilla. The whiskey is finished in port wine barrels, which gives it an amazingly well balanced taste and helps to bring out the syrupy sweetness. It leaves a wonderful lingering finish. I highly recommend trying this bourbon. You won't be disappointed. Our wine selection is courtesy of Off the Vine, 3090 Vineville Ave.
