Go team USA! Our wines of support.

And how fitting a wine to pair with this historic match up game between US and UK is the Charles & Charles 2009 rose from Washington state. It’s 100% syrah made with minimal skin contact and minimal fuss, resulting in fresh fruit and acidity reminiscent of Provence. The cool US flag label is a design done by  a Nashville poster shop.

Another home team wine we opened was a California Cab from Lake County,CA called Line 39- named after the latitude where great wines are made across the globe. This wine from the Cecchetti Wine Company, just north of Napa, is full of bright red fruits and a smooth med body that is easy to drink on its own.

Both of these wines paired very well with the game we had on in the shop. Great for calming game-time anxieties and for revving up the spirit.
