compliment and enhance the flavors in foods. The wine

reference to provide you with some ideas to round
out your food and wine menus.
Looking
to try something new? We'd be happy to help with some
recommendations. Simply stop by, give us a call at

Serving Recommendations
Temperature:
Red
wine is best served at room temperature to bring out
its aromatic elements. The ideal temperature for red
wines is 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
White or Rose' wine should be served chilled at about
45 degrees Fahrenheit.
Uncorking:
A
slight amount of oxygen enhances a wine's characteristics
so we recommend opening all red wines well in advance
of serving.
