Getting
to try one of a winery’s first releases is always a big treat. This mighty
Petite Sirah was sourced from Hoover Valley Vineyards (now Uplift Vineyard) of
the Texas Hill Country AVA. This limited production has so much to offer. It is
rich in cherries and plums with a bit of pepper for added pizazz. This wine
also has a great mouthfeel along with a good balance between the marriage of
acids and tannins. Its name pays homage to the underlying cause that the winery
supports. This label donates funds to support the local food banks and as the
ancient name that honors the Roman goddess Annona implies, is about giving food
to help others. Enjoy this one well and share with a thankful heart.
Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.
