April Wine Selections
There are some wines that are more popular in certain months. April Wines are of 11 types from Europe, the United States and Australia. These are good types of April wine. These wines range in price from $13 to $22 per bottle.
Wines that Cost $12 to $14
These wines come from both Spain and Italy. They include Verdejo,Naia, Rueda D.O., Spain, 2005; Pinot Grigio, Kris, Venezie, I.G.T. Italy, 2005.
Verdejo is a grape that comes from Rueda, Spain. It offers a bright, crisp, refreshing taste with a lot of body (weight). This would be a good wine for someone who enjoys Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio. On the other hand, if you are looking for a wine that is easy to drink, has a low alcohol content and is bubbly you will want Prosecco Brut. This wine is like cotton candy in a bottle but without the sweetness.
Wines that Cost $15 To $17
These types of April wine come from the United States and Italy. They include Merlot, Francis Coppola, “Diamond Collection”, California, 2004; Morellino di Scansano, Bruni “Marteto”, Italy, 2004; and Zinfandel, Rosenblum Cellars “North Coast”, California, 2005.
Francis Coppola is a great merlot with loads of plums and toasty oaks and Morellino di Scansano’s grapes are similar to Sangiovese grapes but they are much more affordable because it does not carry a “designer label.”
Then the Zinfandel is America’s Grape and has a high alcohol content, full body and brawny nature, which packs a punch.
Wines that Cost Around $20
April wines that fills this category include Sancerre, (a.k.a. Sauvignon Blanc) Domaine Gerard Millet, France, 2005; Pinot Noir, A to Z, Oregon, 2004; Shiraz, Mitolo “Jester”, McLaren Vale, Australia, 2004; Abadia Retuerta, “Seleccion Especial, Sardon de Duero, Spain, 2001; and Cabernet Sauvignon, Ex Libris, Columbia Valley, Washington, 2005.
A little background on April wines
Sancerre (a.k.a. Sauvignon Blanc) Domaine Gerard Millet is an old world, European wine.
Pinot Noir comes with a screw cap.
Shiraz is part of Australia’s easy going approach to wine.
Abadia Retuerta has lots of flavors. This is because the Spanish love blending grapes and layering flavors. Even some high priced French wines contain Spanish wine.
Cabernet Sauvignon’s fruit was purchased from vineyards across the Columbia Valley. This makes for a nice blend.
