Rosé Wine Wedding Favors

Red wines, White Wines – and then there’s Rosé Rosé is a wine that incorporates some of the color from the red grape skins, but not enough to make it a red wine. Rosé is made from many different red wine grapes, but with limited exposure to the grape skins, which give wine its color. The mixing of red wine with a white wine to impart a rosé color is uncommon and strongly discouraged by serious wine-makers. Rosé offers a gorgeous color contrast to both red and white wines when presented in clear bottles. Because of this, many couples love the idea of 3 wine types and colors for their wedding favors – a red wine, a white wine and a Rosé. We offer two Rosé wine options for your wedding favors. In our Select […]

Argentine Trio – very special white wine blend

Argentine Trio, is a very unique White Wine blend, only available with us. A blend of Viognier, Riesling and Chardonnay. This smooth yet robust blend highlights the apricot, peach and honeysuckle notes of Viognier, underscoring them with the minerality, crisp apple, and lime from Riesling, wrapping it all with the pineapple, mango, and papaya flavors and aromas of Chardonnay. Fresh and balanced yet lush, it’s complemented by hints of vanilla and a lingering finish of stone fruits. Despite its Viognier and Chardonnay components which shout DRY wine, the Riesling does a wonderful job creating this Off-Dry Argentine Trio white wine blend. Not a sweet wine by any standard, just a hint of sweetness at the finish. Perfect. This blend is big and complex, rich enough to compete with red wine pairings. It pairs very well

Aerating Wine results in a better tasting wine

Coffee is to People – what Air is to Wine. Wakes them Up. Aerating Wine means expose the wine to air for a relatively short period of time. Exposing wine to air triggers both oxidation and evaporation. But oxidation beyond a very short period of time is what turns a wine bad. Short period oxidation though releases some of the less desirable and bad tasting compounds from the wine and allows them to evaporate. So you end up with a better tasting wine, an untainted reflection of the grapes from which the wine was born. Opening the bottle just 15 minutes before drinking it will in most cases make a noticeable difference. Swirling your glass of wine accomplishes a similar thing – it mixes the wine with air on a rapid basis. An elegant and

Meritage – our most popular red wine by far for the last 12 months+

Meritage is the name of Red and White Bordeaux-style wines without infringing on the Bordeaux (France) region’s legally protected designation of origin. Winemakers must license the Meritage trademark from its owner, the California-based Meritage Alliance. (credit Wikipedia) Meritage (pronounced like “Heritage”, with an “M”) are provocative red or white wines crafted solely from specific “noble” Bordeaux grape varieties and are considered to be the very best wines of the vintage. Red Meritage is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cab Franc, plus one or more of Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenère. Since being added to our long list of wines available for personal wine-making over a year ago, our red Meritage has been the run-away best seller of all the wines we offer, red or white. One thing that makes our Meritage extra special, the

How Your Own Winery started

We often get asked, how did Your Own Winery get started? Vintner’s Circle For a number of years, we made our own wine at a wine-making shop, Vintner’s Circle in Sparta, NJ. Vintner’s Circle was a wine-making store franchise (now out of business). The Sparta shop was owned by friends of ours – wine lovers like us. We had tons of fun making wine, and the finished wine was great. In May 2012, the owner of the Sparta shop (let’s call him Dave) asked us. “Would we consider a partnership with him to open a wine-making shop in the Wayne/Butler area (where we live)?” We had never started a business, so the idea was a bit daunting to say the least. But we loved wine-making, knew there were thousands of wine lovers in our area.
