Wine Wisdom
Chelsey Malstrom, Seven Sisters Spirits, Detroit Lakes, Minnesota
Poema Brut Cava
This Spanish bubbly is from a small craft producer in the Penedès valley. They make incredibly crisp and light wines, reflective of their chalky limestone and coastal soil. This Cava is perfect for bubbly cocktails or drinking entirely on its own. It boasts delicate green apple and apricot notes, and a lovely, fresh key lime finish.
Roberts + Rogers Cabernet Sauvignon
This wine hails from the Louer Family estate in Northern California. Juicy and jammy with pie-like characteristics on the palate, this wine is accompanied by great punchy blackberry/blueberry cobbler notes with velvet soft tannins that are begging you to take another sip! Great for gifting or a snowy night at home.
Cheers! Chelsey Malstrom
