H-E-L-L-O National Wine Day!

So if you don’t already have this on your calendar, … and I’ve, personally, had it marked down since we rocked in the new year … NEXT Friday, May 25th,  is National Wine Day and I’ll be celebrating it with Llano wines.

The Llano Estacado Winery has been producing a variety of fine wines since 1976 and is the largest premium winery in Texas.

Many of you know that my mother lives in France (just outside of Bordeaux, to be exact) and my hubby and I have visited her, at least, twice a year for years.  We’ve consumed many a fine Bordeaux but there is something to be said about the freedom to experiment and the freedom to create which is something American wine production definately has (in my little ‘ole opinion) over French wine production.

Now, I don’t pretend to be any fancy wine expert but I am a fancy wine drinker and my three personal faves from Llano Estacado Winery are:

• Cellar Reserve Tempranillo ~ a combo of Tempranillo, Syrah, Tannat & Petite Sirah with a rich bouquet of red berries, licorice, vanilla & spicy tasted ok elements.  Perfect for meat, wild game and/or Spanish tapas.
• Cellar Reserve Chardonnay ~ 100% Chardonnay with no other added varietals. Medium bodied with aromas from tropical fruit & spice to Bartlett pears. Perfect for seafood such as salmon, halibut, crab legs and lobster … and is especially good with spicy Indian cuisine.
• 2016 Meritage Red Blend ~ The blend is predominately Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Contains fruit forward aromatics and is perfect with steak, grilled pork chops and/or aged cheddar.

And just for a little extra fun, Llano Estacado Winery is extending to YOU, dear friends and blogger readers, a 20% discount from NOW until June 1, 2018 off any online order simply by using code: TURQUOISE20.  To order just click here.
