Sommelier Matt’s Summer Wine Corner
Matt Sayer, our resident sommelier, has a gifted palette and playful imagination when it comes to discovering seasonal favorites within the world of wine. Matt joins us for another installment of our “Wine Corner” series, where he invites us on his journey to find summer’s finest glasses, one sip at a time.
Skull Wines’ Pink Wine is Matt’s wine of choice this summer. Organically farmed from Contra Costa and Lodi AVA, this wine is a delicate blend of Zinfandel (90%) and a hint of Petite Sirah to finish (10%). A fun everyday drinker, this summer selection matured after four months in neutral oak. Pink Wine is light, crisp, and a refreshing blend with hints of ripe strawberries. Enjoy it on a hot summer’s day and pair it with a seasonal salad, garden-fresh vegetables, and a plate of seafood. A fun and funky fact about this selection by Skull Wines? You’ll know when it’s cold enough to drink as the skull on the label turns pink!
