This Month At Lone Star – April 2019

The 2015 Antique Red Malbec has been aged to perfection at our North Texas winery in stainless tanks allowing it to mellow beautifully as it aged!  Our tasty red Malbec hails from the Texas High Plains where the climate and altitude provide several characteristics for superb grape growing.  The prolonged hot summer days aid in the critical ripening process.  Cold nights allow the juices to cool and hasten that process resulting in  mature grapes with superior juice!

This medium to full bodied red wine, deep purple in color with a ruby red rim, carries a bouquet of notes of black currant and bold red cherries; while the palate finds lush red and black fruits with a robust finish of firm tannins.  This beautiful red wine pairs well with the boldness of beef and Italian entrees.  Cheers to Antiques!

The 2013 Hailstone Restoration Chardonnay from Hailstone Vineyards of Napa Valley is described by their owner / winemaker Chris Zazo as an atmosphere of friendship, sophistication and good conversation over wine and weather.  Hailstone Vineyards focuses on producing small lots of premium wine.

A smooth buttery, slightly apricot and green apple on the palate with a silky-smooth finish.  It is light straw in color with brilliant clarity.  You will enjoy this crisp, complex Chardonnay with hints of vanilla and stone fruit, paired with a juicy lobster or other prime shell-fish, as well as your choice of a spicy entrée such as seasoned poultry and pork dishes.  It’s all about the Char-do-nay-nay!  Watch me Whip…
