Vineyard Tears
Our best selling dry white wine! After a triumphant first release (written
up by the Wall Street Journal), we follow it up with an Alsatian
masterpiece, full of layers of spice and fruit. This blend of Chardonnay,
Pinot Gris, Riesling and Müller-Thurgau is sure to be a crowd pleaser.
Winemaker's Notes: A rich and complex blend of our most aromatic varieties, you will find a
fresh-fruit core of peaches, pears with slight mineral characteristic on the
mouth feel. A pleasantly smooth and clean finish caps off this
spectacular blend.
Food Pairings: An excellent choice for pasta primavera, vegetarian dishes, light chicken
dishes and mild fish.

Edel Doux
A Blend of 70% Riesling and 30% Gewürtztraminer.
Riesling is one of the world's greatest wine grapes. When properly
grown it has great flavor intensity with a wide range of flavors and a
wonderfully rich and complex nose. The Riesling grape is believed to be
indigenous to Germany, and has been planted there since the fourteenth
century. Gewürz means "spicy" in German and this is the main
characteristic of Gewürztraminer. A member of the Muscat family with
rich, pungent character and flavors, it is full-bodied, low in acid, and
slightly oily in texture. Gewürztraminer has an unmistakable trademark
in its smell: a mix of roses and lychee fruit, ripe pears, tropical fruit and
even sweet spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.
Edel Doux is made in the "late harvest" style, which results in a wine that
is very sweet and almost dessert like. Overtones of apricot and peach
come through in the finish.
Food Pairings: This wine is a perfect pairing with mild cheeses or dessert, specifically chocolate. Edel Doux also is a great aperitif.

What is the difference between Bourbon & Whiskey?
It's a common misconception to think the two are different, however, all bourbons are whiskey, but not all whiskeys are bourbon. Bourbon is actually a TYPE of whiskey and there are 5 major categories of whisky: Bourbon, American Blended, Scotch, Irish and Canadian.
Bourbon Whiskey is an American whiskey, a type of distilled spirit, made primarily from a fermented mash containing at least 51% corn (maize) and named for Bourbon County, Kentucky. It must be distilled at no more than 160 proof (80% by volume) and aged in new, charred oak barrels for at least 2 years. It has been produced since the 18th century.
