It’s kind of strange how time can slip away and before you know it it’s already April. As I sit here typing, I realized that I never posted my pick for March. I apologize in so much as that particular wine from Kiona is absolutely stellar. To make up for it, I will make it my Pick Of The Week on The Blue Collar Wine Guy<\/a>. Hopefully you get a chance to check out that review. <\/p>\n

For the month of April, I once again look to Washington State, and once again I found an absolutely stellar wine for a prayer. To be fair, I had my sights set on a gem from Italy for the same price, but it is sold out. I understand why. The wine I discovered from Washington State truly deserves to be a “pick” and would have made it next month for sure.<\/p>\n

Townshend Cellars Purple Table Wine<\/p><\/div>\n

Non-Vintage Townshend Cellars Purple Table Red (Columbia Valley, WA)… $10. <\/p>\n

Aromas of candied plums, perfumed violet soap and tobacco. Complex on the palate with notes of cola, cinnamon, blackberries and tobacco. Chocolate notes sneak in on the back-end. The mid-palate features notes of cinnamon sprinkled on candied blackberries with a pinch of tobacco. We are not talking sweet here, just the flavors, with a nice lift from the acidity. Good integration of fruit and acidity with excellent balance across the palate into a lingering, delicious finish with a hint of char. This has enough guts to match up with grilled meats, pizza or burgers. I wouldn’t be shy about having it with BBQ chicken either. The cool thing is, this wine can be enjoyed all by itself… No problem. All that for a mere ten bucks! (B+)<\/p>\n

Cheers!
