NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH A BRONX CHEER

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH A BRONX CHEER
2
1)  NV Tendil Lombardi brut, rosé de Saignée,
Balnot-sur-Laignes,Aube, Champagne, France

• This beautiful bubbly from Champagne has a lower
  gravity than most Champagnes (IE, less bubbles),
  as well as being produced with the method of
  Saignée (more time on skin and a second pressing
  , resulting in darker, more flavorful juice).

• Consequently, the aromas and flavor profile
  provide a fantastic complement to
  raspberry-accented dishes, while the darker tones
  and lighter bubbles (and acids) work with both
  sweet and savory plates.  Mixed greens with
  raspberry vinaigrette, smoked salmon with
  raspberry aïoli, duck confit tacos with raspberry
  salsa, mixed berry trifle, this works with it
  all.  Wait, did I just plan Thanksgiving dinner ?

2)  10 Sans Liege grenache, Groundwork, Santa
Barbara

• Grenache is a varietal with many faces, but most
  have at least a modicum of raspberry on the
  palate.  The Sans Lege second label, Groundwork,
  is a more user-friendly food wine than most USA
  grenache (along with being damned affordable),
  but has more weight and complexity than most
  value-priced grenache counterparts from Spain and
  more fruit than those in a similar price point
  from France.

• It is a drier wine, better suited to pair with
  dishes that have some elements other than sheer
  sweetness, particularly poultry and game dressed
  with raspberry sauces  however, as a contrast,
  it would also work with many richer raspberry
  desserts and sorbets.

3)   09 Castello di Neive grignolino, Piedmont,
Italy

• Many indigenous Italian varietals (freisa,
  frapatto, dolcetto, brachetto, vespolina) offer
  wonderful pairing opportunities with raspberries,
  but I lean towards grignolino, particularly the
  fabulous bottling from Neive.  Fresh,
  fruit-driven, hints of spice box, all delivered
  with balance and finesse, a fantastic food wine
  with pairing range that encompasses seafood,
  veal, salume, and fruit desserts, particularly
  berries.

• The ideal pairing? Try a mild cheese course
  (bufala mozzarella, this means you) with
  garnishes of candied walnuts, fresh and/or dried
  raspberries, and teardrop tomatoes and crostini. 
  Yes, I know, Thangsgiving deserves a cheese
  course.

BONUS    NV Patrick Bottex gamay noir /
ploussard,La Cueille, Bugey Cerdon, Savoie,France

• Id be remiss to not include a Bugey.  Lightly
  sparkling, packed with lush fruit and redolent
  floral notes, a stunning Brunch wine begging for
  waffles with raspberries and cream.  Maybe for
  the Sunday after Thanksgiving (didnt those
  freeloading relatives-in-law leave yet?) (give
  them a Bronx cheer so they get the hintafter the
  Bugey).
