Continuing with last week's theme of trying local wines...
Today, we dug out a bottle that we purchased last year when in New Hampshire for a couple weeks:
Flag Hill Winery 2002 Marechal Foch, Lee, New Hampshire. It has a lovely color, best described as a deep red with honey notes. It has an earthy aroma that reminded us of fresh-picked grapes. It is a pleasant red table wine: medium bodied and more of the fresh, earthy grape, especially mid-palate. Low tannins.
Like Seyval Blanc, the Marechal Foch varietal is common on the East Coast. For more information on this grape, please click here.
Again, we enjoyed sampling a wine not widely available, and we liked this relaxed red. Next weekend, we're thinking to try one of our California wines that has been sitting in our cellar for a few months now. Kath is also fervently hoping for the return of warm, sunny weather so she can have her first gin & tonic of the summer.
Happy drinking!
