January 2018 Well, the holidays are over and the decorations are all packed up. Which means it’s time to sweep away the crumbs of 2017 and look ahead - to make plans, and set our sights on some new goals. Traditionally the time of post-holiday diets, you’ll be glad to know we’ve got some new eating habits of our own this January. Eat Less, More Often Drink More, For Less Get Some Walking In Switch to a Mediterranean Diet Mariflor Malbec 2013 This Malbec is a favorite of ours, making a bold statement at a great value. From its dark, thick pour to its cool aromas of blackberries, blueberries, amarena cherries, espresso and mint, this wine delivers a rich experience as well as flavor. You can taste the high altitude (3,600 feet) ripeness of the fruit along with acidic notes of cassis and blackberries, with an almost sweet aftertaste of dark cocoa powder and violets. Rounding these flavors off are notes of black pepper, cedar wood, tobacco and oak. From glass to palate, this Malbec doesn’t disappoint. Mariflor Sauvignon Blanc 2015 This Sauvignon Blanc is another one of our favorites. Made in the high altitudes of the Uco Valley of Mendoza, it is ripe and fruity in comparison to the mineral acidity you’ll find in a wine typically crafted in classic French regions. Careful harvesting and aging in oak adds to its complexity. With aromas of passion fruit, honeycomb, white flowers and a touch of kiwi and lime, along with the fresh taste of white peach and thyme, this Sauvignon Blanc is great with fish, chicken, pasta dishes, hearty salads or even a cheese empanada! Mariflor Pinot Noir 2014 The Mariflor Pinot Noir 2014 by Michel Rolland is a very generous Pinot Noir on the bigger side. It has orange and brown reflexes in a dark crimson red, the nose is fine and focused, with raspberries, fennel, balsamico and herbs. Graziano’s Restaurant Have Graziano’s cater your next event!
