Sophie’s Wines

Our newest wine, “Sophie’s Red”, turned out to be a blockbuster---Meanwhile cellar manager Jane Hudon and associate Ed Lambert are hard at work helping create our newest Sophie’s selection, Sophie’s White. This will be a blend of Pinot Grigio, with a touch of non-oaked Chardonnay, and preliminary tastings have been truly spectacular. Terry and Mike spent time in Southern Italy in June, and made some effort to taste a large variety of Italian Pinot Grigio (a dirty job but……..). Trying to be as objective as possible, we feel our Pinot Grigio equals or surpasses any of those tasted while in Italy. Of course, you will be the final and best judge of that. We can’t wait to get this new selection to you, and hope it will be ready for the May-June Angels wine club shipments. Stay tuned!!
