Explore the World of SPARKLING WINE!!

Come on out to Corcoran next Saturday, December 5th and enjoy five sparkling wines from around the world like a Cava from Spain or Champagne from Champagne, France and even a sparkling Shiraz from Australia.

This is a great time to meet Sommelier, Mary Watson DeLauder and taste how different wines whether sparkling or not are different in every region from around the world.

Especially now that we are feasting on all those Thanksgiving leftovers...what could be a better pairing?? Bubbles...tiny bubbles go with quite a few foods but very well with salty foods or snacks. So turkey sandwich and a handful of potato chips should be paired with some sparkling wine....yum!!

So sign up for one of the 2 sparkling wine sessions with Mary and taste some bubbles....learn about bubbles....and get some bubbles for your next gathering.

Registration is required at http://shop.corcoranvineyards.com/

Cheers!

Thinking Wine for Thanksgiving??

Whether you are having turkey, lamb, beef or fish remember to start with a glass of something you enjoy! Of course for me it will be bubbles, tiny bubbles because it is a great palate cleanser and I love it. In fact sparkling wine pairs with most everything so it is something to start or end every evening with. Once you have enjoyed your glass of choice, you can move onto a wine that is paired with your meal. With turkey I like Chambourcin for a red, with its light tannins and cranberry flavors it is perfect when paired with cranberry sauce and stuffing. And Viognier for a white wine with your turkey because although it is dry it has a lot of fruit flavors which will stand up to sides like sweet potatoes. A rich lamb pairs wonderfully with our Malbec. If you are thinking of having a beef roast, try a heavier red like our Meritage which is a blend of Bordeaux reds. Then for the fish lovers we have our lightly oaked Chardonnay. This Chardonnay also is a huge hit with all your leftovers!

All of us at Corcoran Vineyards wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Cheers!

It's the Most Wonderful & CRAZY Time of the Year

With our busy schedules it's hard to find time to figure out what to make let alone what you want to pair with it. It can also be a daunting task as well. Any good winery or wine shop would be great at steering you in the right direction. A lot of these people are wine connoisseurs and they are out to educate people for the sheer love of wine not for their own agenda. Loudoun County has a town of wineries, wine shops, stores with excellent wine selections, etc right at our finger tips. If you didn't know, this area is growing very rapidly not only in wine production but also in wine expertise so take advantage of what's around you.... and just ask. Let us help fulfill our need for the spirit of giving....you know giving you the best bottle possible to pair with your meal.

Eat Well, Drink Well!
