The white wines perfect wines for Easter weekend
Chateau Ste Michelle Chardonnay Columbia Valley 2014
The Columbia Valley Chardonnay is an attractive white wine that is easy to drink. With its fresh and sweet chardonnay-like style, there is a shiny apple and a sweet citrus character with subtle flavors and shades of wood reminiscent of oak. It is perfect with seafood as a starter. Maybe even a lobster roll if you’re bold.

A rosé to add to the Perfect wines for Easter weekend
Pétale de Rose Côtes de Provence Régine Sumeire 2015
One of my favorite rosé I have to say. With its petal-colored rose robe, hence its name, low intensity and fine nose from which emanate subtle floral and fruity notes. This beautiful dry rosé has a pleasant freshness, one is miles from the Californian rosés. Faithful to the aromas perceived by olfaction, it allows to perceive the flavors of small red berries and peony. In the palate, its soft texture precedes a rather persistent finish, it can by its hold perfectly accompany your meals or be the perfect companion of terrace.

Trapiche PURE Malbec Valle de UCO Mendoza 2015
Good ok, this one is not for Easter, but for the World Malbec Day which takes place on Monday. The latter is the natural expression of a 100% Malbec of Argentina, one could not say better, its name represents it very well. Without aging in oak barrels, it is perfect with its aromas and concentration of red fruits (plum and cherry) very intense with a little spicy touch. It is a very pleasant, juicy wine, with velvety tains and a mineral side. Pleasant on the palate, it has a long finish. It will be perfect with a good steak of grilled beef with chimichuri in order to celebrate Argentina on this Monday that is Malbec Day!
