用粉红色的气泡庆祝情人节
漂亮的粉红色葡萄酒绝对可以增强一个浪漫的夜晚。但是,找到良好价值瓶是一个挑战:闪闪发光的桃红葡萄酒几乎总是比它的贵paler counterpart。酿酒中的附加步骤(要么允许果汁进行一些延长的皮肤接触saignee process,或制作持续的红酒与白葡萄酒混合)可能是价格上涨的某些上涨,但对闪闪发光的桃红葡萄酒的需求也可以保持价格上涨。
不幸的是,市场上有很多价格低廉的粉红色泡沫。我们涉水了几次排水池,为您的情人节享受找到了一些美味的选择。这是一些我们最喜欢的粉红色起泡葡萄酒—Cremant, Cava, and Champagne.
与火葬场变得舒适
If you like bubbly, you should get familiar with the term Cremant: these sparkling wines aren't from Champagne, but they are from France, and they do undergo a secondary bubble-forming fermentation in the bottle like Champagne does. They're often a killer value.
我的最佳建议:这个名字是如此,太俗气了,但是当我说你应该买时,请相信我横流情绪(2009年)满足您的所有预算粉刷需求。气味是烤面包的,但葡萄酒又明亮了:酸酸蔓越莓 - 玫瑰花莓风味使您的嘴巴有点皱纹。这款limoux(来自法国南部的Languedoc)是在传统的Methode中制成的,产生了非常精细的碳酸化。它干净清新,也有花香的一面 - 当它温暖时,我想到了。它是70%的霞多丽,18%的Chenin Blanc,10%的Mauzac和2%黑比诺。与熏火腿和山羊奶酪或虾鸡尾酒晚餐前喝酒,或用乳蛋饼或Carbonara用餐(龙虾面包卷也可以。)大约15美元,您真的不能做得更好。
Another good option isLucien Albrecht Cremant d'Alsace, which is fresh and tangy, with a little orange zest and tart strawberry flavor. This pinot noir-based bubbly is a thirst-quencher, good for serving as an aperitif (it would be nice with crispy fried spring rolls.) If you can't find the Antech, this one will do nicely for around $16. (Not sure I'd pay $20 for it, though.)
大胆的玫瑰凯瓦
If you're serving seared duck breast or juicy lamb chops for Valentine's dinner, you may want a wine that's a little more bold. Our pick:Torre Oria Cava Brut Rosado,这是一种华丽的洋红色颜色,可提供完整的深色水果。这种传统的方法是由100%的Garnacha制成的,味道像蔓越莓和黑莓,并带有坎帕里富裕的味道。它的售价约为15美元。
玫瑰香槟挑选
Rosé Champagne is pricey stuff—you'll definitely shell out more for it than you would regular 'white' Champagne. But if you want rosé, Champagne offers more flavorful and interesting wine than any of the options above.
如果您正在寻找诱惑,Champagne Chartogne-Taillet由60%的霞多丽和40%黑皮诺制成的桃红葡萄酒可在黑桃上提供。在玻璃杯中,有一种有力的焦糖和草莓糖果的鲜艳,鲜艳的香气,味道首先是旋转的:太妃糖,梅尔巴·吐司(Melba Toast)上的浓郁的杏子果酱,辣的大黄,糖果姜,玫瑰和蜡状蜂窝。这种香槟有一些咸味的一面,但仍然是女性化的,真正的酸度平衡了喉咙中的中音深度。这不是流行的葡萄酒,它是柔软的浴缸,即两种葡萄酒,搭配丰富的鲑鱼和金枪鱼生鱼片或更好的葡萄酒 - 腹部。大卫·张(David Chang)的猪肉面包和一根笛子之一也许?之后,您最好还是抽烟,然后称其为一个晚上。大约50美元,但浪漫不是无价吗?
Sometimes, though, you want your bubbles to be a little less serious and a little more fun.香槟Lallier桃红葡萄酒的味道像桃子和奶油一样吸引人,味道友好且新鲜,带有成熟的香桃风味。由80%黑皮诺(Pinot)和20%的霞多丽(Chardonnay)制成,这种浆果味的葡萄酒饰有百里香和鼠尾草的味道,就像饮酒一样容易。这里没有笨蛋(尽管也没有一些高端瓶子的酵母或矿物质复杂性。)配山羊奶酪和熏火腿,或者是肉丸stroganoff的一餐,或者实际上任何涉及蘑菇和奶油的东西。这将花费您40美元左右,尽管我们每年的这个时候都以32美元的价格出售了它。
Pehu-Simonet的BrutRoséfalls somewhere between the two, balancing fresh, pure fruit with a bit more complexity. Vibrant red berries and hints of nectarine and mandarin orange are accented with a minty/basil-like freshness and a little clove and Sichuan peppercorn spice. It's more interesting than the Lallier, but not as brooding as the Chartogne-Taillet. Pair this delicious wine with roast chicken or shrimp tempura, or mussels in white wine or curry sauce. It sells around $60 or $65.
更多选择
There are a few I hesitated over—I'd happily drink them if offered, but wouldn't likely shell out for a bottle now that I've had a preview.香槟J. Dumangin Fils对于那些喜欢葡萄柚和酸橙的香槟的人,可以提供更多的酸和花卉,并准备与家禽或鱼搭配。一些品尝者被酸关闭了,觉得它太严重了,尽管其他人喜欢它的亮度。在频谱的另一端,发现一些品尝者弗兰克城堡的庆祝玫瑰有点甜蜜的一面。这款100%来自纽约州手指湖中弗兰克庄园(Frank Estate)的100%Pinot Meunier在纽约州的手指湖中有一些美味的酵母风味 - 它使我们想起了黄油饼干上的草莓豆果酱。它可以与鲑鱼菜肴(烟熏或烟熏味)或鳄梨沙拉沙拉合作,并以21美元的价格出售。
Moving down in price from there, it was hard to find winners. Some tasters likedBouvet Brut玫瑰卓越from the Loire, which sells for around $14 and is made from Cabernet Franc. Up front, it offers tart cherry and baked-strawberry flavors, but, it showed an herbal/endive side that struck us as slightly bitter, and a dry grapefruit-peel finish. We found this wine much nicer to drink on day two and three—it fills out a bit if you store it in the fridge with a Champagne saver.
