Wine, Food & Vehicle Feature of the Week

Three Wine Company's Zinfandel, Smokey Food & the 2013 Hyundai Tucson

This bottle is just $12.99!

Three Wine Company is one of the winemakers that will be present at the 2013 Burlington Wine & Food Festival, and today we'd like to showcase their Three "Red Label" Zinfandel. According to our friends from the Wine & Food Festival, the "field blend" contingent of this wine adds structure, color, cherry and black fruit flavors. There is a deep concentration of ripe black cherries and spice with an earthy berry sneaking through. The mouth-feel is rich and balanced with a lingering peppery finish. Sounds amazing!

As for food, what better to pair with this winemaker's wine than what they'll be serving at their dinner in lieu of the festival? Winemaker Matt Cline and Henry & Dina Bronson will be presenting an evening of smokey food and great wine pairing at Bistro Henry on Thursday June 20 at 6:30pm. This sumptuous dinner menu will have meals such as Capaccio and Spare Ribs, only done in completely new ways. This dinner costs just $50 plus tax & gratuity. Call Bistro Henry to make a reservation; there's only 50 spots! (802) 362-4982.

Matt Cline of Three Wine Company, one of the most respected wine makers in California, will also be presenting a seminar at the Wine & Food Festival. Matt will speak about the historical vineyards of California as you sample wines from his vineyard at his "California Viticultural History and Blending Traditions with Matt Cline" seminar.

We thought the perfect Hyundai vehicle to feature with the rich, smokey wine & food would be the 2013 Hyundai Tucson. Its adaptability and versality to be both luxurious yet practical lends to the balanced, peppery finish of the Zinfandel, as well as the combination of rich and down-home taste that you get from spare ribs and smokey eats. We don't, however, recommend the wine and the Hyundai Tucson go together!
