REVIEW: Wine server, Scot's Favorite
"My favorite wine is the VS White Cabernet. I love the wine because it is fruity without being too sweet. At home, I like to pair this wine with honey glazed salmon. I think this win is special because it is made from our Cabernet grapes, but it is made from through our white wine process. This allows us to enjoy the flavors of our Cabernet grapes, which is fruity and has a strawberry/raspberry character, but in a white wine!"
REVIEW: Wine Club member, Alex Marrison from WI.
The White Cabernet is the best wine I have ever tasted! My wife and I love everything about your winery. We have been members for years. We had some at the Packer's game last night! GO PACK, GO!
