Don’t Forget the Nouveau This Thanksgiving!

Stuffing is to turkey what Nouveau wine is to Thanksgiving.  You can’t have one without the other!  At midnight tonight Elk Creek Vineyards will be releasing it’s Kentucky Chambourcin Nouveau just in time for your Thanksgiving celebration.  Since Elk Creek’s 2007 Nouveau won Gold at the Kentucky State Fair you can bet this years batch will be just as well received!  

Nouveau has bright, fresh, red fruit flavors such as cherry, strawberry and raspberry.  It is not a wine to sniff, swirl and contemplate, but a wine to pour and party with.  Due to the way it is made the astringent tannins normally found in red wines isn’t there, leaving an easy to drink fruity wine.  It is about as close to white wine as a red wine can get.  It is amazing to realize that just weeks before this wine was a cluster of grapes in the Elk Creek Vineyard.  But by an expeditious harvest, a rapid fermentation and a speedy bottling, all is ready at the midnight hour!
