THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE SUMMER 2018
 
We hope everyone is enjoying this long awaited summer weather.  We are not allowed to complain about the heat and humidity…remember our winter!  Just relax on your patio or deck with a glass of refreshing GRAPE EXPECTATIONS wine.  Here is my recipe for Sangria.  Make a pitcher tonight.
PAT’S SENSATIONAL SANGRIA

•  1 bottle of red wine
•   ½ cup orange juice
•   ½ cup berry juice ( any berry is fine)
•   ¼ cup Grand Marnier or Triple Sec
•   ¼ cup Rye, Rum or Vodka
•   1 each lemon, lime and orange sliced thin and cut in half
•   1 cup blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries (1 cup total, you can mix the berries) or any seasonal fruit.

Mix all ingredients in a large pitcher and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight.  Fill a glass halfway with ice, and pour in Sangria, top with club soda or Sprite and enjoy.

Grape Expectations is celebrating 18 years in business, and as in past years, we would like to thank you for your loyalty.

The 2018 CRU INTERNATIONAL MERITAGE is almost here!
This juice is sourced from the Okanagan Valley and available to craft this fall…just in time for the holidays.  It is a limited release, and we are certain to sell out! Therefore if you would like one or more of these wines we require pre-orders. This wine is exclusively available to Academy Retailers.

 
This dry, medium-bodied wine opens on the nose with delicious aromas of red currant, cassis, vanilla, cigar box, and spices. On the palate, it unveils a round mouthfeel with polished tannins for a supported finish.
PAIRINGS:
Pair this wine with braised beef, bison burgers, lamb chops and hearty cheeses.
