W**E OF THE WEEK
SANTIAGO QUEIROLO, Since 1880
Vino de la Magdalena Reservado and Gran Vino Borgoña, Ica Valley, Peru
This one comes with a story I carry in my heart.
When I was in Peru, a friend put this bottle in my hands. Not as a goodbye gift, as a nos vemos muy pronto gift.
She told me, this is not to say goodbye, it is so you take a little piece of us with you and you remember to come back soon.
And she was right. Because the taste of Peru, of our culture, of our w**e, it is never a goodbye. It is always a see you soon.
That is why I had to bring it to Kramers. So we can all have that feeling here.
Santiago Queirolo has been making w**e since 1880, over 140 years of tradition from their own vineyards in the sun filled Ica and Cañete Valleys in southern Peru.
We brought in two beautiful ones.
First, Vino de la Magdalena Reservado. The classic. Deep ruby, made with Malbec and Tannat. Aromas of black plum, red cherries, red berries. Semi sweet, silky, round, soft on the palate. Elegant but so easy to drink. Best at 60 degrees, perfect with our Pollo a la Brasa or just on its own.
Second, Gran Vino Borgoña. The taste of Peru itself. Made from Borgoña grapes, Isabella and Concord, that only grow in our corner of the world. Dark cherry with a violet rim, notes of raspberry and fig jam. Sweet, light bodied, joyful, like a young Port with all the heart of South America, best at 64 degrees (idk how to do the little symbol thingie for degrees).
Both are Semi Sweet Red, not heavy, not bitter. Just warm, friendly, made for sharing around the table with people you love.
For me, every sip is that promise, nos vemos muy pronto.
Come grab a bottle this week at Kramers Market, 406 N Cleveland St, Richmond VA. Let us toast to friendship that never says goodbye.
Salud familia. Gracias por tanto apoyo siempre.
