St. John de Vine Red

Posted on August 28, 2009 by RJ

St. John, Red Table Wine, Medium Sweet, de Vine Red nv This wine speaks floral notes from the glass with the foxiness I associate with the Concord that I ate as a boy. In the mouth is fruity and friendly, displaying a sweet and tart character like a Mosel Riesling – yum. Serve cold straight from the 4 litre box. Made in Altus, Arkansas $16.95 at the winery.

    I tried this, too, and the recipe on the box for Sangria was quite perfect for the first day of summer party I had last week. Got it at Kroger’s in the Heights, Little Rock, Ar.

    You can see how the fruitiness and acidity would make a great base for Sangria – summer is here! RJ

    Fantastic wine. I can’t find it. Kroger is out! Where can I buy it? I would order online.

    I have been enjoying Devine Red for quite a while, it is very good. Love it with cheese and good friends! Wish we could go back to the larger boxes, however. Thanks.
