FOOD + ENTERTAINING Wine Tasting Notes Francois Montand Brut Blanc de Blancs A complex blend of various white grapes, mainly Colombard, Ugny blanc and Chardonnay. This wine is pale gold in color with a hint of green and fine bubbles. Creamy and smooth on the palate, with lingering aromas of freshly baked bread, golden delicous apples and Meyer lemons. A great way to start any meal, and it’s a fine accompaniment for ceviche, salads, white fish in white sauce or simply for dessert. Eulen Identidad Cabernet Sauvignon Avoid the day-after hangover. Drink wine that is made without chemical additives or added sugars. This clean- crafted Cab is available exclusively from a Scout & Cellar wine consultant. Dark ruby in color with berry, spice and forest floor aromas and layered flavors of wild strawberry, raspberry and freshly-roasted coffee bean on a plush but lively finish. Earthy and bold. Pair with anything from the grill, mushroom dishes or hard cheese. (continued on page 62) HOLIDAY 2018 61
