For the love of wine

Robin and Andrea McBride, of Truvee’ Wines, are truly inspirational ladies who are changing the look and taste of the wine world.

These Andrea and Robin McBride of Truvee Wines in Garden_1sisters grew up separately, in different wine regions of the world (California and New Zealand) and  their father’s last wish was for them “to find” each other before he passed away. His dream was realized when the ladies met for the first time at the ages of 16 and 25.

 

Years later, after learning and combining each other’s wine background and experience, the McBride Sisters created Truvee’ Wines. The word “Truvee” means “to find”, that name reflects the McBrides’ amazing story, as well as their mission “to find” the best grapes to “craft authentic, yet affordable wine.” Truvee Wines has 3 expressions: Chardonnay, a Red Blend, and Rose’.

Truvee Rose 2015 Ambiance
The rose is a gorgeous pink color that comes from a blend of 3 red grapes. When we smelled the wine, we were hit with berry and floral aromas, and when we tasted it we definitely tasted citrus on the palate with a dry finish. This wine is 14% alcohol, but it’s hard to believe because it’s such a smooth wine. This acidic Rose is perfect to compliment with small seafood and veggie plates or just to hang with the girls on a beautiful summer day! We enjoyed it, and at 14.99 per bottle, we think that Robin and Andrea succeeded in creating a great product for a great price!

Gentry Bourbon Launch Party

Every trip out to Boone Hall Plantation sets the stage for a majestic evening. The scenic drive down the antebellum dirt road is a picture of Southern perfection.

We were greeted by JD Madison, the man of the night’s smiling face for  a quick photo session. After which we made a beeline to the bar for the signature cocktail. The newly released Gentry Bourbon is an homage to the JD’s grandfather who fostered his appreciation for the spirit.

JD prefers to drink Gentry Bourbon neat but suggest that new bourbon drinkers add soda or ice to better approach the aged spirit. Sermet’s, Mr. Madison’s King Street restaurant provided a bevy of bites including a bar complete with chocolate dipped pretzels, cookies and bacon!

We suggest sipping your Gentry Bourbon while nibbling on a piece of fine chocolate to pull all the sweet oaky note from the whiskey, in #GentleLadySips
