We are excited to taste these wines with you:
1. 2011 2 Lads Pinot Grigio — Can we call this a flip-flop wine? Not for its inability to stand by a decision, but for the weekend-casual mood it inspires. With the 2011 vintage, our Pinot Grigio delivers the classic 2 Lads style of PG, fragrant and crisp. Peach blossom and pineapple envelop your senses while nectarine and clean sheets dried on the clothesline dance around the edges. Stony minerality leads to crisp, soft lemon notes. All you need is a deck (house or boat) and a little Michigan sunshine.
Regular Price: $20.99 Special (un)Corked Price: $18.89
2. 2011 2 Lads Rosé of Cabernet Franc — This white wine is exemplary of our red wine style: bold. But don’t let the color fool you. It offers classic strawberry, rhubarb and vanilla aromas that tempt your palate and challenge your wine paradigm. The mouth feel is silky, rich, and smooth with sweet strawberry from start to finish. Whether it’s the beach, the pool, or your villa in the south of France, this wine belongs with a hot summer and cool friends.
Regular Price: $20.99 Special (un)Corked Price: $18.89
3. 2011 2 Lads Fouch Vineyard Riesling — These grapes leave the Fouch Vineyard in October traveling 20 mph towards 2 Lads winery, 1.5 miles down the road. At the same time, Cornel waits on the 2Lads crushpad ready to finish the complex equation of soil, sun and fruit into a finished wine. I’m no math wizard, but… If x = aroma and y = taste, how does this wine add up? Well, if x = tangerine, hyacinth, honeycrisp apple, and soft floral-perfume aromas, and y = bright citrus notes, clean tropical fruit, and just enough sweetness to enhance the acidity, then x + y = exponentially delicious!
Regular Price: $21.99 Special (un)Corked Price: $19.79
4. 2010 2 Lads Pinot Noir — “Hide the women and children – this one is trouble!!” Aromas of sweet red plums and smoky cherries; Lively on the palate with concentrated strawberry, lightly roasted coffee and delicate tannins… ohhh the tannins. Although youthful, this wine already shows a long elegant finish and will continue to improve for the next five years.
Regular Price: $28.99 Special (un)Corked Price: $26.09
5. 2010 2 Lads Cab Franc/Merlot — It’s like peanut butter and jelly, bacon and eggs, or Bert and Ernie – Cabernet Franc and Merlot just belong together. With a blend of 55/45 it’s an almost equal expression of each grape’s soul. Deep black cherry, blackberry and dark chocolate in the glass balance the vanilla, coffee and sweet tannins on the palate. This is a wine you can drink now and later; if you possess the willpower, sentence it to 5 to 7 years in your cellar, but don’t be afraid to let it out for good behavior. Regular Price: $27.99 Special (un)Corked Price: $25.19
