WINE of the MONTH – July

July 5th, 2011 by oscar

On a rare night off lately we decided to spend it in Galway & while we were strolling down Quay street looking at & for nothing in particular we came across a little Wine Shop which looked interesting, so we just had to have a quick look inside.

While we were browsing , we came across a few wines that we stock  at Mimosa so we got chatting to the Owner  & had a good discussion about the wines we both stock & the suppliers , he then started talking about this SALICE SALENTINO that is a gorgeous wine & is stocked by a supplier that we both use – well we just had to try it , for research purposes of course !!

Well -we both adored it , it’s such a surprising wine for me , full of great flavours but also with the slightest hint of spicy sweetness that is really pleasant, like one review said ‘ you’ll never get tired of this wine ‘ Its not too light or too heavy so its perfect with most meats .

From the heel of Italy -Salice Salentino is a juicy red produced by Masseria Pietrosa from the indigenous Italian variety of Negro amaro.  Largely overlooked, this is a real up-and-coming region to watch.

Thats what I love about this job ,we are learning more every day , and enjoying all the lessons along the way.

This is a wine not to be missed , it will be on our next wine list for sure but if you want a great wine now It will be available for the month of July at Mimosa

€ 24.00 per bottle       €6.00 per glass

Cin cin as they say in Italy
