Spring-Inspired Picks for Year-Round Sipping

Wine friends,

Although the weather's been frigid, spring is lurking just around the corner... so much so, we can almost taste it! Well, maybe not – but hey, we're going to drink like it.

Here at Windmill, we believe that chillable reds and full-bodied rosés are perfect for year-round drinking. Sure, they remind us of sunnier days and summery weather, but in reality, these easy-drinking styles of wine pair perfectly with a variety of hearty winter foods.

We've taken our spring dreams and winter reality to select two delicious picks for drinking this weekend. First up, we've got a tasty red blend from Ad Vinum, located in the Southern Rhône. Produced from Grenache, Carignan, Mourvèdre, and Roussanne, this juicy bottle explodes with flavors of tart cherries, raspberry coulis, and strawberries. Think of it like carbonic-meets-full-body in the best way (in other words, sunny day wine on a cooler temperature day).

Next up, we've got a full-bodied Bandol rosé from Bastide de la Ciselette. Contrary to popular belief, these flavor-packed wines from Bandol are actually better with food on the table than crushed by the pool, as their fuller bodies and high levels of acidity render them perfect for pairing with rich cheeses, roasted veggies, and spicy takeout. Homemade fondue or pad thai takeout, anyone?

Stop by this week to grab one (or both) of these wines anytime. We'd love to see you in person.
