Sparkling Rosé

This non-alcoholic wine tastes just like the real thing. If you’re taking a break from alcohol but love a glass of crisp Rosé, then this is the way to go.

Joyus, based in Seattle, has made a superb Rosé wine ($27), but with the alcohol removed. Making a big splash with the judges in the San Francisco International Wine Competition, it won a gold medal.

Joyus also makes other non-alcoholic wine, including a Cabernet Sauvignon. The company ships for free in the continental United States on orders of $99 or more.

“So hang out with your friends, celebrate that special moment,” say the Joyus people. “We’ve got your back.”

Ever tried wine made in the country of Georgia? Well, for about $14 you can buy a bottle of dry white wine called Tsolikouri made in the village of Orbeli by Teliani Valley, about 120 miles from the capital Tbilisi. The wine has a light-lemon color, aromas of green apple and fruit flavors of grapefruit and pineapple.

Bittersweet Bistro

I attended a marvelous food and wine event recently—A Taste of Paso hosted by Bittersweet Bistro in Aptos. The wines we tasted from Paso Robles were exceptional—as was the restaurant’s superb cuisine.
