The Adrice summer release 2023: varietals, blends and the Vaqueras dessert wine, each one matched with a dish.
For this summer release, Winemaker Pam Adkins does it again with her craft, her knowledge and ability to transform a little grape into this amazing wines we’re releasing. Varietals, blends and the always divine Vaqueras (Cowgirls) a beautiful dessert wine aged in rye whiskey barrels (American oak), pretty rare in the Washington wine market and one of my favorites from Adrice’s multiple price awarded line up! And for me, the Chef, a complete privilege to play with those awesome flavours and textures coming out of the bottle to imagine and create the perfect food pairing for each of the wines. Was a pleasure creating this pairings once again and will always be!
Enjoy! Cheers!
Mauricio Sanchez.
