Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from grapes, with out any other additions of enzymes, sugars, etc. Wines can be classified by the method they were produced. If the grapes are macerated with the skins, the wine will be red. It will be white, if the grapes are macerated without the skins (all grape juice is clear in color), and rose if there was a limited skins contact. If the wine contains carbon dioxide (either as a result of natural fermentation, or addition of CO2 to the bottle), it can be classified as a sparkling wine. Some wine producers choose to grow their grapes sustainably, or organically, and therefore their wines can carry a sustainable or organic label on the bottle. If the process of fermentation was stopped before all the sugars in the grapes are converted to alcohol, the wines can be classified as dessert. Some fortified wines also fit in that category.

This one, Marjorie’s Rosé named for Marjorie McCall, McCall Wines founder Russ McCall’s mother is yet another absolutely stunning example of an exceptional Long Island rosé. The sustainably farmed grapes for this wine are hand picked and crushed with a very short skin contact time to impart the lovely pale pink color of this rosé. Marjorie’s Rosé is so soft, smooth and easily drinkable, the one problem you may have with it is how fast it disappears from your glass. The rosé is created with a combination of 51% syrah and 49% merlot. It is fruit forward and filled with the flavors of black cherry and ripe raspberry. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and aged for three months before bottling. While this wine is perfect for picnics and barbecues, it’s sophisticated enough for seafood dinners, lobster, shrimp, oysters, and clams. It’s also a perfect complement for light summer dishes like salads and fruits.

Round flavors and balanced tannins finish with nuances of vanilla and star anise. Classic Pinot Noir pairings like pan-seared duck breast with a cherry reduction will work very well with this wine; but many other meaty or smoky dishes, even savory mushroom-based sautés and braises, also will be nice pairings. Pinot Noir is one of the most versatile food wines available. Non-traditional matches like baked fish topped with herbs and a Provencal-inspired tomato and garlic sauce are possibilities.
