Date Night Wines to Savor
Selecting the right wine can transform a good date into an unforgettable one. At Laurel Haven Estate, we offer a curated selection of date night wines to suit every palate and occasion.
For those who prefer white wines, our crisp Chardonnay offers notes of apple and pear, perfect for starting the evening. Its light acidity pairs wonderfully with seafood appetizers or creamy pasta dishes.
Red wine enthusiasts will appreciate our bold Cabernet Sauvignon. With rich flavors of blackberry and a hint of oak, it’s an excellent companion to grilled meats or hearty vegetarian dishes.
For a touch of romance, consider our sparkling rosé. Its delicate bubbles and subtle berry notes make it an ideal choice for toasting to special moments or pairing with desserts.
Unforgettable Wine and Food Matches
The art of pairing wine and food is about creating harmony on your palate. At Laurel Haven Estate, we’ve perfected this art to ensure every bite and sip enhances your dining experience.
Our sommelier recommends starting with lighter wines and progressing to fuller-bodied options as your meal progresses. For instance, pair our zesty Sauvignon Blanc with a fresh salad or light appetizer to awaken your taste buds.
For main courses, consider how the wine’s characteristics complement the dish. Our velvety Merlot, with its soft tannins and plum notes, pairs beautifully with roasted chicken or mushroom risotto.
Don’t forget dessert! Our late harvest Riesling, with its honeyed sweetness, is a perfect match for fruit-based desserts or cheese platters, providing a delightful end to your meal.
