Wine Bug Sips & Bites - Wine and Food Pairing

Wine Bug Sips



Welcome to the Wine Bug Sip.  Today I am going to feature an everyday wine that is delicious, affordable, and easily available.  The wine is Apothic Red 2014.  I bought this today for $8.99, I know it lists for $12.99

The winery is Apothic, this term comes from Apotheca, a mysterious place where wine was blended and stored in 13th century Europe.  The wine maker Debbie Jeurgenson, crafts her bold blends from some of the best grape in California. In her words, "I strive to tell a story with each blend of Apothic," Debbie explains. "Whether it's one of drama, intrigue or romance, the wines of Apothic are truly original." 

A visit to the web site is a must, you can have your palm read, the alchemist will craft you a cocktail, you can upload a picture for a Dark Portrait.  Not your typical winery website.  You can enter your address to find a dealer near you.

Apothic Red is inspired by the “Apotheca” and offers a unique wine experience.  It is a delightful blend of Zinfandel, Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon.  Experience a taste of dark red fruit with hints of vanilla and mocha.  A truly sociable wine to share.
