Manifesto! Rocks Punk, Makes Wine and Snags Summer Honors
Manifesto! Wine Cellars’ Sauvignon Blanc bags a spot on Whole Foods’ Top Ten and a NY Times recommendation.
GRATON, Calif., June 3 /PRNewswire/ – Being across “the other side of the tracks” from Napa Valley didn’t stop this group of surfing, skateboarding winemakers from proving California wines don’t have to say Napa to mean great. Manifesto!’s 2007 Sauvignon Blanc Suisun Valley just hit Whole Foods Market’s much-anticipated list of “Top Ten Summer Wines” and grabbed the spotlight in The New York Times’ May 20 story, “Complex American Wine at a Price Easy to Pay.”
The only SB to make the Top Ten, Manifesto!’s “smooth texture and food-friendly acidity” make it a great addition to a “sunny picnic,” according to Whole Foods’ wine buyers. They recommended pairing the SB with sushi, oysters or any fresh goat cheese because of its “ripe lemon, gooseberry, grapefruit and orange peel” flavors.
In the Times, Eric Asimov said Manifesto!’s “brashly fruity style, was dry and refreshing with flavors of mint and herbs for intrigue’s sake,” and cited it on his short list of under-$20 “American treasures” well worth checking out this summer.
Manifesto! also recently released its 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon North Coast, another great wine that should cost more. Flavors of big, ripe, dark cherries with a touch of tobacco give the wine a bold structure and a long finish perfect for the summer grilling season.
The guys at Manifesto! recommend this: Grab a surfboard, head to the beach with your grill, sip some SB while the sun is high, then fire up the grill and open the Cab. It’ll make for a brilliant summer day – and a great excuse to try two great-value California wines from the wrong side of the tracks.
About Manifesto! Wine Cellars
Manifesto! Wine Cellars was founded on the premise that we could work with a handful of growers to produce great wine without charging a whole lot of money. We treat Manifesto! like we’re making fancy bottles of “for really special occasions” wine by making long-term commitments to our growers, paying them more than we have to and putting immense amounts of attention into the winemaking process. But, when you drink Manifesto! you won’t hear that big sucking sound from your wallet that comes with wine this good. www.manifestowines.com.
