Plum Wine

The Queen took a flagon of sweet plum wine from a passing servant girl and filled Sansa’s cup.  “Drink,” she commanded coldly. “Perhaps it will give you courage to deal with truth for a change.” (II: 621)

Sweet Plum Wine

Our thoughts:

Your first sip of this wine will make you feel like you’ve been punched in the face by a plum, in a good way.  The first sensation is of biting through the skin of a plum, a little coarse, then a burst of flavor.  There then follows a quick whirl of tart-sweet-tart, followed by a lingering taste of pure dark plum.  It feels as though it should be a heavy wine, but is surprisingly light, and would be perfect for summer picnics.

For our plum wine, we selected a local variety from Nashoba Vineyards.  Highly recommended!
