“Gold in color, the wine has a perfumed nose of honeysuckle blossom, grilled pear, sun-kissed yellow apple and orange zest. Creamy in texture, the wine huddles with dried orange citrus and moves into white peach skin on the finish. Pair with red snapper, grilled salmon and charcuterie.” — Reggie Solomon
