Drink a Peach

fruit wine, sweet wine, white wine

These late summer days leave us wanting to stop and buy a bushel of peaches from a roadside stand. It’s all sunny days, blue skies, and soft breezes blowin’.

Get in the groove of National Peach Month with St. James Winery’s delicious Peach Wine. With its fresh from the orchard peach taste, it’s the next best thing to biting into a juicy, ripe peach.

Mix it for a Soft Fuzzy Navel cocktail.
Serve a pitcher of Ginger Peach Tea with dinner.
Try a peach wine inspired main: Just Peachy Chicken.
Go southern with Praline and Peach Wine Cobbler and ice cream.
Or indulge in Peach Almond Cake with a glass of peach wine alongside.

And our Peach Wine is absolutely wonderful all by itself, and we’ve got the proof. Just this summer it brought home gold medals at the LA International Wine Competition (scoring 90/100 points!) and at Indy International.

Three of St. James Winery’s most popular wines—Velvet Red, Velvet White, and Pink Catawba—are now available with twist-off bottle caps in the 1.5 liter size. Look for them in the wine aisles of your favorite grocery stores or wine stores this May.

Several years ago, St. James Winery became one of the first Missouri wineries to embrace twist-off cap technology for their wines. “For winemakers, twist-off caps are a godsend,” said Andrew Meggitt, executive winemaker at St. James Winery. “They provide the absolute, best possible seal for wines. If you want to control the quality of the wine, and believe me at St. James Winery we’re all about quality, then this is just so much better than traditional cork closures.”

When asked why twist-caps are important to improving quality, Meggitt replied, “Wine is an organic, changing thing, and oxygen is not its friend. Once the wine is bottled we absolutely want to keep oxygen out and flavors in. Twist-cap seals do exactly that. They’re tighter, more secure, and much more reliable. St. James Winery’s Velvet Red, Velvet White, and Pink Catawba wines are made to enjoy young, so if you want those fresh, bursting with fruit flavors, then you want twist-off caps on your wine. Not only do they keep the wine fresher in the first place, they also help with storing leftover wines to maintain the flavor of the wine.”

Another benefit Meggitt is quick to point out is the ease of opening the bottles. “There’s nothing worse than getting to your picnic spot and realizing you didn’t pack a corkscrew. With twist-caps, you don’t need any special tools, and they’re a snap to open. Grab a 1.5 liter bottle of Pink Catawba, twist the neck sleeve – not the cap itself – counter-clockwise, and it’s open in a second.”

A pioneer in the production of sweet wines, St. James Winery has long been the premium producer of sweet wines in the United States. Perfecting the art and science of sweet wine making has been a passion at St. James Winery for more than 40 years. St. James Winery is the largest and most awarded winery in Missouri.

A pioneer in the production of sweet wines, St. James Winery has long been the premium producer of sweet wines in the United States. Perfecting the art and science of sweet wine making has been a passion at St. James Winery for more than 40 years. This spring, St. James Winery celebrates their commitment to an award-winning line of sweet wines, by launching Satisfy Your Sweet, a new program designed to spotlight their sweet spot.

“We’re really excited about our new Satisfy Your Sweet program, because it reflects exactly what St. James Winery is all about, satisfying your taste for sweet wines with high quality and high value,” said Peter Hofherr, CEO of St. James Winery. “The sweet wines in this program—Velvet Red, Velvet White, Pink Catawba, Country Red, and Country White—have won nearly 500 awards in just the past 5 years alone.”

Satisfy Your Sweet reflects St. James Winery’s dedication to spot-on flavor in every single bottle of wine they make. “Delivering on quality is really important to us, especially in light of a recent study that proves people who prefer sweet wines actually have the highest level of taste sensitivity,” said Hofherr. “Here at the winery we work hard to make sure our sweet wines delivers consistent flavor from bottle to bottle, year in, year out. That consistency is one of the reasons our sweet wine fans are so devoted to our sweet wines. Our fans are tremendous brand ambassadors for us, and we love them for it.”

To connect with those brand ambassadors, St. James Winery plans for full social media engagement as part of the Satisfy Your Sweet campaign. Anchored by a QR code promotion, there will be Facebook and Twitter contests for opportunities to win neoprene bottle holders or ice buckets featuring the St. James Winery logo. Look for Satisfy Your Sweet point of sale materials for Velvet Red, Velvet White, Pink Catawba, Country Red, and Country White wine in the wine section of grocery, liquor, or wine stores throughout the Midwest and South.

St. James Winery has been growing grapes and making sweet wines for more than 40 years, and that makes them sweet wine experts. St. James Winery is the largest and most awarded winery in Missouri. During the 2011 competition season alone, St. James Winery’s sweet wines earned 55 medals from national and international competitions. A family owned and operated winery, St. James Winery is online at www.stjameswinery.com.
