Cheers to Country Red and Country White

Country Red and Country White cows, we salute you!

Over the years our vintage cow labels have had a great run, but all good things must end. This spring our Country Red and Country White cows are being put out to pasture, making these end-of-an-era bottles into collectibles.

Bottle collectors, take advantage of this opportunity to snap up some bottles for your collections.

But don’t worry, Country Red and Country White will continue! The same award winning wines you love will debut fresh new labels later this year!

Dunne on Wine Talks St. James Winery Fruit Wines

St. James Winery has an extensive menu of fruit wines.

Over the last 10 years, we’ve mastered the art of making award-winning fruit wines (the most awarded fruit wines in the country).

Thanks to Mike Dunn and his “Dunne on Wine” for the shout-out to fruit wines and St. James Winery in his recent column in the Sacramento Bee.

Summer Fruit Fun

The farmers’ markets are full of the fruits of the summer season, so why not put those fresh fruit flavors in your wine glass, too? St. James Winery’s fruit wines are made from 100% fruit juice and feature fresh from the field tastes, so it’s no wonder they’re the most awarded fruit wines in the country!

Mix them in wine cocktails. Sip a glass all by itself after a long day of work. Cook with fruit wines to in sauces, mains, and desserts. Stick with your favorites or try one of each:

Friendship School Salad Dressing

A trip to the farmer’s market is also sure to yield some mouth watering salad fixings. Whether it’s leafy greens, cucumbers, or broccoli & cauliflower, top your salad with our Friendship School Salad Dressing, a quick and easy mix of wine, oil, onion, sugar, salt, and worchestershire.

Mix! Sip! Cook!

St. James Winery’s innovative line of fruit wines are the perfect complement to a summer meal. And with all the fresh fruits in season, the only difficulty is deciding what to cook!

Here are a few delicious ideas:

Not only do our fruit wines taste great in food, they are delicious when savored all by themselves. At the recent LA Wine Competition wine judges awarded five of our fruit wines scores of 90+, including Peach which won Best of Class!

Strawberry Fields Forever

It’s springtime, and that means it’s time to break out the fruit wines! Nothing says “spring is here!” quite like a glass of St. James Winery’s Strawberry Wine!

And one of our favorite ways to enjoy our Strawberry Wine is with this delicious and easy mixed drink. Drinks, like good food, should involve multiple senses. This one looks great, smells great because of the mint, and tastes great.

Strawberry Fields Forever

Ingredients

8-10 fresh mint leaves
1-1/2 ounces Limoncello
3 ounces St. James Winery Strawberry Wine
cold club soda

Instructions

In a mixing glass muddle mint and Limoncello.
Fill with ice and, using a Boston shaker, give a quick shake to let the ice further break up the mint.
Pour contents, ice and all, into a large wine glass.
Add wine and top off with a splash of club soda.

This is a refreshing, thirst quenching drink that is also modest in the alcohol department so you can sit on a deck and drink a lot of them on a sunny day.

To make them by the pitcher, simply muddle the mint in the bottom of the pitcher, then add two part wine and one part limoncello. To keep the fizz factor, add the club soda as you pour individual drinks.

Warm Treats

With winter weather staying cool outside, now’s the time to keep things cozy inside. Turn on the oven and create something warm and wonderful using St. James Winery’s fruit wines.

Pastry crust baked with cinnamon and sugar is delicious with a Blackberry Compote featuring our Blackberry Wine.

Try Raspberry Wine for a burst of berry flavors for a twist on the traditional Fruit Wine Cake.

Super-simple goodness: a dollop of ice cream on a slice of pound cake, topped with warm Reduction Sauce made with our Blueberry Wine.

Warm and toasty, our Baked Brie & Cherry Puff combines brie, honey, pecan, cherries, and Cherry Wine in a warm and creamy treat.

Peach Wine is the star in our Praline & Peach Wine Cobbler, which gets even better when served with a scoop of ice cream!

Fruit Wine Crepes made with our Strawberry Wine are perfect for an elegant dessert or decadent brunch.

Let us know what you cooked up!

Piece of Cake

fruit wine, wine & food

Weekends in October are made for college football, corn mazes & carving pumpkins, and lazy walks through the woods. Cooler days also make it more fun to heat up the oven and make your house smell like home.

At St. James Winery our signature Blackberry Wine Cake is a perennial fall favorite. This cake is an eye-catcher on the table with its jazzy purple color. The sweet buttery blackberry glaze make it a sure-fire winner.

Why not try switching out the Blackberry Wine for one of St. James Winery’s other fruit wines? This cake is delicious as a Blueberry, Cherry, Peach, Raspberry or Strawberry Wine Cake! Simply match the wine and gelatin flavors.
