Happy Wine Down Wednesday Winos!
Let me start off by saying this is one of my new favorite wineries. The David Fulton Winery has been around since 1860 and is still family owned today. Pictured above is Richard Mather 5th generation of the Fulton family as he works on the marbled effect on the wax of the ME Wine in the back of the cellar. ME is an affiliated wine created by Richard Mather and Jason Elkin (Mather+Elkin=ME). He is such a cool guy that is really laid back and makes you feel like part of the family. I have never experienced such wonderful customer service experience. I also love that while this winery has been around 155 years but has such a current with the times marketing campaign. It was a breath of fresh air to see wine aimed at my generation and not my parents. Social media is a big part of their campaign and have wines named #Selfie, #Bestie, and #Bromance. Across the # named wines a portion of the proceeds goes to good causes.
So let's get into the wine!
The price ranges from $36-90 with the roughly half ranging in the $35-50 and the ME Wine being the most expensive at $90. As far as the white wines go I liked the Liora it had flavors of creme brulee and cantaloupe and it was a slightly smooth wine. It is a nice wine to drink on a summer evening. #Bromance was the red I was quit fond of. The name matches the fact that it can be a manly drink for a man and thus creating a #bromance. It has a peppery taste to it perfect for my fiancé, yet approachable in tannins enough for my mom. Another cool thing about #bromance is that a portion of the proceeds goes to surviving members of fallen soldiers with the TAPS (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors). To bring awareness to this the wine label is camoed up. Those two wines were the top for me, tell me what you think in the comments.
To sum up my experience it was good wine, great customer service, great causes. What's better than that!
Cheers!
