Glasshaus Wines

“Great wine for the greater good,” Glasshaus is a true community supported winery that places purpose over profit – and is making remarkable wines. Soft and silky, the 2014 Pinot Noir shows off a delicate, transparent bright ruby red color. Aromas of fresh red cherry fruit, minerality and a hint of smokiness are complimented by earthy notes – think the freshness and crushed twigs of hiking through a forest. The palate is vibrant, yet silky, with lovely red fruit flavors, a hint of vanilla and a delightfully refreshing, lingering finish.

Pinot Noir is frequently suggested as an ideal wine for a wide range of food pairings. Why? This grape is known for its higher acidity which helps cut through the savory richness of many dishes, while its lighter to medium body will compliment, not overpower food. Try with roasted turkey, duck confit or a filet of beef au poivre. Experiment with vegetarian dishes like breaded mushrooms, roasted vegetables and Porcini mushroom risotto. Try fruit-based sauces to compliment the red fruit notes in the wine. Doing a cheese tray? Consider camembert, brie and gruyere.
