<p>Tavernello is a #1 selling wine brand in Italy owned by Caviro. Consumers choose Tavernello because it is genuine, light and suitable for everyday use.</p>

Light, because it has a low alcoholic strength, which makes it suitable for everyday use.</p>

The wine is flavoured with herbs and spices (marjoram, peppermint, melissa, camomile, thyme, lime blossom, coriander, almond). &#8220;Black Healer&#8221; is renowned for its characteristic spicy notes, blackberry and flower tones.</p>
<h3>Food Pairing</h3>
<p>It is perfect if served with poultry and fish, and as an aperitif or tonic drink. Served chilled to 14 &#8211; 16° C.</p>
<h2>Fanagoria Black Healer Awards</h2>

<p> A recipe for success of “Golitsyn Wines” TM is simple: it lies in use of natural product only, sophisticated winemaking technology, the basis of which is a heritage of a great Crimean winemaker Duke L.S. Golitsyn, as well as in quality control at each stage of production (from vine growing to the product supply to the consumers).</p>
<h2>Golitsin Cabernet Sauvignon Tasting Notes</h2>
<p>A known French type of grape cultivated commonly in middle and southern parts of viticulture of CIS countries. This variety is a middle-late ripening one.</p>

The color is bright, ruby, sometimes dark-crimson with oniony tint. Golitsin Cabernet Sauvignon is flavorful, fine, refreshing, with characteristic odor of forest flowers, with saturated, mild, with tones of almond, cherry and prunes, meetly harsh taste.</p>
<h3>Food Pairing</h3>

<p>Established in Elgin in 1995, Thandi – a Xhosa word meaning &#8216;nurturing love&#8217; – is a wine that niches on quality, spawned the Fairtrade trend, and helps to uplift and empower previously disadvantaged people.</p>
<p>Already synonymous with excellent quality, Thandi also advocates ethical trading and social transformation. The community is actively involved at all stages during the winemaking process, from working in the vineyards to producing the award-winning wines. the company of wine people™, one of South Africa’s leading wine exporters and producers, is playing a vital role in terms of mentorship and skills transfer on the Thandi project.</p>
<p>Revered for its refined elegance, Thandi&#8217;s secret to success is not the fact that good taste is a constant ingredient, but rather that the brand helps create wealth and uplifts previously disadvantaged people. Profits and Fairtrade premiums are ploughed back into various upliftment initiatives such as a crèche for farm worker’s children and basic adult education.</p>
<p>In 2003, Thandi became the first wine brand in the world to receive Fairtrade accreditation.  No longer taking baby steps, Thandi is instead growing in leaps and bounds, gaining international acclaim and firmly establishing itself as a leading empowerment wine brand.</p>

<p>Recently the San Francisco Chronicle published an article entitled “Have a Picnic With These Wines.” This article focused heavily on wines packaged in alternative formats i.e. bag-in-box, PET bottles and Tetra Paks. They mentioned that box wine is great to bring along to a picnic because of transportation conveniences and the ability for wines to be kept fresher longer.</p>
<p>Plus, if you and your picnic pals can&#8217;t quite polish off a box in the park, you can bring it home and it will be good for another couple of weeks!</p>
<h3>Here are their top boxed wine picks:</h3>

<p>At Badger Mountain Vineyards, we are constantly trying to make our great organic wines affordable and accessible. Each box of PURE WINE contains the equivalent of 4 standard bottles, and this enivornmentally-friendly package enables the wine to stay fresh for weeks after opening. PURE WINE gives us the opportunity to indulge in blending a number of varietals to create a complex, satisfying, everyday glass of wine free of any additives or preservatives. As an apretif, with foods, or just when you feel like it&#8230;our organic wines are PURE pleasure!</p>
