My sister had a shin dig at her house last weekend and we needed to get a couple woman's 40's….aka "Wine Bottles". And spring/summer is one of my faves because it means Rose season!! We went to her local spot, Dexter's Wine and Spirits. I have seen the place before from the outside and was drawn to their giant lit up sign.
Walking in at first it seems like a fancier version of a plexi glass liquor stores in so many NY neighborhoods. I wanted to be able to pick up the bottle of wine and read the description. I do like to look at all the labels and seeing some description highlights in a few.
Lucky for my sister, my friend and I the Brooklyn Winery owner was just setting up for a tasting!! What luck! I love me a tasting. There was 4 wines on the menu!!! We started with the Chardonnay moved on to Riesling and then Gewürztraminer and then a red but it slipped my mind which kind it was. I got stuck on the Riesling. It was reminiscent of something so specific. We were able to get a second sample. And then it hit me like a ton of bricks.. of course…LYCHEE!!
It became an impromptu ladies night right there at the wine shop! Such good times! We each got bottles from Connor from the Brooklyn Winery!! I had to stick with my Rose but will definitely be hitting up the wine tours at the winery in Brooklyn. Thanks for teaching us about the grapes, Connor!
I spotted that I even made dexterwinesnyc-Instagram! Can't wait for the next tasting!
