Sweet Wines
Speedway Sweet ‘17 One of our best sellers, this sweet white is hard-charging and bold. A longtime favorite among sprint car fans. Made with Iowa-grown Edelweiss grapes. Try it with pizza. Storybook Sweet 2014 Our old favorite – the Norton grape, makes this wine a delicious bright, sweet red that is good alone or with a fruit dish. Raceway Red Sweet 2013 A step sweeter than it’s brother wine, this earthy, bold red wine is made from St. Croix grapes grown in Ames, IA. Pairs well with sweet and sour Asian dishes and BBQ. Limited stock. What temperature should wine be served?
Serving temperature is important because it brings out the best aroma and flavor appropriate for the wine. A general guideline is red wine should be served at (cool) room temperature 62 to 68 degrees F and white (chilled) at 49 to 55 degrees F. |
