Dry wines
Pear Tree Made from a blend of three different grapes, this off-dry white has a hint of pears and minerality. Pairs well with soft cheeses and white meat. Chateau Nouveau 2018 Made from a blend of Norton and Chambourcin grapes grown in the Nearwood Vineyard. This dry red wine is light-bodied in the Beaujolais style. Castle Grigio 2017 This white wine is a nice balance, not too sweet or too dry. Made in the style of Pinot Grigio from Edelweiss grapes grown in Agency, Iowa, it pairs well with fish or white meats. New Release Raceway Red 2019 This sweet red wine is a smooth blend of 3 grapes: St. Croix, Frontenac and Marquette from the Nearwood vineyards. Floral tones with a subtle spicy finish will delight. Named after Knoxville’s racing tradition. |
Sweet Wines
Speedway Sweet 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. (Limited supply). 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. |
