About Frog’s Tooth Vineyards and Winery
Born 1999 in the strange city of Copperopolis, the equally strange Frog’s Tooth Vineyards and Winery has been giving folks a true taste of the Sierra Foothills. In fact, you can stop by to wine with them at their tasting room near Main Street in Murphys. Hand sorting each varietal, only the best make it into their award winning wines.

“If wine can have legs, frogs can have teeth.”

Little of Column A, Little of Column B

TASTING NOTES:
Rosé A - “Strawberry, cranberry, red cherry, very floral with a lot of rose, herbaceous notes with sweet basil, juicy, creamy coating mouthfeel with soft acidity. We make a version of this Rose’ every year. It is made from the free run juice just out of the press of each of our red wines. In 2018 this included 14 different varieties.“ (AbV 15.1%, RS 0%)

Rosé B - “Raspberry, candied red cherry, light sage and eucalyptus, soft yet creamy mouthfeel with light tannins. At the 2018 harvest we realized that one section of grafts, Syrah, had produced enough fruit to pick, but not yet a hardy red wine. So now what to do with the fruit. We decided that a blend with some existing Grenache Blanc fruit would make an interesting combo.” (AbV 13.5%, RS 0.5%)

BARRELS:
9 months in 100% stainless steel.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
The phrase “a little of column A and a little of column B” likely originated from how American Chinese restaurant menus often in the mid-1900’s and to this day would have columns of entrees labeled A and B that could be combined in an order. People really liked the concept so it became a metaphor I guess?

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
N/A

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
Chinese food. American Chinese, not traditional.
