Sha Na Na Non

TASTING NOTES:
A clear and deep garnet hue. On the nose there may be cola, cherries, and a slight spice. Ripe raspberry and cassis are contrasted by a hint of dried tobacco and leather on the tongue. The wine then finishes strong with lush dark chocolate. (AbV 14.8%)

BARRELS:

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
In the late 70’s, as with all time periods, folks who grew up in the 50’s and 60’s started to get nostalgic. And when people get nostalgic, by golly, there’s a ripe market to capitalize on. Case in point: Sha Na Na. With several dozen members across over fifty years, they started out in 1969 as an a cappella group made up of Columbia University students, performing classic 50’s and 60’s music with a campy Greaser aesthetic. They became their own thing and eventually even had their own show by 1977.

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
Tri tip, roasted duck, or cheesecake.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
Something greasy?
