Wines
We recently added a Zinfandel Rosé from Turley Vineyards to our assortment and we believe it’s the perfect Rosé to transition from Summer to Fall. Historically, White Zinfandel has had a good heart but a bad reputation, and Turley is here to change that. They select a few Zinfandel vines to pick early for this wine, which is fermented in stainless steel and then aged in used French barriques. The palate is high in acidity, low in alcohol, well-structured, and velvety with dry tannins, complemented by aromas of wild strawberries, watermelon, mint, and white pepper.
This Rosé pairs beautifully with a variety of foods, including crudo, charcuterie, spicy dishes, shellfish, and pasta, and should be served at 40˚-50˚F. Priced at $30, it’s a great value from consistently highly rated, well-respected Turley Vineyards, known for their Zinfandels, and this rosé is proof that they know what they’re doing when it comes to Zinfandels of all kinds.

Gourmet Updates
Have you made plans for Labor Day weekend next week? Make sure to order your torta ahead of time to ensure you have a wedge for all your parties and gatherings. Sun-dried Tomato & Pesto is the classic, crowd pleaser, but don’t miss out on Melody’s other great flavors. The Coconut Curry is a sweet torta bursting with flavor; the shredded coconut, golden raisins, dried apricots, and cashews make this one a cult favorite. And a great addition to any party is the Bourbon-soaked Pecan and Fig Torta; this one is topped with bourbon-soaked pecans and layered with fig jam and blue cheese, and its classic flavor profile stands on its own.
If you’re looking for something delightful to serve at your next party, try one of our charcuterie boards. We create hand-crafted, custom charcuterie and cheese boards for all occasions and any number of people. We also make gift bags or boxes for anyone on your list. Order by emailing Serenity using the link below, calling us at 513-561-6956, or stopping by the shop.
