Major League May

Major League May Wine Details
Price: $9.99 per bottle

Description: White wine with strawberry juice added - gives it color and sweetness sweeter summertime wine good for picnic, BBQ, fruit salad etc. Also has sweet woodruff, a herb that some believe gives the wine a nutty flavor. woodruff was used in the middle ages as a natural medicine for indigestion. (Dr Merrell, a G.I. doc at bassett drinks it and believes the herbal qualities) May wine in Germany was usually the first wine of the season that was ready to drink. (remember may day and spring festivities) White, sweet wines only need 5-6 months to age, so harvest in October and is drinkable by spring. In germany when first wine of season was ready winemaker would lean a broom outside front door of winery with bristles up as a signal to "come and get it".
