Robibero Serendipity

Last night Dominique made chicken with Bone Suckin' Sauce, a favorite BBQ concoction we discovered when we went down to Charleston some years ago. It instantly became our favorite, and we've been using it every year since. And our sons love it too. It has just enough sweetness for them, enough tangy-ness that it's just not a globe of ketchup-y syrup, and enough heat so it stands up.

I came home through the sleet and snow from work, driving down snowy back country roads up in the Hudson Valley, only to come home to the warm soft glow of light pouring out from our house's windows.

The chicken smelled glorious, and when it came out, it was golden brown, and even crispy charred in some places, after she broiled it for the last fifteen minutes. It smelled and tasted delicious!

But what to have? We didn't want a red, and we discussed a rose' or even a blush. But at the last minute I remembered we had a bottle of cold Robibero Serendipity in the fridge. Out it came!

Robibero Vineyards is among the newest of Hudson Valley's wineries. It is a family owned and family run endeavor, and should be properly lauded.

Serendipity is a white wine with big apple and a whiff of something slightly more exotic...maybe kiwi? The actual wine is a smashing blend blend of 65% Seyval Blanc and 35% Chardonnay. It has a bright, fresh, zesty taste, that stood up wonderfully to our chicken. It was so good, even after we were done with the chicken, we sat at the table until we were done with the wine.

This is a wonderfully, refreshing white. A great table wine. Enjoy!
