Green Wine for St. Patrick’s Day
Wine lovers are always seeking opportunities to pop a bottle of their favorite wine. That’s why selecting green wine for St. Patrick’s Day is an exciting part of this holiday — it means more wine for you! To stick with the green theme of this holiday, consider trying one or both of our two favorite green wines.
Packaged in beautiful green bottles, gruner veltliner wines are light and fresh with tongue-tingling acidity and herbal notes. Pair with a hearty meal of green peas and shepherd’s pie for a mouth-watering St. Patrick’s Day celebration.
Sauvignon Blanc pairs well with white meats such as turkey, pork chops and chicken. Quite literally, sauvignon blanc originates from the Bordeaux region of France as a green-skinned grape variety.
If you’re looking to “go green” in a different sense on St. Patrick’s Day, opt for an organic or biodynamic wine from Marketview Liquor.
