One of the longtime producers of quality red wines i Pennsylvania is Pinnacle Ridge Winery in Kutztown, Berks County.
Today is National Red Wine Day.
Frankly, I wish the day would be celebrated in October rather than late summer, when my desires for medium- and full-bodied reds drop amid all the 90-plus degree days. Frankly, it has been a rose and sparkling summer, and for others a chance to go the slushie route.
Still, I’ll never turn down a bottle of red wine or a chance to sample the wide selection of varietals and blends that are produced internationally.
So in a quick tribute, here are some red wine facts and recommendations.
Courtesy of a quick turnaround from the folks at the Fine Wine & Good Spirits Stores, here are the five red wines that have sold the most over the last 52 weeks, including the name, price, 2018-19 unit sales and 2019-20 unit sales. All but the Woodridge (1.5L) come in .750ml bottles.
