Cypress Bend Vineyards Catherine: I didn’t realize how popular muscadine wines were until I visited North Carolina several years ago. Southerners have long made wine out of wild muscadine grapes for home consumption; and the fruit extends to pies and jellies, too. Named for the family matriarch, this wine is 100% estate-grown Carlos—a widely held cultivar bred in North Carolina. It pours a radiant golden straw color, opening with candied tropical fruit and honeycomb flavors, followed by bright notes of ripe stone fruit. Medium-bodied, brisk acidity tempers the sweetness. This wine is an excellent candidate for spicy ethnic cuisine of all kinds and sells for $12. Visit cypressbendvineyards.com to learn more.
