Wine Buying Tips

Wine Grand CaymanWines from all corners of the globe are available at Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits. Let us help you get to know the flavor profiles and regions of some of our favorite red and white wine grapes.

White Wines

Chardonnay: This popular grape grows all over the world, but some of the best come from France, Italy, California, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Try the elegant Lewis Cellars Chardonnay from California’s Napa Valley paired with mild Caribbean dishes, seafood, chicken, or pork.

Pinot Grigio/Pinot Gris: This fine white wine has crisp, light, fruit flavors. In addition to Italy, France, Germany and California, it has also become the pre-eminent white wine grape from Oregon. Try the lively Ruffino Lumina Pinot Grigio from Italy. It pairs well with seafood and pasta dishes.

Riesling: Rieslings are among the finest light, fruity wines in the world. Some of the best come from Germany and Austria, but France, Washington, New York and Australia are close behind. Try Blue Fish Sweet Riesling from Pfalz, Germany for its ripe peach, pear, and apricot flavors and great value. It pairs well with seafood and Asian foods.

Sauvignon Blanc: This grape can deliver interesting flavors. It is now the benchmark white wine of New Zealand and a major player in France, Austria, Australia, Chile, South Africa, and California. Try the excellent Southern Right Sauvignon Blanc from Walker Bay, South Africa. Sauvignon Blanc should be served chilled and pairs well with everything from salads to seafood.

Red Wines

Cabernet Sauvignon: Cabernet Sauvignon is the king of red wine grapes and is widely accepted as one of the world’s best varieties. it is best known for its blackberry, currants, and dark cherry flavors and pairs well with red meat. We recommend the vibrant Pied a Terre Cabernet from Sonoma County, California..

Carménère: This medium-bodied red wine from Chile’s Rapel Valley is similar in body and texture to Merlot. It’s treasured for its red-and-black berry flavors, hints of coffee and spicy notes. We recommend the Vina Maipo Carmenere Vitral. Try it with roasted pork ribs.

Syrah/Shiraz: Shiraz is Australia’s claim to fame, but luscious versions also come from France, California and Washington. The wine pairs well with spare ribs and grilled meats. Yellow Tail Shiraz from South Australia is a staff favorite.

Zinfandel: This wine is lighter in color than other reds but has a bold taste with notes of berries, sage, white pepper, and licorice. Some of the best versions come from California. We recommend Angry Bunch Zinfandel from the Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma County, California. Try it with salmon.
