Houston Astros team up with big wine brand for limited-edition bottles

Baseball and beer go jointly like Jose Altuve and house operates. But now, lovers who want to sip a little something other than a cold brew or Alex Bregman’s and Lance McCullers Jr.’s hard seltzer have a spirited new option.
Woodbridge Wines, the Robert Mondavi brand and official wine partner of Big League Baseball, is releasing minimal-version Houston Astros commemorative, 1.5 liter bottles of two of its vintage wines, the company declared.

Supporters can decide for a Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay. The restricted-run Woodbridge varietals will be obtainable beginning Monday, July 11 — just in time for MLB All-Star Week — at stores wherever Woodbridge wines are offered.

As for the grapes: Woodbridge’s Taxi serves up hints of cherries, berries, cedar, brown sugar, chocolate, and caramel, all of which pair nicely with grilled meats, tomato-dependent pasta dishes, or, potentially, a loaded scorching canine.

The common Chardonnay, in the meantime, characteristics aromas of pear, oak and cinnamon and is a good partner to gentle appetizers and salads, or hearty dishes such as roast rooster or risotto.

Alongside with the signature bottles, the Woodbridge line also delivers Cab and Chardonnay in scaled-down, far more moveable pouch packs — great for pool parties or cookouts.

Take into account these new wines a refined way to increase a glass when Yordan Alvarez goes garden or when celebrating a big Breggy Bomb.
