Naughty and Nice Wines, Perfect Pairings for All Girls and Boys

Dec. 10, 2010 - PRLog -- CHICAGO, IL- This holiday season, Fresh Coast Distributors is making nice (and naughty) with the gift of wines from Chateau Chantal, Naughty and Nice red wines.  For the first time, several Chicago area retailers are stocking both vinos and hosting tasting events featuring them this December.

For those who may not make it onto Santa’s list, Naughty is a dry, unique red blend of Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Gamay and Malbec, excellent for pairing with holiday meals, especially turkey or pork.  For the good kids this year, it’s Nice, a fruity, semi-sweet red blend of the same grapes but with a sweeter finish and a perfect pairing with grilled foods, BBQ, pasta and pizza. “These are great, locally produced wines that add a little fun to gifting.  Choose whether your recipient has been naughty or nice, or get both and let them decide,” says Darcy Morowitz, CFO/Partner of Fresh Coast Distributors.

Naughty and Nice wines can be found in Chicago at Poison Cup Wine and Art Boutique (http://www.poisoncup.com), Armanetti’s Beverage Mart at 3530 N. Lincoln Ave and Malloy’s Finest Wine & Spirits (http://www.malloysfinest.com) in Naperville and Glen Ellyn where they will be holding a tasting of both along with their sister white blends, Virtue and Vice next Saturday, December 18th from 1:00-5:00.  Armanetti’s and Poison Cup are both hosting a tasting of Naughty, Nice and Chateau Chantal sparkling wines, Celebrate and Tonight on Saturday, December 11th between 2:00-5:00. Retailers interested in carrying Chateau Chantal wines can contact Fresh Coast Distributors online or at (312) 952-1620.
