Sweeter Side | Spring 2024
Here at Oliver, we take sweet wines seriously. Carefully crafted from the best ingredients, this club is full of delightful, sweet treats to enjoy as the weather warms up. Get adventurous with our bright, tropical Vignoles, tangy and citrusy Key Lime Pie, or a light and refreshing sneak-peak into new projects coming this summer.
Berry Blend
When you’re looking for a tart, rich wine this is the one you should grab. This blend of Oregon Marionberries (aka blackberries) and bright blueberry creates a delightful, rich flavor. Savor its jammy scent and deep purple color while you sip. Add to iced tea with a slice of lemon to complete a warm day in the garden.
Berry Blend Reduction
- 1 cup Oliver Berry Blend wine
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- ½ tsp vanilla (optional)
Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, while stirring until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and cook for about fifteen minutes, or until reduced to about ½ cup. You can easily double the recipe, just add 5 minutes cooking time.
Creekbend Catawba 2022
An Oliver essential. It’s hard to resist a sip of our estate-grown Catawba. Lush, blush, and delightful, it’s a springtime classic. Catawba grapes are native to our climate and are full of strawberry, peach, and melon flavors. Enjoy this subtly sweet treat with a picnic on one of those rare sunny-and-72 kind of days. Pair with a light cheese, bread, and strawberry jam. Chef’s kiss.
Blossom Drop - New Release!
Oooh la la. Add a little glimmer to your day, with a sip of this exclusive sneak-peak. Blossom Drop (along with two other delicious libations) will arrive to shelves in the summer, and tastes like a sip of a secret garden. Inspired by a Bee’s Knees cocktail, delicate flavors of elderflower, citrus, and honey wash over your palate with a light body, for a refreshing (and easy) cocktail alternative.
Key Lime Pie
We’re sending Key Lime Pie as a little reminder that summer is on the way (hang in there!). It channels all things sunshine, and is the perfect choice to make your staycation feel a little more like a tropical getaway. We love adding this into a creamy cocktail, or topping with whipped cream. Save it for summer and make some tasty popsicles. Enjoy with a beach read to complete the experience.
Key Lime Pie Popsicles
- 4 individual cups vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Oliver Key Lime Pie wine
- ½ cup vodka
- ¼ cup condensed milk
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 2 tsp lime juice
Combine yogurt, wine, vodka, condensed milk, lime zest, and lime juice and blend in blender or thoroughly whisk. Fill popsicle molds 3/4 full and sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top. Freeze for 6-8 hours. Remove from popsicle molds. Makes about 12 popsicles. Enjoy!
Creekbend Vignoles 2023
Ah, summer. This Creekbend specialty lets the tropical notes of the Vignoles varietal shine. We curate an ideal environment for Vignoles grapes by planting them at the highest point in the vineyard, ensuring they get plenty of sun and wind to allow them to thrive. The bright, tropical notes complement evenings spent sharing food & stories under patio lights.
Creekbend Tawny
Our decadent dessert wine is a blend of 50% Chambourcin and 50% Vignoles. Add a touch of coziness to the summer, with this full-bodied wine, brimming with deep flavors of dates, vanilla, fig, and walnut. A fitting addition to balmy nights by the fire pit, while chatting and watching the stars.
