Here at Murphy-Goode, we love making wine. Flat-out love it. We’ve

won plenty of awards and plan to win a whole lot more. That said, we

also love football. And family. And laughing ‘til we can barely breathe.

You see, the same passion we have for wine, we unabashedly bring to

everything we do. We live every day as if it were the best day in our lives.

And who’s to say it isn’t? Great wine, great family, great friends. That’s

what Murphy-Goode is all about. So what do you say, are you in?

THOUGHTS FROM WINEMAKER DAVID READY, JR. “Inviting aromas of black cherry and thyme deliver a wine with rich flavors of blackberry jam, nutmeg and dark fruit.”

OUR FAVORITE FOOD COMBOSBarbecued meats and vegetables are a natural with this Merlot. Try marinated tri-tip or your favorite cut of fresh red meat. Drizzle olive oil on vegetables, sprinkle with sea salt and add them to the grill.

THOUGHTS FROM WINEMAKER DAVID READY, JR. “The 2012 California Chardonnay was crafted with fruit from cool coastal regions of California. This wine opens with aromas and flavors of red apple, pear and tropical fruits. Streaks of lemon creme with hints of vanilla entice another sip. This is an approachable Chardonnay, yet richly textured, while retaining a balance of integrated fruit and toasty oak. The perfect cocktail wine.”

THOUGHTS FROM WINEMAKER DAVID READY, JR.

“The 2013 Fumé was predominately fermented in stainless steel to

retain the expression of bright citrus and tropical fruit aromatics

while the balance was barrel fermented in French and American oak

to increase the mouth feel and develop lush flavors of white peach

and honeydew melon. The Semillon adds wonderful expressions of

floral notes and adds nice texture.”

shellfish and thai chicken, but it pairs just as well with you relaxing poolside.

THOUGHTS FROM WINEMAKER DAVID READY, JR..

“Our 2012 Pinot Noir comes from vineyards up and down the coast of California, including Monterey, Santa Barbara and Mendocino. Cool conditions in these prime growing spots keep grapes at a perfect balance between vibrant dark fruit character and bright acidity. Notes of vanilla from aging in French and American oak add complexity to the intense black cherry aromas and flavors.”

Technichal Goodes

2012 CALIFORNIA

“Unpretentious and fun. Pinot Grigio is a wonderful wine to enjoy on a picnic, at the beach, or wherever. This is a crisp, light-bodied wine with an abundance of citrus fruits, white peach and pear with a touch of spice. Enjoy with friends or all by yourself. Either way you have made a GOODE choice.”

To us, there’s nothing better than enjoying a glass of our Pinot Grigio with grilled chicken, fish & chips, and calamari. Light pastas are a hit too!

D’ARENBERG THE GALVO GARAGE CABERNET BLENDSOUTH AUSTRALIA 2009

A “Bordeaux Blend” from Down-Under with a palate that is savory, spicy, and elegant. Cabernet Sauvignon provides the structure and some dark fruit with mint. Merlot brings bright plum and flower notes. Old vine Cabernet Franc gives dark and dense color while Petit Verdot imparts spiciness and tannins. I could also just say “A great red blend from one of the most respected winemakers in South Australia”.

Tones of bright berries and warm spice make it the perfect pairing for most meat and many cheeses. Decant and drink now, or lay down for a few years. Cheers! – D. Taylor

TRIPLE CROWNNORTH AMERICANBLENDED WHISKEY

“But Jesse,” you say, “We are known for Bourbon in the US and leave blended whiskey to the Canadians.” “Not always,” I say back to you with an award-winning smile and twinkle in my eye. I hand you a glass of the stuff. Immediately, you’ll find hints of vanilla, caramel, and good minerality in this sweet spirit. It is a great bottle to keep in the fridge for a quick drink with friends or family. This crowd-pleasing whiskey is well worth your time, especially at this price.

JESSE’SSPIRIT PICK

10 CANE RUM,TRINIDAD

10 Cane Rum is premium rum created from only the first press of sugar cane in Trinidad. The golden color is derived from aging this world-class spirit in French oak barrels. It is called 10 Cane, because it takes 10 stalks of cane to produce this rum. On the nose, this rum boasts of light fruit, vanilla, and caramel. The taste is sweet, but not too sweet, and has a velvety feel. There is a hint of citrus and honey as well. This rum can be sipped or mixed in a premium cocktail, because it is not near as sweet as rum that is made from molasses. If you want to break away from the norm, and try a superior product, this won’t let you down!
