Charles
Town Resort Hillbrook Inn & Spa Announces Addition
of
Exclusive Private Label Wines to its Redbook Restaurant
|
Charles
Town, WV – August 2015 / Newsmaker Alert / While
some inns are known for their homemade scones or interesting history, Hillbrook
Inn & Spa offers its very own Signature Wine Series that sets apart
the Redbook Restaurant’s already robust wine list.
Together
with the award-winning winemakers at Dr. Konstantin Frank Wine Cellars
in the Finger Lakes of upstate New York, Hillbrook Inn & Spa owners
Christopher and Carissa Zanella selected two exceptional blends that are
specifically crafted to enhance the Redbook Restaurant’s culinary experience.
“Our
goal is to provide continued excellence in the art of good taste,” says
owner Christopher Zanella. “Partnering with Dr. Konstantin Frank Wine Cellars
enables the Redbook Restaurant to offer two unique and interesting wines
that our guests can only find at our establishment.”
The
Hillbrook Signature Red is a Meritage, blending 59% Cabernet Franc, 35%
Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Merlot. This classic blend of red Bordeaux varieties
is barrel aged for one year, yielding subtle cherry flavors and soft tannins
that are certain to appeal to even the most discerning wine lovers.
The
Hillbrook Signature White is a blend of 50% dry Riesling and 50% Chardonnay.
Fermented separately in stainless steel tanks, this subtle wine has fresh
fruit characters of pear, stone fruits and lemon, supported by light pine
notes and a mineral backbone. Its soft mouth feel and freshness makes it
a versatile wine to enjoy with or without food.
Dr.
Konstantin Frank is credited with igniting the “Vinifera Revolution,” a
movement that forever changed the course of wine growing in the United
States. The Frank family has continued this legacy over the past 50 years
by producing the highest quality wines from the highest quality grapes.
For
the past two decades, Hillbrook Inn & Spa has offered a one-of-a-kind
fine dining experience in West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle. Since Hillbrook
Inn’s early beginnings, the restaurant has tailored meals to the taste
preferences of its esteemed guests and recorded each menu in a series of
red books, thereby ensuring a level of innovative creativity and a promise
that guests won’t receive the same meal twice.
Using
the freshest seasonal and local ingredients, the talent of its culinary
team is evident in the four and five course chef’s choice dinner menus.
Each course is not just memorable – it’s also crafted with guests’ specific
dietary needs in mind. Whether vegan, gluten free, or something in between,
the focus is on creating a menu that exceeds expectations for both guests
of the inn and regional foodies alike.
With
every meal served in the elegant dining room, a three-glass or four-glass
wine pairing is available, which may include the Hillbrook Signature Wine
that best complements that evening’s menu. Free tastings are offered to
all guests during cocktail hours, and guests who purchase two or more bottles
to take home receive 25% off the $28 price per bottle.
Hillbrook
Inn & Spa was recently recognized as a TripAdvisor 2015 Certificate
of Excellence Winner and a top luxury B&B by BedandBreakfast.com.
