 I was sent two bottles of Daniel Gehrs wine  to try this month, a Merlot and a Chenin Blanc.  Daniel Gehrs Wines is a small, family owned and operated winery featuring small lots of hand-crafted wines. With over 30 years of experience, Daniel’s wines are made in a classic old-world style that is exceptionally approachable to both novice and oenophile alike.

As you can see, the Merlot is a silver medal winner and lives up to that award. I am not a fan of red wines, but wanted to give this one a try since it sounded so amazing. The perfect chance to try it was with a steak dinner my husband prepared and it was lovely. It smelled a bit of cherries when we first opened it and the taste did not disappoint. It was full bodied and very distinct. Definitely one for the red wine connoisseur in your life.

The Chenin Blanc, another silver medal winner, was no disappointment either. The fruity scent grabbed my attention as soon as I popped the cork. Think pears but with a flowery overtone.  I enjoyed this over the Thanksgiving holiday with my meal and so did my guests, who all complimented it.
