Riesling adds sass to Super Bowl party

 The word of your Super Bowl party is spreading faster than the Green Bay Packers offense and your funds in the tank.

Relax. Here are some sassy, fun ideas that are sure to score with the crowd.

Octavin Home Wine Bar recently celebrated the release of its “Rabbit Riesling” (aka The Bunny Wine) in a 3 L, eight-sided container (aka box).  The suggested price is $24 which equates to four 750 ml bottles or 20 glasses. Therefore, each glass is about $1.20.

To insure you get fresh wine all the time, Octavin is the only wine company that stamps

every Bag-In-Box wine with a date to insure you know when to enjoy the wines.

Their Riesling is produced from grapes grown in Germany’s Landwein Rhein region. The grapes are harvested at night, pressed and clarified before fermentation in steel tanks.

This sweet varietal has a nose of peaches and pears with a floral cloud that glides along the palate and finishes with a clean crispness. The innovative closure will keep the wine fresh for up to six weeks; but partiers won’t let it last that long. (Better buy another box.)

Open the spigot on the box then decorate it in Steelers and Packers team colors. Paste two miniature goal posts on top of the canister and you’re there.

(Octavin Home Wine Bar also produces reds and drier white wines)

Pair the Riesling on the table with hard cheeses, smoked nuts or little spicy sausages.
