The Hob Nob Chardonnay is a nice blend of almond, hazelnut and honey and has a crisp Granny Smith apple flavor that pairs perfectly with blackened salmon and calamari.

The Wicked Red Blend by Hob Nob is a satisfying combination of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Grenache.  Delicious grapes that make up this ravishing red blend come from the beautiful region of Langeudoc, which is south of France. Oak aged for 8 weeks, this wine has tasty developed tannins and structure.

And how about a refreshing and festive recipe for Autumn Sangria that incorporates the Hob Nob Wicked Chardonnay!  I’m in! sangria-autumnCan’t wait to make this!  You can make it too, because here is the recipe my friends….
