Pomegranate as Fruit of a Vintner’s Labor
Pomegranate wine from Armenia has plenty of peppery tartness and a
sweet fruitiness that enriches the naturally winy taste of
pomegranate. It would pair well with a Thanksgiving turkey, venison or
chocolate desserts, or make an alluring punch base. Some bartenders
mix it with sparkling wine, gin or tequila. Labeled simply
Pomegranate, it’s about $10 a bottle in the Wine Store at Whole Foods;
Grand Wine & Liquor, 3005 31st Avenue, Astoria, Queens; and Heights
Chateau, 123 Atlantic Avenue (Henry Street), Brooklyn Heights.
