Late Edition – Final
Pomegranate as Fruit Of a Vintner’s Labor
By Florence Fabricant
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.
