10 Catholic Wines

[ 17 ] April 6, 2012 AD |

I know it is Good Friday and perhaps there is a coincidence that I chose a top ten Catholic named wines for this day.  Listed below is my list.  Granted I have not tried them all, they are just a list that has a catholicized name for the bottle or vineyard.  Details for the free copy of “Style, Sex, & Substance” are below.

 

 

 

1.  Trinitas

2.  Aquinas

3.  Sancta Rita

4.  Châteauneuf-du-Pape

5.  Bonaventure Merlot

6.  St. Mary’s Wines

7.  St. Josef’s

8.  St. Michael’s Winery

9.  San Sebastian Winery

10.  Domaine de Saint-Dominique

 

The first, Trinitas, has an interesting website that explains where the name comes from and a little about the owners.

 

What is the most bizarre, random, or surprisingly Catholic themed wine you can find or have tried?  I will run this contest until next Friday.

 

p.s. paging Dan Di Luzio, please contact me for your winnings of last week’s giveaway.

    I’m not sure if it would qualify as a Catholic theme wine but back in the 70′s I grew very fond of a German white wine under the ‘Blue Nun’ lable.

    We like the Brut of Domaine Ste. Michelle. Compliments of the awesome Mr. T.

  • Nathaniel Gotcher

    Under the category of Catholic Wines that could be: From the winery of the Pontifical North American College in Rome—PNAC Noir. It’s funny, see, because they wear black there….

  • J.Q. Tomanek

    Richard, “Blue Nun” definitely counts. “Catholic” means universal, that also means according to time.

    Stacy, Laurence Tureaud recommends wine for you??? Very cool. I still miss The A-Team.

    Nathaniel, might I suggest calling it, Pinoc Noir, it sounds more French though it is obviously Italian ;)

    Consider also:

    - http://www.holyspiritswine.com

    -Two Angels from California (including their blended wine, “Divinity”),

    - Paternoster wines from Italy,

    - Liebfraumilch is a type of German wine (The name means “Blessed Mother’s Milk.”)

    - Wines from the monks of the Abbey of Lerins (Abbaye de Lerins).

    F.J. Serra winery in California. http://www.fjserra.com

    and Serra vinyard in Southern Oregon. http://www.serravinyard.com

  • Angela

    St Julian Winery in Paw Paw MI is run by a Catholic family. Their son is Fr David Meconi, SJ, of the St Louis Province. A holy priest from a holy family!

    Awesome, thanks for posting these! I look forward to trying them out. You should do a follow-up post on the best Catholic coffees (assuming there are a good number of them out there), like Mystic Monk coffee from the Carmelites in Wyoming.

  • Alton

    “Magnificat” is a great wine from Franciscan Estate in Napa Valley: http://www.franciscan.com

  • Tom

    How about the Grapes of Galilee wines? http://www.haroz.com/gog_info.html

  • Pete

    The Post Familie Winery near Altus, Arkansas is a trus Catholic wine producer. Great family and a great product.

  • RHenry

    Did you forget about Christian Brothers wines and brandy?

  • J.Q. Tomanek

    Wow, so many great Catholic themed products. With so many wonderful responses, how am I going to try all of them in one day??? Who’s place are we going to sample these?

  • J.Q. Tomanek

    Anna Williams, you are very welcome. Catholicized coffee may just make another list!

    I cannot really drink wine. I get enough of a buzz with the little I have at Mass. I also like my wine very sweet.

    I have no idea as to the Catholicity of the vintners, but I know that I definitely like the taste and decoration of Cuvee des 3 Messes Basses Ventoux, whose name refers to the three Masses of Christmas and whose bottle reflects the same.
