Welcome to the Little Rooster Wine Page. At the Little Rooster it is our goal to provide you with the right wine for you to enjoy. Whether you are preparing a routine dinner or hosting a party, our wine selection offers the choices you want--ranging from everyday wines to unique imports. Our selection includes customary whites, reds, and champagnes along with interesting local, imported and dessert wines.

 

WHITE VARIETALS White wines are usually lighter in body than reds, although there are some that are aged in oak, such as Chardonnay, giving the wine more flavor and richness. Due to the structure of whites, they tend to pair better with such food as fish, chicken, and lighter dishes. Among some of our selections are Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Chenin Blanc, Riesling, and Verdicchio.

LOCAL WINES — We enjoy carrying local wines from New England and neighboring states whenever we find one that seems exceptional. Among our current local selections are...Chamard (Clinton, Connecticut), Sharpe Hill (Pomfret, Connecticut), Palmer (Long Island, New York), Sakonnet (Little Compton, Rhode Island).


RED VARIETALS Red wines, on the other hand, pair nicely with heavier, stronger tastes like beef, lamb and red sauces. The winemaking process directly impacts the structure of reds, contributing to the fuller more robust taste on your palette. When producing red wines the winemaker uses skins and seeds as well as the juice from the grape which results in a wider spectrum of flavor. The aging process also adds to the full flavor of reds. We can recommend a specific varietal for your menu. Among our selections are...Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel and more...
