Denver Art Museum's 2018 Uncorked Reserve Wine Pairings Thu, Dec 01, 22 | wine Molly’s was once again a proud sponsor of Uncorked Reserve and Uncorked AFTERGLO, the Denver Art Museum’s two-tiered spring fundraising event celebrating two of our favorite things – wine and creativity! The evening raised funds to support the Denver Art Museum’s groundbreaking exhibitions and creative programming. Uncorked Reserve includes a silent auction cocktail reception followed by a fabulous four-course seated dinner featuring exquisite wine pairings with each course. Following the dinner, Reserve guests headed to Uncorked AFTERGLO, a party featuring art activations by local creatives, live music and artistic treats and cocktails. The wines served at this year’s event were all chosen in collaboration with our wonderful supplier partners: Hope Estate, Da Luca, Enotec Imports, The Prisoner Wine Company, B Side Soulful North Coast Wine, and Vini Pavan. Next time you’re in the store look for the shelf tags indicating the wine was a part of Uncorked Reserve! **Join us at the Molly’s tasting bar on Friday, April 20th 4-6PM for a special wine tasting featuring four wines served at Uncorked: Da Luca Prosecco, Marchesini Chiaretto Rosé, B Side Cabernet, and Pavan Dolce Moscato (pictured below).** Cocktail Reception HOPE FAMILY ESTATE WINES CHARDONNAYHunter Valley, Australia “A complex, balanced, and fresh style of wine that drinks well now and that will age superbly well. Showing lots of bright fruit, the complexity in the wine from a combination of wild yeast fermentation, partial malolactic fermentation and barrel maturation, leave this wine in a great position to impress.” HOPE FAMILY ESTATE WINES SEMILLONHunter Valley, Australia “This special batch of Hunter Semillon has been carefully aged to develop the sought after honey, toasty and lanolin characters of the traditional Hunter style. The wine has ample palate weight and will appeal to the red wine drinker.” HOPE FAMILY ESTATE WINES SHIRAZHunter Valley, Australia Was $15.98 | NOW $10.98 “Earthy, peppery and with a generous berry fruit, this Shiraz is medium bodied and is a good example of hunter valley Shiraz.

The ‘lake effect’ generates ample ripeness in the Corvina and Rondinella grapes. This gives the wine great aromatics and good density on the palate. This dry rosé wine is fruity, fragrant and delicate with aromas of peach-blossoms.” Paired with: Pickled Cauliflower & Gem Lettuce SaladLocation: Lane 2, Aisle B Entree B SIDE CABERNET SAUVIGNONNapa Valley, California Was $28.98 | NOW $22.98 “On the nose, beautiful notes of cassis, licorice and blackberry are framed by dark, toasty oak from fourteen months of aging.
