(BEVERAGE DYNAMICS, 2016) - SOUTHWEST WINES IS A FAMILY-OWNED WINERY located in New Mexico. The company was founded by Hervé Lescombes, who ran a winery in Burgundy with his father before planting in the U.S. in 1981. Southwest’s brands include St. Clair Winery, Soleil Mimosa, D. H. Lescombes, and Blue Teal Vineyards. I recently spoke to Florent Lescombes, Hervé’s son and a sixth-generation winemaker who manages the winery’s operations.

BD: Tell me a little bit of the history behind Southwest Wines.

I love to enjoy an cold adult beverage in the evenings when the weather is warm. Are you a big fan of Mimosas?  I love Mimosas.  Soleil Mimosa offers already mixed Mimosas that are ready to drink.  These are great to keep cold in the fridge to enjoy when you want a refreshing drink.  These are also great for entertaining guests.  This really makes entertaining easy, and serving beverages simple. 

(THE NUTRITIONIST REVIEWS, 2016) - I love a good adult beverage every now and again and enjoyed trying these Soleil Mimosas. They bottles are awesome bright colors which I just loved. We got these at the perfect time, right before guests were coming over to celebrate my husband's birthday. I threw a couple of bottles in the fridge to get them cold and served them that evening.

Fun times with friends or just a girls night to hang out is a great way to start the weekend.  I love having beverages on hand for friends that want soda or a wine.  I found Mimosa and had never tried it.  It was a fantastic discovery.  A great party hit as well.  With flavors like Pineapple, Mango, Pomegranate and Classic there is plenty for everyone’s taste buds and we were able to try them all. My favorite is the mango but all were a hit.

Dear Wine Lover,

I absolutely flipped when I tasted these Mimosa's...and quickly put together this deal (frankly, I wanted some for my own Valentines).
