Notes From the Cellar…..
Join us Fri & Sat from 3-6 to sample some great new wines that may surprise!
Picture yourself on a beautiful summer afternoon on the Mediterranean in the south of France, sitting at a sidewalk café in St. Tropez relaxing after a day on Pampelonne Beach. The beautiful blue waters frame the small sailboats; you people watch as you wait for your meals and sip delicious rosé... this is what you were drinking! '14 Mas de Pampelonne, Côtes de Provence, France $21.99
Pinot Grigio! No, not that fruity, watery stuff- this is wine with character grown in the far northeast region of Italy by the Slovenian border in Fruili, specifically Collio which has a long standing tradition of producing excellent whites. With a small amount of this Pinot Grigio seeing some oak, it exudes texture & nuance- orchard fruits, citrus, walnuts & hay. '13 Branko Pinot Grigio, Collio, Italy $23.99
Like a dense Spanish red full of rich, intense fruit? Of course you do- who doesn't have a soft spot for lavishly rich wines? :) This Garnacha is from just south of Rioja in Calatayud, grown in high elevations vineyards of 60+ year old gnarled vine and spends close to 2 years in old French oak casks. It's got it all- rich, concentrated dark fruit, inky licorice and peppery spice; with the acidity and chalky tannins to balance it all out. See you at the table! '11 Bodegas Breca Old Vine Garnacha $19.99
Cheers!
