Celebrating Moms!

Notes From the Cellar….. Happy Mother's Day weekend! We hope that everyone has something special planned to show the moms in our lives how special they are! Our featured wines this weekend are in honor of Mom, perfect for celebrating family and loved ones. We are open Sunday's 12-5 for any last minute needs! '14 Sancerre, Domaine Thomas & Fils Rosé, Loire Valley, France- Winemakers in Sancerre since 1670, the Thomas family is now on their 9th & 10th generation of family winemaking. With vineyards of all soil types- flint, Kimmeridgian limestone and gravel, their style is not lean; the 100% Pinot Noir rosé is bursting with fruit, with great texture and a dry, lingering finish. '14 Sancerre, Gérard Boulay à Chavignol, Loire Valley, France- The Boulay family’s domaine in Chavignol traces its history back to 1380 (making them the winner of “who’s family has been making wine the longest”). The vines are an average of 45 years old and are planted on Kimmeridgian soils- similar to those found in Chablis that produce gorgeous, mineral wines. Lean and precise, Boulay's wines are incredible expressions of Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre. '14 Commando G, La Bruja de Rozas Garnacha, Madrid, Spain- The Commando G project was started in 2010 by 3 young star winemakers who met while studying viticulture; naming themselves after a Japanese cartoon popular with Spanish children in the 1980s- in this case they are Commando Garnacha, with the mission of making the best Garnacha in the world. Grown at elevations over 3000ft in the remote hills of Sierra de Gredos with old vines between 50-80 years old, their wines are all about focusing on the terroir of their various vineyard sites. Elegant and complex with notes of violets, this is has quickly become one of our favorite finds! As always take 10% off any 3 wines we are tasting. On the beer front we have newer arrivals from Castle Island (Duxbury kid!), Boulevard, Citizen Cider, Brewmaster Jack, and Berkshire!

Cheers!
