Drink French Wine!

Notes From the Cellar….. It's a hot, soupy mess this weekend so we're pouring some hot weather wines from our friends across the Atlantic! All refreshing sippers are best enjoyed cold; the Cabernet Franc especially benefits from a slight chill that softens it up and makes it a great backyard sipper with grilled meats! Join us Friday from 3-6 and Saturday to sample a Provence rosé, Sauvignon Blanc from one of the Loire Valley's premier domaines and this soft, fruity Cab Franc from Anjou- enjoy the wines and yes the AC will be cranking! Don’t forget about our wide range of gourmet cheeses, charcuterie and other goodies for an afternoon on the beach or snacks for a gathering! '15 Mas de Gourgonnier, Les Baux de Provence Rosé, Provence, France- Organically grown for over thirty years, all wines are made with a minimal use of sulfites. A blend of mostly Grenache with some Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault & Mourvedre. The grenache gives the wine beautiful strawberry notes while the Mourvedre lends spicy notes and adds complexity. $18.99 '14 Laporte "Le Petit Duc" Sauvignon Blanc, France- Domaine Laporte has been family run for generations and established as one of the top Sancerre producers in the region. Purchased in the 1980's by Domaine Henri Bourgeois, it is the blending of 2 of the more renowned families of the Loire. Produced by these skilled families, this Sauvignon Blanc shows classic tropical fruits, citrus and mouthwatering acidity. $12.99 '13 Anjou Rouge, Domaine du Petit Clocher, Loire Valley, France- 4th generation family winemakers in Anjou on the western half of the Loire, this 100% Cabernet Franc is all estate fruit & vinified exclusively in stainless steel tanks. Lightweight & juicy, it is dark ruby in colour with an expressive nose of ripe red and black fruits- cherry, blackcurrant & cranberry. With fresh acidity and light tannin and good length on the palate, it is delightful with a light chill on it, making it an easy pairing for salads, poultry and grilled meat. $14.99 As always take 10% off any 3 wines we are tasting. On the beer front we have newer arrivals from Jack's Abby, Dark Horse, Harpoon, Stone, Lord Hobo, Brewmaster Jack, Down the Road, & Boulevard.

Cheers!
