Dreaming of Spring Wine Tasting

Notes From the Cellar….. As we head into the Final Four of March Madness and Opening Day for the Sox be sure to stock up on the necessary provisions! We've got you covered with an array of craft beer selections as well as our unique, locally made spirits. In addition to libations that are great for game day, this weekend we will be pouring a soft & supple Pinot Noir from the Givry region of Burgundy. ’15 Domaine Parize Givry Rouge Vieilles Vignes, Burgundy, FR- The Parize family have been making wine in Burgundy for six generations. The estate started to bottle in 1975, and from one hundred bottles a year, it now bottles over 4,000 cases. Awards and critical acclaim have followed the qualitative progression of the wine. The average age of the vines is now thirty years. Organic fertilizers have been used for some years, and organic practices are embraced. Yields are limited by extreme pruning & hand harvesting. While their oak aged 1er Cru wines can age for up to 12 years, the Vieilles Vignes drink better young. Showing red raspberry and red cherry fruits and violets on the nose, it is soft and round on the palate with soft tannins and fresh acidity. $22.99 We still have a few bottles of Cakebread Chardonnay, Jordan & Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon on sale for 20% off!

Weekend Wine Pick!

Notes From the Cellar….. It’s been a frosty start to spring so we thought that we would open a great value Bordeaux to keep things warm and lively on these cool evenings. This blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cab Franc & 25% Merlot comes from an organization of 5 independent cooperatives in the Gironde region grown in soils of clay & limestone. Fermented in steel to highlight its intense, ripe red & black fruits it is balanced, full bodied and well structured with smooth tannins on its lingering finish. A great everyday Bordeaux, it pairs well with red meats, barbecue, lamb and hard cheeses.
