Something for Mom!

Notes From the Cellar….. This weekend we celebrate all the mothers in our lives and remember everything they do for us- we will be sampling 3 exceptional wines that we are sure will bring a smile to her face and can be enjoyed anytime. We are pouring Friday from 3-6 and Saturday so stop by to sample these and find some great Mother's Day gift ideas. This weekend’s wines & the latest in new beer arrivals: '15 Sancerre Rosé, Henri Bourgeois Les Jeunes Vignes, Loire Valley, France- The Bourgeois family is in their 10th generation of family winemaking in the Loire Valley making exceptional wines from Sauvignon Blanc & Pinot Noir. Using only Organic fertilizers their young vine Sancerre Rosé spends 3-4 months on its fine lees for a longer fermentation and intense aromas. Soft & fruity, this refreshing rosé has a delightful bouquet of ripe red fruits & a well balanced structure. $22.99 '15 Champ Divin Chardonnay, Jura, France- This is a Chardonnay that absolutely blew us away when we tasted it. Situated at the foot of the Jura Mountain’s first plateau, Champ Divin is an organically and biodynamically farmed vineyard on soils of shale, silty-clay and limestone. This is not in the oxidized style typical of Jura, rather a rich & round Chardonnay that is opulent and textured on the palate with low oak presence, bright fruits and a smooth, balanced finish. $27.99 '15 Valpolicella Classico, Ca' La Bionda, Veneto, Italy- The Castellani family are wine-growers through and through, and their sensitivity to terroir is unrivalled. They allow the limestone soils to express themselves in lively but elegant wines. While the family takes enormous pride in their Amarones, it’s fair to say that their ‘normal’ wines are unusually serious. Far from the over-extracted style, their wines are distinguished by their purity & balance. With a nose of fresh red cherry fruits and floral notes of violets, this wine is elegant and light, and pairs with a wide variety of Italian style foods from pasta to roast meats. $16.99 This week new arrivals from Exhibit A- Goody 2 Shoes Kolsh Ale, Mindset Project Pale Ale & more Cat's Meow IPA. New beers from Banded Horn, Wormtown, Aeronaut, The Tap & Relic.
