Wines for Dad!

Notes From the Cellar….. Happy Father’s Day! While dad generally is happy with getting the big piece of chicken at the dinner table why not go the extra mile and get him something to wash it down with? :) This weekend we will be pouring a lovely rosé from Provence vineyards off the Mediterranean Sea (because yes, real men drink pink!), a rich, textured Chardonnay from southern Burgundy and a full bodied, concentrated Napa Cabernet Sauvignon! As always we have a great selection of craft spirits that are a great treat for dad as well as the best selection of beers around along with charcuterie and cheeses to keep him fed and happy! Also just in are Cellar d’Or beer and wine coolers perfect for an afternoon on the golf course or boat! This weekend’s wines (10% off all tasting wines) Mas de Pampelonne Rosé, Côtes de Provence, FR- From vineyards just outside the famous Pampelonne Beach near the idyllic Saint Tropez, a delicate blend of Grenache, Cinsault & Tibouren, a classically pale colored rosé showing berry and melon fruits and floral notes on the nose. $19.99 Verget “Grand Elevage” Mâcon-Villages Chardonnay, Burgundy, FR- The 2015 vintage for Burgundy is one of the best in recent years. While the reds benefited most from the hot growing season, the whites fared very well as well offering a more full bodied and textured Chardonnay. While unoaked, as is the custom for the Mâcon, this year’s Chardonnay drinks very rich and round while still maintaining fresh acidity. $21.99 Cultivar Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, CA- A second label to Casper Winery this latest vintage of their Cabernet is exceptional. A much more full-bodied release with concentrated, dark fruit, balanced acidity and well integrated tannins on a long finish; it is a classic example of what Napa is renowned for producing without the price tag that often accompany ones of lesser quality. $32.99 New Hours: Tues-Sat. 10:30- 8:00 Sunday 12:00-5:00
