Le Tour de France and LaBor Day Sale
This weekend we are shifting focus from Italy to France, where we'll spend the next couple of months diving in to the many regions and styles that make the country World Famous wine producers.
This weekend from Friday to Sunday we'll highlight wines from southern Rhone to eastern Loire, and many places in between. Come in to taste Cotes du Rhone, Burgundy Pinot Noir, Loire Vouvray, Grand Cru Champagne, Alsatian Riesling and Bordeaux Rouge!
I suppose it wouldn't be Labor Day without a sale, so we're adding a 10% savings to all existing discounts and perks customers enjoy already. Wine club members, that means 25% off!
Tasting fee: $15
Refundable with a purchase of any 3 bottles
Champagne Sanger Grand Cru 'Terroir Natal'
A stunning and bone dry sparkling wine produced by the enological university in Avize. I've been missing this wine since we haven't opened a bottle in quite some time. Plus, Grand Cru Champagne is arguably the best value in the wine world!
Emile Beyer Alsace Riesling 'Les Traditions'
14 generations of Beyer have made their mark on the region, and their Traditions is an excellent entry in to the dry, delicious wines of Alsace.
Nicolas Brunet Vouvray Sec 'Coeur de Silex'
Oh yum... dry Chenin Blanc from Vouvray is intoxicating. Mouth-filling and rich, but with an acidic bite on the finish, these are complex white wines with big personalities and low prices. Brunet's special Coeur de Silex is a showcase of the famous Silex soils that unleash acidity and a mineral tang in the wines.
Capitain-Gagnerot 'Bourgogne'
This 210 year old winery owns vineyards from villages to Grand Cru level, so the sourcing for their everyday Bourgogne Pinot Noir is quite special. Characteristics of your traditional burgundy - lifted aromatics, barnyard, medicinal. Classic Burgundy lovers really like this wine.
Domaine Combe Queyzaire 'Cotes du Rhone'
I laugh because we sold this wine so fast during our Memorial Day "Sale" and I didn't think I could get it again at the same price. Recently I was able to buy the last few cases from the distributor so yes, it's back! Future vintages the price will go up sadly. This is a fantastic, extremely high quality wine that is made in a lesser known region and therefore only qualifies as CdR. A total steal under $20.
Grand Enclos du Chateau de Cerons 'Graves Rouge'
"Grawv" lies in the southern part of Bordeaux, closer to Sauternes than Medoc, where amazing reds and whites are being made with the same attention to detail as their northern neighbors, but without the pretense and astronomical pricing of the 'growths'. Good Bordeaux is not usually seen as 'approachable' and that's why I'm excited to share this wine with you!
