Featured Wines:
Domaine Jean Reverdy “La Reine Blanc” Sancerre 2020
Loire Valley, France; $27.99
This Domaine dates back to 1650 and has been in the family for about generations. They manage about 30acres of vineyards, most of which is planted to Sauvignon Blanc. This bottling is produced from sustainably farmed 25-year-old Sauvignon Blanc from arguably the best region for it in the world. Limestone, calcium rich soil that adds some incredible minerality. Fresh, crisp, with ripe citrus and grapefruit. – Sample $2.50
Jules Taylor Pinot Noir 2019
Marlborough, New Zealand; $19.99
A partnership of husband-and-wife team Jules Taylor and George Elworthy. Jules is the chief-winemaker while George manages sales and distribution. New Zealand is a great region for Pinot Noir. All the fruit here comes from the Southern Valley of Marlborough. The cool air off of the Pacific produces balanced acidity, while that coastal sunshine still ripens the grapes for great fruit depth.
“Plum, black cherry, black tea, sage, licorice, palo santo; firm, smoky.” 92pts Wine Spectator – Sample $2.00
Maison du Midi Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2020
Rhone Valley, France; $29.99
Maison du Midi was a label started by Kysela Pere et Fils, a world renowned importer. They started this label to produce their own value driven wines from hand selected grape lots throughout the Rhone.
"This youthful red, a blend of 84% Grenache, 11% Syrah, and 5% Mourvedre, is plump, round, and ripe. Its noteworthy elegance employs indulgently fresh, delicious blue and red berries, spicy and fragrant. White pepper and cranberry perform a mid-palate performance, igniting a silky texture, while washing the tongue with chalky tannins. Red cherry adds a sweetness to the toasty finish." 93pts Tasting Panel – Sample $3.00
Clos de Napa Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2016
Napa Valley, California; $24.99; Was $39.99 Save $15!
Just a killer Cab, at a killer price to finish up on. Blended with a splash of Merlot to soften out the tannins a bit, and then aged two years in French oak. Silky, with dense black cherry, blackberry, and blueberry flavors. Rich and complex with a little earthiness and hints of licorice in the finish. – Sample $2.50
