Featured Wines:
1) Domaine Michel Barraud Macon-Villages 2019
Burgundy, France; $16.99
This is a Chardonnay for people that think they don’t like Chardonnay. A more traditional French style with more minerality, higher acidity, and no oak. Produced from old vines in the Maconnais. Very fresh tasting with lots of citrus up front. Mid palate softens with more apple and pear fading into a minerally finish. - Sample $1.50
2) Domaine de la Madone Beaujolais-Villages Le Perreon 2019
Beaujolais, France; $13.99
Planted to mainly old vine Gamay, this small family estate is home to some 100+ years old vines. The Beajolais-Villages comes from a the small village of Le Perreon which has a very similar terroir to Fleurie. Keep an eye out in November for their Beaujolais-Nouveau!
“Inviting aromas of black cherries, blueberries and licorice introduce the 2019 Beaujolais-Villages Le Perréon, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy wine with a deep core of succulent fruit framed by powdery tannins and lively acids. As usual, this flavorful, beautifully made red from the Bererd brothers belongs on any short list of France's best-value bistrot wines.” 92pts Robert Parker - Sample $1.00
3) Les Garrigues Cotes-du-Rhone 2019
Rhone, France; $14.99
The wine gets its name from the French word, Garrigues, which means “underbrush of wild herbs and spices.” That spicy and floral quality shines through in this Grenache and Syrah blend. This is an exclusive production for Michael Skurnik Wines and continues to be one of the best complex Rhone wine values. Bright red fruits; wild berries and cranberry with rose pedals, black pepper, and a touch of earthiness. - Sample $1.50
4) Chateau Saint Julian Bordeaux Superieur 2019
Bordeaux, France; $14.99
Chateau Saint Julian is the second wine made by the team from the remarkable Chateau la Grangere, a Grand Cru in St. Emilion. A certified organic vineyard from the Entre-deux-Mers. Primarily Merlot with a bit of Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine underwent a spontaneous fermentation from indigenous yeast and is aged in old barriques and concrete tanks. Raspberry, blackcurrant, violet, plum, coffee and a little toasty finish. - Sample $1.50
