Come range across Europe with us on Saturday from noon-4pm. You’ll get your mouth juices going with a pair of bright whites, surprise you with delicious value Pinot from an unexpected source in France, and then wrap up with to deeply satisfying Spanish reds.
Picollo Ernesto Gavi DOCG 2024 – You’d be forgiven for just assuming this is good – after all, it’s been a winner for years now. But the 2024 is shining especially brightly now and well worth getting to know all over again!
La Staffa Verdicchio Cestelli Di Jesi Superiore 2023 – One taste and we bet you’ll agree with the folks at JamesSuckling.com: “Lemony and buttery, showing graceful style, pear-drop candy and floral complexity…has tight-knit structure, silky texture and lanolin flavors as well as long, refreshing acidity.”
Antech Pinot Noir Pays d’Oc 2024 – If you’re wondering, yes “Pays d’Oc” is the region that covers most of the Languedoc and, yes, most of that is a terrible place to grow Pinot. But the chalky soils and bit of altitude in Limoux change the game, giving this light, fresh, juicy value gem.
Can Sumoi Garnatxa Sumoll Penedes 2022 – “What,” you might ask, “is Sumoll?” Once common, now nearly extinct, it’s a Catalan grape that's highly drought-resistant - the name means "to wither" which is what other grapes do while Sumoll survives. Here it gives structure and texture to nicely ripe Garnacha, all at a fresh 12.5%. Perfect for “damp January”!
Ch Les Vieux Moulins Blaye Cotes de Bordeaux Pirouette 2021 – If wines that go beyond fruit to more savory, sophisticated, flavors are your thing – and why wouldn’t they be! – you’ll love how this classy Bordeaux delivers and the ultra-low price even more.
It’s just possible that you’ll find yourself imagining a lovely three-course meal – from fish and white wine to start to a salad or vegetable course with Pinot and, finally, something hearty and savory with a Spanish red. It’s pretty much certain you’ll have a good time. Join us! |
