SATURDAY 4/15/23 1 - 4 p.m.

Three classic regions of France will be highlighted this Saturday afternoon. Stop by and try some great alternatives to Sancerre also made from the ever popular Sauvignon Blancs of the Loire. We’re also going to be pouring two reds from the Medoc region of Bordeaux. We’ll also be tasting some great champagne at a reasonable price.

Eric Maître Champagne Brut Tradition: This elegant Blanc de Noir is aromatic and effervescent with fine, small bubbles, and is fermented on the lees. It’s nuanced with minerality and hints of fruit on the palate. Great as an aperitif or served with dinner. Compared to the prices of some of the mass market champagnes, this one is a true bargain.

Lucien Riambault Menetou-Salon Les Chamblins: Menetou-Salon produces wines similar to Sancerre which it borders to the northwest, having a nearly identical terroir. This wine comes from a single plot and has a complex range of flavors such as orange, black currant, fresh apples, mint, honey, and spices. Its pale yellow color and fine floral and refreshing taste makes it a great alternative to Sancerre.

Domaine de La Pagerie Reuilly: 100 % Sauviginon Blanc, similar to other well known appellations in the region such as Quincy, Sancerre, and Pouilly-Fumé. Straw color and a predominant minerality. This wine goes great with shellfish or goat cheese.

Chateau Forcas Dupré Listrac-Médoc: Made from a blend of 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. The tasting style is one of ripe fruit, blackberry, cigar box and asphalt. A suave and balanced combination of tannin and plumby fruits. Can withstand aging for at least 10 more years.

Chateau Réal: This wine is typical of the Haut-Medoc, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. Plump and juicy, yet balanced by strong tannins, this dignified red has a long finish.

Instead, this Friday take the chance to sample the wide variety of flavors Italy has to offer. Treat yourself to some of the less well known, and more exciting, grapes from the many regions of the country. You’ll discover Italy’s fame for its centuries of viniculture is well deserved.

Claudio Morelli Terrazze: This white comes from the Marche region on the Eastern coast of Italy. It’s mostly made from the Bianchello grape - which has delicate fruity flavors and floral aromas.

Nosiola Dolomiti: A white Organic wine from Northeastern Italy. This one is a very aromatic, light bodied dry wine, with notes of citrus, apricot, and hazelnut.

Podere Vecchio “Il Tempo Ritrovato”:  For fans of so called “Natural Wine” we will be pouring this unfiltered, unfined, no sulfites added, organic white made through spontaneously occurring fermentation with little intervention. Rather than use chemical fertilizers, “green manure” is employed in the cultivation of the grapes. This wine is suitable not merely for vegetarians, but it also meets the more rigorous demands of vegans.

Redondel “Beato Me”: This red wine from northern Italy is made 100% from Teroldego grapes which give it notes of spicy fruits, hints of tar, pine, and almonds. “Beato Me” means “Lucky Me” and you’ll be fortunate to try this versatile dry red that goes well with a wide variety of foods.

Fradiles Bagadíu: In Sardinian Bagadiu means "Bachelor." This dry red is made 100% from the bovale grape, also known as muristellu, which gives it its purplish color and intense tannic flavor that is balanced with soft and supple fruit. It’s a natural pair for red meat especially roasts and stews.
