Can you believe we are going into August this weekend? The summer is flying by! We’ve got another lineup of great wines to enjoy on a hot summer day. Plus this week we are mixing things up by throwing in a favorite from the kitchen.

The Cheesesteak! Newer to our menu still, but so so good. Seriously, if you haven’t tried one yet, what are you waiting for? The provolone cheesy goodness mixed with the flavorful house-roasted beef, grilled onions & peppers, and cherry peppers. It doesn’t get much better.

We hope to see you soon for some wine on the patio or to pick up some takeout. Enjoy the sun friends!

Weekly Wine Recommendations

Staff Picks

NV Louis de Grenelle Brut Rose, $19
Grapes: 100% Cabernet Franc

Tasting Notes: Ripe strawberry and violet aromas, with sour candy and raspberries on the palate. Great aperitif!

2018 Raimbault Sancerre Blanc, $28
Grapes: 100% Sauvignon Blanc 

Tasting Notes: Generously textured, yet bright and lightly poised. This elegant Loire Valley white bursts with zippy green fruit and fresh acidity. You will want to drink this on the river every summer day.

2018 Algueira Ribeira Sacra, $23
Grapes: 100% Mencia  

Tasting Notes: Great warm weather red! Unoaked and fruit driven, with a fine grained and soft earthy texture. Easy to drink, and pairs nicely with simple foods.  

Geek of the Week 

2015 La Stoppa ‘Ageno’, $41
Grapes: Blend of Malvasia and Trebbiano

Tasting Notes: Sustainably farmed and remarkably made. This wine is macerated for 30 days on the skins before being fermented half in stainless steel, and half in French Oak. It is then aged in bottle for 2 years before being released. The resulting wine is outstanding, tart tannic structure, yet not austere, with forward notes of old world fermenty funk. Bold apricot cider and Kombucha on the palate. So cool!
