And just like that… "Hot" tober is a distant memory, and our thoughts turn to chilly days, cold nights, and wine! (although, let's be honest, when aren't we thinking about wine). With Thanksgiving rapidly approaching, we have carefully selected this month's case with the holiday in mind. Some fun finds, and surprises include a large-format Rose that says, "Let's celebrate!" and a good mix of new shop selections and old favorites.
With our 20% case discount, these 12 beautiful bottles come in under $200! A steal for the holidays. Please feel free to call, email, or just come by to get your hands on this special case while supplies last!
We look forward to seeing you and are truly grateful to each and every one of you for your continuous support. We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with you and yours. We will be closed on Thanksgiving day so we can enjoy the day with ours.
Sparkling
(Italy) Flora Prosecco DOC NV
Grapes: 100% Glera
Notes: Beautiful nose and very expressive on the palate bursting with green apple, honeysuckle and a sprinkle of lemon zest. Hints of cake on the finish, yet crisp, clean, and well-balanced with a beautifully prominent minerality on the finish. You will be sad when the bottle is gone!
Rosé
(France) 2021 Rose Mon Rosé
Grapes: Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache
Notes: This is a MAGNUM! This rosé is no joke. It is light, bone dry, wonderfully acidic and smells like you just crushed pomegranate seeds on a large wet stone. It has fabulous minerality, a pleasant and inviting nose and a mysterious lingering finish that will make you so happy it is a magnum. These won't last at this price. It is our current glass pour - so come try it out! We also have them available for stand-alone purchase and a 3 Litre for 45$. Happy Thanksgiving.
Whites
(California) 2021 Folk Machine White Light
Grapes: Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Verdelho
Notes: Like the name, this easy drinker is light and bright! It boasts a nice acid from a grapefruity essence. It is drinkable, versatile and crisp with a soft, somewhat floral finish. It is truly refreshing!
(France) 2021 Oliver Gessler Cotes de Gascogne
Grapes: Colombard, Ugni Blanc, Gros Manseng, Sauvignon Blanc
Notes: A bit grassy on the nose that quickly fades into a beautiful floral complexity, this gentle wine quietly unfolds to be an unassuming yet versatile delight. Be sure to chill well, and you will see fresh peaches with a bit of citrus pith and lychee showing a pleasing intensity on the palate.
(Oregon) 202 Haden Fig Chardonnay
Grapes: Chardonnay
Notes: This Willamette Valley Chardonnay from Evesham Wood is an elegant and seductive balance of light oak and buttered popcorn. With beautiful aromatics and slightly more medium-bodied, it has a touch of reductiveness that lends to some lingering salinity on the finish. However, it remains round, complex and clean. It finishes with a hauntingly beautiful wet stone loveliness that only an Oregon chard can provide.
Reds
France) 2017 Biscarelle Cote de Rhone
Grapes:Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Consult
Notes: Give this one a moment to reveal itself to you. You will be rewarded with a beautiful spicy, earthy, incredibly drinkable red with notes of black plum showcased in a beautiful dark purple hue. If you have read Jitterbug Perfume by Washington native Tom Robbins, you will know that this gem would be the drink of choice for Alobar and Kudra. Yum.
(California) 2021 Camp Cabernet Sauvignon
Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon
Notes: Here's a big one that drinks like it should cost three times as much! Blackberry and dark cherry with a hint of tobacco on the nose. It has a nice earthy minerality that makes it an easy drinker, perfect for your Thanksgiving meal.
(Oregon) 2021 L’Unami Pinot Noir
Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir
Notes: Solid entry-level Oregon Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. Light, dry, everyday drinker with a delicate cranberry essence, hints of leather, medium stone fruits and maybe even a whiff of vanilla. This is a clean and well-balanced wine that will please even the most pinot curious.
(Oregon) 2021 Bethel Heights Estate Pinot Noir
Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir
Notes: What are you looking for in an Oregon Pinot Noir for your holiday needs? We have it for you. This is a beautiful expression of true Willamette Valley pinot with classic earthy, mushroomy forest floor tones with hints of restrained oak and a tiny sprinkle of white pepper. It is dry with medium, well-balanced tannins and a long, lingering finish. Sure to impress.
(Spain) 2021 L’Heravi Negre
Grapes: Cariyena, Garnacha, and Syrah
Notes: This one is delicious! Full-bodied red with a rich purple fleshy fruit. Very well structured, with nicely integrated tannins. Bold, dry, well-balanced and fresh. Yes!
(California) 2021 Three Wine Company Old vine Zinfandel
Grapes: 100% Zinfandel
Notes: Soft, round and chocolatey, this full-bodied fruit bomb boasts light baking spices as if gently toasted on an oak plank. It's jammy and begs for that full Thanksgiving spread. But feel free to pour it as is because it can stand alone, just like the cheese.
(France) 2018 Jean-Michele Dupris 1935 Morgan Cru de Beaujolais
Grapes: 100% Gamay
Notes: This is a subtle yet expressive lovely, perfect for pairing. Soft, gentle, yet explosive red fruits genuinely deliver. Plush restraint, well-balanced acidity, and well made, with this score, maybe you will find a hint of subdued toffee. Looking for something to pair with pumpkin pie? Ya, this is it!
