September 7th 2024 Wine Tasting

  • 2023 Camille & Laurent Schaller Chablis

    (sale price $26.99)

    buy now add to wishlist

    750ml - Bottle - New Stock

    Domaine Camille & Laurent Schaller is a family estate located in Préhy in the heart of Chablis. The Chablis from this father/son duo comes from 30 year old Chardonnay vines from their vineyard sites around the village of Préhy. On the nose, this wine enjoys intense aromas of white flower, lemon and stone fruit. On the palate, an exceedingly well-balanced wine with exceptional minerality comes forward and the exceptional finesse and purity make for a lingering and solid finish. While this wine has many meals that it can accompany, its best qualities come forward with a fresh piece of fish in a simple beurre blanc with a squeeze of lemon.

  • 2021 Château Montfrin Côtes du Rhône

    (sale price $19.99)

    buy now add to wishlist

    750ml - Bottle - New Stock

    The Montfrin Côtes du Rhône is produced from fruit grown at the outermost edge of the appellation. Like all of the wines from Château de Montfrin, the grapes come exclusively from their own 120 hectares of organic vines around the town of Montfrin, vinified on-site using native yeasts. Their Côtes du Rhône has an unusually high proportion of Grenache blended with Syrah and a touch of Carignan, which gives a little twist to a classic wine.

    750ml - Bottle - New Stock

    Made from 100% Melon de Bourgogne, this wine from Domaine de la Pépière is the benchmark style of the estate: racy, crisp, acid- and mineral-driven, with a bare hint of richness from the sur lie factor, very much indicative of Pépière's granite-based terroir and clean, natural winemaking style.

    750ml - Bottle - In Stock

    This South African white wine is a unique blend of Chenin Blanc, Viognier and Roussane. These vines thrive in shale soil which produce wines with a distinct freshness and minerality. The Chenin Blanc produces appetite-whetting aromas of pineapple and guava which greet you on the nose and once in the mouth, the Viognier and Roussanne gives the wine an aromatic lift and a touch of richness on the palate. Not much to think about here, just open, relax, and enjoy.
