WINES OF THE WEEK
WINES FOR THE FEAST!
Nicole Chanrion Côte de Brouilly 2014
By sticking to a time-tested formula— hand-harvested old-vine fruit, whole-cluster fermentation with native yeasts, old foudres, and zero filtration—Nicole creates some of the most honest and affordable cru Beaujolais on the market. It can be carelessly quaffed today but will hold up for ten years easily.
$22.99
Bonny Doon ‘Vin Gris de Cigare’ Rosé 2019
This is a rosé of Rhone Valley varietals grown in a cool climate site in Monterey, the wine does not overwhelm one with fruity-bombastic notes; its charms are seductively subtle. A touch of battonage adds to the creamy texture. An extremely elegant and complex wine.
$14.99
Catena Zapata ‘Angélica’ Chardonnay 2016
Vibrant citrus fruit and attractive minerality. This is an unctuous, fresh wine, packed with ripe fruit and subtle vanilla. The finish is long and lingering, with crisp, well-balanced acidity. Spending 14 months in 40% new French Oak, Angélica Zapata Chardonnay is a faithful expression of Mendoza's highest altitude microclimate.
