 Dave's Fave Special Monday Tasting Click on the photo to order it now Provenza Garda Classico Chiaretto 2006 $12 If you come to our wine tastings, you may no longer shudder with horror when faced with a sample of pink wine... One of our little projects is exposing people to really GOOD rose, the old-fashioned kind, not that bubble-gum box-wine stuff. Rose is cheap, fun, and perfect for warmer weather - this is a new one for us, from beautiful Lake Garda in Northern Italy, at the foot of the Alps. Made from Groppello, Marzemino, Sangiovese and Barbera grapes, the winemaker lets the juice sit on the crushed skins just overnight, leaving a beautiful light-watermelon color. Chilled, it is known for pronounced strawberry notes and a long finish - I wouldn't know because I haven't even tasted it yet, but I'm really curious about this authentic specialty... We'll call it "Dave's Hunch" this week, please join me! |
Wine Tasting Please Join Us Friday June 13 - 6-9 p.m. - No Charge  1 - Fournier Sauvignon Blanc 2006 $11  The Fournier family are amongst the largest vineyard owners in the appellations of Sancerre, Pouilly Fume and Menetou Salon in the Loire Valley France. This little number is made from declassified fruit from those prestigious vineyards. Light, crisp and with only 12% alcohol, the perfect accompaniment to seafood and soft cheese.2 - Domaine Houchart Cotes de Provence rose 2007 $11  Owned by the Quiot family from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, the 200 acre estate lies at the foot of Mont Sainte Victoire near Aixen-Provence. This is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Cabernet, and Mourvedre. Salmon-pink in color, with elegant flavors of red berries, the wine something like Domaine Ott on a budget. 3 - Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet/Shiraz/Merlot 2004 $12  The This wine is blended to capture all the elegant fruit character Coonawarra has to offer in a wine that drinks best when relatively young. Cabernet provides the flavour, length and structure, with shiraz imparting a spicy complexity and richness. Merlot adds softness.It is a finely structured and supple wine showing ripe plum and spicy fruit flavours combined with soft, understated oak. 4 - Montevertine 2003 $46  A great Montevertine is situated in the heart of the Chianti district about halfway between Florence and Siena and lying specifically about 3 kilometers distance from the village of Radda in Chianti. The Montevertine estate was first developed in the 11th century and was purchased by Sergio Manetti in 1967. The first vintage of Montevertine produced and bottled under the supervision of Signor Manetti was 1971. By 1981, due to Signor Manetti's devotion to the Sangiovese grape, Montevertine left the Chianti Classico consortium, forgoing the Chianti Classico denomination in order to compose wines almost entirely of Sangiovese.The Montevertine estate is now in the hands of Martino Manetti, son of Sergio, who remains dedicated to the style and philosophy of his father. There are approximately 10 hectares of vineyards at Montevertine planted almost exclusively to the Sangiovese grape. Small amounts of Colorino and Canaiolo are planted to supplement the Sangiovese. Some Malvasia is planted as well. Wine production at Montevertine is essentially devoted to three wines. The Pian del Ciampolo, composed of Sangiovese with a tiny amount of Canaiolo blended in, is the basic red wine of the estate. It sees 18 months of aging in large barrels and is the most precocious of the wines. The Montevertine is the standard bearer of the estate. It is aged 24 months in large barrel and is based on at least 90% Sangiovese with some Colorino added. Please Call Us Anytime With Questions - 8 6 0 - 4 4 3 - 9 4 6 3 |
