Every year, at harvest time prestigious wine stores across France are featuring the traditional wine fairs. Whether you are an oenophile, or beginner in the field, the wine fair is going to be meet your friends or make new one . Wide selection of wines suited for everyone’s preference and budget.

1.Chateau Suau Bordeaux Blanc, 2018 $16.99

Complex aromas of honeysuckle, citrus and pineapple. It's refreshing and expressive. An excellent depth of fruit as well as a long finish with a nice acidity.

2. Clos Vigneau Vouvray 2017         $21.99

91 p Wine Enthusast

Delicious apple flavors dominate this wine. While it is essentially dry, a ripe character softens the acidity and gives it a spice and baked-apple character.

3. Castelmaure Col des Vents Corbieres 2015      $11.99

89 p Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

“What could be a hidden gem in the vintage, the 2015 Corbières Col des Vents is 50% Carignan, 30% Grenache and 20% Syrah that’s aging all in tank. A big, sexy, fruit-loaded effort, it offers a liquid blackberry like style of fruit as well as crushed herbs, pepper and a hint of earth. It should drink nicely right out of the gate.”

4. Chateau des Landes St Emilion  2015      $19.99

91 p Wine Enthusiast:

“Ripe and structured, this wood-aged wine is still developing. It has a dark structure, dense blackberry fruit and powerful concentration.” 

5. Alain Jaume Vacqueyras Grand Garrigue 2015      $25.99

92 p Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The plump, sexy and fruit-loaded 2015 Vacqueyras Grande Garrigue offers a smorgasbord of Provencal aromas and flavors, with notes of blackberry jam, peppered meats, toasted bread and Asian spice all jumping from the glass. Similar in style to the Cairanne, yet with additional tannic grip, this full-bodied, supple and polished beauty is another no-brainer value from this estate to snatch up.

 

Wines will be accompanied by a selection of cheeses, crackers, canapes, artisan breads &olive oil. The cost for one flight (a sample of each of the wines) will be $20
