Whether you're getting started on your Thanksgiving wine shopping or looking for some great bottles to help you deal with our topsy-turvy weather this week, we've got a tasting line-up that's sure to satisfy. Join us Friday from 3-7pm and Saturday from noon-4pm to sample:
Charles Clement Champagne Brut Tradition NV - With 30% reserve wines (base wines from previous vintages) and plenty of time on the lees, this is once again loaded with crowd-pleasing class. And the $26.98 best price is pretty wallet pleasing, too!
Charles Clement Champagne Cuvee Speciale Brut NV - Luxury Champagne in every way but price (from $36.98), this 70/30% blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sure drinks like a $70 bottle of bubbles!
Dom Paul Mauguin Bourgogne Blanc 2017 - From an outstanding white Burgundy vintage, this barrel aged (all 3-4 year old casks) is loaded with peach and yellow apple fruit and a nice sense of richness and depth. Great value from $16.98.
Dom Paul Mauguin Bourgogne Rouge 2017 - Deeply ripe, bursting with dark fruit, and luxuriously textured and scented by a stay in 20% new French oak, this delivers pretty stunning value from $16.98.
Ken Wright Pinot Noir Savoya Vyd 2018 - Ken makes his home in Savoya, and this is pretty much the essence of Yamhill-Carlton Pinot. The sandy, well-drained, Willakenzie sedimentary soils deliver muscular wines with aromas of dense black fruit, seared meat, cedar and anise.
Ken Wright Pinot Noir Shea Vyd 2018 - If America has a "Grand Cru" for Pinot Noir, Shea Vineyard is it. Ken pretty much made the reputation of this vineyard, and it's always one of his most powerful, concentrated, wines.
As always, we'll have some snacks from the cheese case out to sample with the wines and best pricing available on a mix/match basis during the tasting. Join us!
