(Mostly) Serious Summer Wines

Cost: Free

Saturday’s tasting delivers some seriously good summer wines from France, Italy, California and Spain. Plus one last shot at the silly good deal on Substance RB Red Blend Columbia Valley 2022. Join us from noon-4pm on Saturday as we pour:

Dom du Salvard Cheverny Rosé 2025 –"Spring in a bottle" here in this 65% Pinot Noir, 35 Gamay, rose where 75% of the grapes ferment on the skins and 25% as pressed juice. Tangy and fresh flavors of red berries, peach and tangerine with a light touch of herb and nice sense of chew building through the dry, mouthwatering, finish.

Marangona Lugana DOC 2024 – Most wine from the southern shores of Lake Garda is easy, open, casual sipping fun for tourists sipping lakeside. Alessandro Cutolo’s flagship white ain’t that. Crisp, salty, mineral, age-worthy and really, really, good.

The Dude Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2024 – Another great vintage of this huge value Russian River Pinot from winemaker/grape broker Neil Koch! Spiced red fruit, round and rich texture, and a touch of earth on the supple finish. Planked salmon is calling!

Substance RB Red Blend Columbia Valley 2022 – We were delighted to sell this last year at $21.99 because it’s a robust, complex and generous expression of Washington State Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec. Now a wild deal from $8.33 – just $99.98 for whole case!

Valtravieso Ribera Del Duero Crianza 2022 – A pretty fantastic meat off the grill Tempranillo with an extra touch of Cab/Merlot freshness and style. Dark fruit, a bit of savory complexity and a velvet mid-palate over a dusty finish make this approachable and delicious.

All the wines will be on sale at 10% or more off, and you can mix/match your way to best six-bottle or more discounts across the set. Come by CBC Saturday and enjoy a tasty wine break from your summer weekend!
