Tasty Thursday

It's Tasty Thursday because of the cases of delicious that have been delivered this week. Let's review some of Joe Canal's newest products. And since the summer has unofficially started, we start off with rose, the essential summer wine.

Domaines Ott LES DOMANIERS 2013

LES DOMANIERS by Ott Sélection is a fresh and balanced rosé that captures the spirit of the Côte d'Azur with its exotic fruit and white peach flavors. Built upon Domaines Ott’s winemaking expertise, this wine is to be paired with Provençal cuisine such as salade niçoise, grilled lamb, sea bass and seasonal vegetables.

LES DOMANIERS is a great value and a worthy toast to spring and summer! Only $14.89 in the Bottle Club®.

Bastianich Rosato

The Bastianich Rosato is made from 100% Refosco, which is known for producing spicy reds with dark fruit flavors (also used in their Vespa Rosso and Calabrone). It expresses itself here in a refreshing way with aromatic intensity and unexpected weight on the palate for a rosato. Bastianich's dedication and focus on Friuli's indigenous varieties led them to create this unique and easily drinkable expression of Refosco.

This is an intensely colored rosato filled with aromas of rose petals, fresh strawberries, violets and orange peel. Medium weight on the palate with fresh, clean , mouthwatering acidity. Bastianish Rosato is actually closer to a light red wine than most other rose wines.

We recommend it on its own as an aperitivo or with smoky, sweet and spicy cuisines. Only $10.99 in the Bottle Club®.

Belle Glos Meiomi Chardonnay

You know any wine from the Wagner family (like Caymus) will be outstanding, and that's true of the Belle Glos Meiomi Chardonnay. Meiomi is a high style Chardonnay that is shaped, more than anything else, by the fruit sources that lay the foundation of the blend.

A pure bred enjoyment wine, built to accommodate any pairing from food to friends.

Unifying California’s most noteworthy coastal areas opens the door for a dynamic and opulent wine that is ready to enjoy whenever you are. Only $19.99 in the Bottle Club®.

Make it a prefect pair by adding the Belle Glos Meiomi Pinot Noir to your basket.

Re Midas Soave

Re Midas Soave hails from the Veneto, a region located in Northeast Italy with a deep winemaking history. This expansive region with sunny hillsides is home of the delicious Soave wine. Re Midas Soave fully expresses the Veneto region’s luscious fresh fruit flavors.

As the myth goes, everything that Re (King) Midas touched turned to gold. Re Midas wines are an example of this “golden touch.”

Re Midas vineyards are located on the hillsides in the village of Soave, where there is a long tradition of growing Garganega grapes. The vines are extensively cultivated in the terroir made up of calcerous soils (volcanic origin) at elevation of 100-350 meters.

The 100% Garganega is aged for 3 months in stainless steel followed by 1 month in bottle before release.

SENSORY PROFILE:
APPEARANCE: Yellow with hints of gold.
BOUQUET: Wild flowers and ripe lemons.
PALATE: Bright, clean, delicious palate bursting with layers of fresh fruit and citrus overtones; crisp minerality, hints of toasted nuts and a nice lingering finish.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
Enjoy Re Midas Soave chilled, on its own as an aperitif, or with many dishes including: seafood and shellfish, grilled vegetables, grilled chicken and pork.

We got quite a deal on this, so we pass the savings on to you. Only $3.98 in the Bottle Club®.
