Friday Grab Bag

Wait, how did it get to be Labor Day weekend already? College football already started, most schools have as well, and the autumn beers are in stock. Since we can't re-start the summer, we might as well have that distraction known as the Friday Grab Bag.

New Products

Domaine Alphonse Mellot La Demoiselle Sancerre Red 2012:  From an estate that is over 500 years old. The work of the winegrower can also be compared to that of an artisan and the wine he produces, can only provoke the same sensations if it is the fruit of his own personal skills.

A wine reflects exactly the knowledge, skills, imagination, the integrity and in a certain manner the courage of the winegrower who has, throughout the course of the year nurtured this transformation from vegetal to mineral.

Tasting notes: Firm ruby color; the nose expresses the soil. Here, the flinty clay is shown in hints of smoked food and cherries in kirsch, all blended in extremely silky tannins. 100% Pinot Noir.

Pairing: Poached eggs with boletus wine sauce, spicy wild duck, pears in cinnamon.

$51.99 in the Bottle Club®.
