Blue Moon Grab Bag

If you're not paying attention to celestial doings, we'll have a "Blue Moon" tonight. It's not likely to actually look blue (we heard that it could appear red), but it gets its name for being the second full moon within a calendar month. If we heard the news correctly, the next one will be in January, 2018. That will conclude today's science lesson, so we'll get back to the actual reason that you visited our blog.

New Products

2012 District 7 Chardonnay. Our cool climate estate vineyards, located just outside of the town of Greenfield, are blessed with a climate that is perfect for growing top quality Chardonnay. With morning fogs that often linger until mid-day, the intricate fruit flavors have time to develop while preserving crucial acidity. These just-right conditions place Monterey on par with the best growing regions of the world.

Each vintage, we strive to craft a Chardonnay that strikes a perfect balance between rich and refreshing. Through the judicious use of oak, we seek to complement, not detract from, the gorgeous tropical fruit flavors that are the hallmark of District 7. Our 2012 vintage has aromas of tropical fruit and butterscotch that lead into a lively blend of pear, pineapple and citrus flavors. It is a versatile wine with food, pairing particularly well with grilled seafood, roast chicken, or your favorite salad.

Available in the Bottle Club® for only $10.96.

2014 Coat & Badge Merlot. These notes are courtesy of Brandon Bartfalvi, Senior Wine Manager at our Lawrenceville store: "A medium-full bodied Merlot, offering flavors of ripe, dark cherries, plum, earth and a touch of cocoa with fresh acidity. Well balanced and approachable.  A great new find from Washington state!!"

Available in the Bottle Club® for only $13.96.
