Langdon Shiverick Imports

Our goal is to seek out and source mindfully-made, high-quality wines that demonstrate a keen sense of place. The properties we work with pay great attention to the highest elements of winemaking, incorporating natural techniques that have been passed down through generations, while always seeking out any modern improvements that can be incorporated to continually improve their wines.

"The ripe red-fruit aromas and flavors of this red wine from the Languedoc region in southern France complement the sweetness of the squash, while its terroir-driven herbal notes of garrigue harmonize with the earth vegetable, sage, and farro flavors.”

Recipe of the Day: Ina’s Engagment Roast Chicken Ina’s special-occasion roast chicken is simple to prepare and sure to impress. Flavored with lemon and a whole head of garlic, her bird is rubbed with olive oil so it leaves the oven with extra-crispy skin.

Have a romantic at-home dinner this Valentine’s Day with roast chicken and delicious Chardonnay from Marie-Pierre Manciat, Samuel Billaud, or Whitcraft Winery.

2011 Jean-Louis Chave Selection Saint-Joseph Céleste Blanc

I’ll take your Saint-Joseph and raise you a Saint Mary. Hehehe. Waxy apples, pears, florals, cotton balls, white tea, and a hint of bay leaf on the nose. Browning apples and lemons on the palate along with white tea and white florals. Super round and coats your mouth without being viscous. Incredible with food. If you aren’t jammin’ on Marsanne and Roussanne, you’re missing out! Lovely stuff.

Wine sales have been steadily growing faster than beer sales, especially around Super Bowl time.

Wine Wednesday: A balsamic vinaigrette doubles as a marinade here, giving flank steak enormous flavor while its marinated overnight. The dressing comes together quickly in a blender with garlic, rosemary, oregano and a touch of mustard. Pair it with a juicy, spicy Portuguese red.

Recipe: Balsamic Marinated Flank Steak

Sounds like this recipe would be delicious with Herdade do Rocim’s Tinto from Alentejo or Vadio’s Baga from Bairrada!

Steven Tanzer on 2014 Burgundies & Domaine de la Pousse d’Or

Steven Tanzer, writing for Vinous, gives an in depth breakdown of the 2014 vintage, writing: 

“Two thousand fourteen is a delicious midweight vintage with alluring fruit, juicy supporting acidity, expressive terroir character, supple tannins and considerable early appeal. Best of all, the wines display an attractive natural balance and elegance, and should offer at least medium-term ageability.”

He also reviews the wines of Domaine de la Pousse d’Or. Read the rest of the vintage analysis here.
