HOWDY FRIENDS AND HAPPY THURSDAY!
We are delighted to welcome our friend Anthony Lamanoca back to pour some old favorites. We'll have several wines open, many of which have been with us for more than one vintage... so come out and see how they're tasting today. We've got the best Prosecco, a Chardonnay from Piedmont, a Gamay from Burgundy, a Syrah from Tuscany, and a Primitivo from Puglia! It's a beautiful day to drink some wine!
Wine from Golden Vines, Cheese from Eastern District, and bread from She-Wolf Bakery. Sounds like a party to me!
SANFELETTO DOCG PROSECCO SUPERIORE EXTRA DRY:
A true grower prosecco. This DOCG Prosecco Superiore comes from the ridge between Valdobbiadene and Conegliano. The vineyards reach up to 900 ft above sea level and the fruit is estate-grown and hand-harvested with minimal use of sulfur. Aromas of green apple, white flowers, wisteria; A very pretty Prosecco that I love to drink on its own or use to make the best Aperol Spritzs in the universe. Come taste the bub. $17
L'ARMANGIA PRATOROTONDO 2014 CHARDONNAY PIEDMONT:
Chardonnay has been cultivated in Piedmont for centuries...and the Giovene family have been growers and winemakers for over 100 years. They like to make wine traditionally and pay homage to the history of the region. A few carefully selected Chardonnay clones are combined and vinified in a combination of stainless steal and oak. The result is an incredibly balanced and nuanced Chard, with vibrant acidity and a luxe, lengthy finish. A great match for salmon, ramps, and ricotta or fish tacos! $16
LENOIR GUERIN 2015 MACON ROUGE "LES SILLONS LONGS":
Gamay is my jam. And this one from the Macon region of Burgundy offers a lovely earthy edge to balance out the juicy red fruit that Gamay is famous for. We love drinking this wine with frenchy foods like Croque Monsieurs, Pain Bagnats, and of course French Fries with Mayonaise. I'm hungry. Can you tell? This wine will improve your lunch or dinner everytime. Come taste it juicy goodness... $18
IL FITTO 2014 SYRAH CORTONA TUSCANY:
This lush and oaky Syrah has had my 'staff pick' tag strung around it's neck for some time now. I love the wine and I love the value it offers. Outside the town of Cortona in southern Tuscany lies the agriturismo. Estate-grown and hand-harvested fruit coming from just 5 hectares of vines from their small farm. 15 months in French oak gives the wine a powerful yet elegant spice... drink with meat hot off the grill. $19
TENUTE VIGLIONE 2013 PRIMITIVO PUGLIA:
Viglione is a certified organic estate! No small feat these days, believe it or not. This is 100% organic wine made from Primitivo grapes from vineyards on some of the highest altitudes in Puglia. Shell fossils are often found in the vineyard because centuries ago the ocean used to surround the hill where the vines are located... cool, right? This wine is dark purple with lush black fruit flavors like plums and blackberries. But have no fear, there's enough acidity here to make you want sips for days... drink with spicy bbq or beef tacos. $14
