Regular $28.99 SVP $25.99

A heck of a wine. 80% Mourvèdre, 10% Grenache, and 10% Cinsault. Certified organic. I certify it to be orgasmic too! Berries, citrus, zest, and floral notes all converge. It's delicate and smooth with lingering minerality on the finish. Absolutely one of my faves!

Note: The food pairing with Chef Matt Robers has been rescheduled for a later date.

Aline Thiebault of Aliane Wines will be my special guest this Friday night on Friday Night Flights.

Aline is owner of one of the best importers of small production, family owned French wines. Aline grew up in Burgundy in a family of artisan barrel makers and farmers. She remembers the four hour long brunches on weekends that revolved around wine. Later on after a career that began in banking, Aline began her wine career representing premium, family owned wineries from France.

Join us Friday night as we taste a sparkling wine from the Jura region, a Rosé from Bandol, and a Cru Beaujolais made of 100% Gamay. These wines are perfect for the Thanksgiving table!

Click on the link below to join in on the fun wine tasting with your fellow winos, ahem, I meant wine lovers. I'll open up the room at 6:45pm and the program starts at 7pm.

WOW Deals! Wines of the Week

The following wines are G-Rated and have been approved by me. These wines are for those who love delicious wines that over perform and who view wine as a lifestyle.

Duche de Longueville French Sparkling Cider (Contains NO Alcohol)

What? No alcohol? Wow! This really is G-Rated. Okay, okay. Stop your whining. This goes out to the peeps that are looking for a beverage that doesn't contain alcohol yet it drinks superbly and isn't the usual super syrupy sweet ciders that flood the market. Jay and I loved this sparkling cider. We could finish off a bottle and we aren't big fans of sparkling cider. Lovely crisp apple notes, bright, refreshing. Not coyingly sweet but balanced. Put it in a wine glass and enjoy! Great for the kids too!

Notes on a Winecard

What's your favorite Thanksgiving movie?

My son and I were discussing favorite Christmas movies and we wondered if there were movies with a Thanksgiving theme. Well, lo and behold there are. Rotten Tomatoes list their 20 Best Thanksgiving Movies of all time and there's a lot listed that I never heard of (Krisha). However, there is one that is ranked at #3 that I think is my fave and that is "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" See the list here at Rotten Tomatoes

What's America's Favorite Wine Grapes?

According to an article in winesearcher.com it is Cabernet Sauvignon. They broke it down to two lists. One list is for what users drink and the other list is for what people search for on the internet. Cabernet Sauvignon tops both lists. Interesting facts... Hawaii is the most Cabernet crazy state. Chardonnay is the number one grape varietal available in shops in four states - Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Maine and Wyoming. Check out the article here at winesearcher.com
