Friday Tasting!
We have three wines to taste today including an unusual Spanish white wine I just got in for a real bargin!
Reinares Viura from Spain ($10.99) – Deliciously refreshing! Pale and crystalline in the glass, this refreshing wine present a clean nose of fine, herbaceous aromas with hints of lemon. On the tongue, the wine is deliciously citrusy, with a grand final sensation of fullness and lusciousness.
Tres Pico Borsao Garnacha from Spain ($19.99) – – “Glass-staining purple. Lively, faintly medicinal aromas of cherry, blueberry and licorice, plus hints of smoky herbs and flowers. Juicy and expansive, offering sweet, deeply pitched bitter cherry and dark berry flavors supported by a taut spine of acidity and fine-grained tannins. Finishes with powerful spicy thrust and suggestions of candied flowers and woodsmoke. This could pass for a northern Rhone wine, and a really good one at that.” 91 Points International Wine Cellar. “This rich red is brimming with raspberry jam, chocolate, licorice and wild herb flavors. Firm tannins are well-integrated and buoyed by orange peel acidity. A lively modern style. Drink now through 2015. 5,000 cases imported.” 90 Points Wine Spectator.
Decoy Napa County Cabernet Sauvignon from California ($26.99) – Reflecting the character of each growing season, the Decoy Napa Valley Cabernet is made to be opened and enjoyed upon release. It is rich and appealing with fragrant, lifted aromas of mulberry, raspberry and currant with hints of rhubarb and mocha. The soft-toned fruit flavors dominate the plush and inviting palate with engaging spice complexity. This supple and approachable wine has a lingering finish framed by structured tannins. Blend: 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot.
Halloween Hi-Jinks on Historic Main Street!
Saturday, October 27th from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Bring your kids to Historic Main Street where the businesses will participate in a great Trick-Or-Treat tradition!

Halloween Night!
We are planning a great Halloween night at Chateau La Vin! Let’s have a Halloween Party for the Adults! Dress up in your scariest costume or just stop in to see everyone and enjoy some special treats! We will have a costume contest with the best costume winning the Wine Globe Bottle Top Aerator! I’d love to give away a bottle of wine, but Illinois law does not allow that. Mark your calendars to be here on the 31st!
