16 Jun Last Minute Father’s Day Gifts! Special Tasting Thursday, Live Jazz Wednesday!
Still looking for that special Father’s Day gift? How about a nice bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon? We have a great selection of Cab’s that your Dad will love! We will be open on Father’s Day from noon to 5:00.
Don’t miss Thursday’s Tasting! It will be a great night! Jazz night will move to Wednesday next week and today I brought back a couple of wines to taste that are great for the summer and with your barbeque!
Rutherford Wine at Thursday’s Tasting!
Gary Hoyd from Rutherford Wine Company will be in the shop on Thursday to taste several of his wines. We will taste Chardonnays, Cabernet Sauvignons, Zinfandels, a Pinot Noir and a great blend. Mark your calendar! It should be another great event at Chateau La Vin! More details to follow as the date gets closer.
Live Jazz Wednesday!
Live Jazz Thursday is moving to Wednesday night next week. It would be too much to have both the special tasting and jazz the same night. Keith and Ron have agreed to come in on Wednesday night and play for all of you who cannot make it out on Thursdays. Music starts at 7:30. Stop in and taste some great wine with fantastic Jazz!
Tonight’s Tasting!
Chateau Sylvain Raymond White Bordeaux from France ($12.99) – The 2009 Chateau Sylvain Raymond is a white Bordeaux from the Graves Appellation. French wine makers often do not display the blend of grapes on their bottles. The Chateau Sylvain Raymond is no exception. White Bordeaux wine can be a blend of Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle and Ugni Blanc. This wine certainly has Sauvignon Blanc in it and I can taste a little of the Muscadelle too. It is dry but fruity, crisp and leaves a delightful fresh impression on the palate. A very refreshing summer wine!
Campo Viejo Tempranillo from Spain ($10.99) – Deep cherry color that suggests a young, vibrant wine. Rich and intense ripe red fruit with oak nuances and subtle tones of vanilla and sweet spices. On the palate it is true to the nose, perfumed, soft, and fresh with a long length on the palate that leaves memories of red fruit, vanilla, and cocoa. Pairs perfectly with pasta, poultry and fresh light cheeses, grilled chicken, and small bites.
Last Bottle Blowout continues!
I have more new wine coming in (some are here already!) and need to make room for it. We are clearing out some “last” bottles of a variety of wines. I have a table set up with great wines all at 10% off the regular price. These are some great wines that have all but sold out. Stop in and get a few bottles before they are gone!
