Today’s Tasting!
Sainte Leocadie Minervois white blend from France ($19.99) – This will take you right back to that trip to Southern France last year, or the one in your dreams! This is a warm weather white with real backbone, with citrus fruit, nice minerality, grip and length and a real affinity toward the foods of the region, anything cooked with wild thyme, especially grilled seafood. In the heart of the Causses (a group of limestone plateaus in the the elevated region of south-central France known as the Massif Central) is the AOC Minervois. In this special section of the western Languedoc is the village of Aigne, with its snail-like center. The origins of this charming village go as far back as the first century AD (when it was inhabited by the Romans), so it is believed that the winding streets were installed as a safeguard against invaders. This is red wine country (and to a lesser extent, rose country), but spectacular white wines can also tote the Minervois appelation.
Nottola Rosso Di Montepulciano from Italy ($19.99) – Nottola Rosso di Montepulciano 2010 is a red wine, made by Nottola. Its origin is Rosso di Montepulciano in Montepulciano, Tuscany, Italy. It is made from the Sangiovese grape. It is soft and “rightly” tannic and a great food wine.
Renwood Premier Old Vine Zinfandel from California ($19.99) – This wine has a nose of exotic spices and dried fruits. This classis old vine character also exhibits notes of lavender. On the palate full in body and very ripe the dark fruit on the first taste melds into mildly spicy fruit with a hint of roasted coffee towards the end. Overall this dusty and bold wine offers ample flavor.
Art on the Bluffs Art Walk!
Tomorrow (Saturday) from 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM @ Main Street – between Locust and Cherry Street. Over 50 talented artists will be participating in the Art on the Bluffs Art Walk.
