Dense, rich, and nicely proportioned on the palate, it has several years of aging potential but can be approached now.&#8221;\u00a0 100% up to 80 year old vine Garnacha.&#8221; The Artazu project was created by the legendary winegrower Juan Carlos Lopez de la Calle of Rioja&#8217;s famous Artadi estate. The goal was to take the same quest for varietal purity that Juan seeks in Tempranillo to the Garnacha varietal.&#8221; The small village of Artazu in the northernmost zone of Navarra was chosen for its extraordinary old vines of Garnacha producing wines of dark, peppery fruit with amazing balance and soft tannins.<\/p>\n<p>Stop in today and try both of these unique wines! \u00a0I have also updated our wine by the glass lists.\u00a0 Some new alternatives to try by the glass.\u00a0 If the lights are on, we are open!<\/p>\n<p>Mark your calendar.\u00a0 Wednesday, January 25th from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm Ted Fuehne from Sourthern Wines will be in for a special free wine tasting!\u00a0 Ted is a Certified Wine Educator.\u00a0 He will have a great selection of wines and be able to tell you all about them.\u00a0 Look for more information as the date gets closer.<\/p>\n<p>This Saturday, January 14th, Chateau La Vin will be closing at 7:00 pm for a private event.\u00a0 I apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Friday the 13th!\u00a0 I hope your day has been free of bad luck!\u00a0 What better way to bring on good luck than a free tasting of a couple great wines!\u00a0 We have a red and white to taste today.
