\"Kroara<\/a>The Kroara Cortese was a big hit when we tasted it at the “Italian Wine Tasting”.\u00a0 Now we have the very same wine in a box.\u00a0 Yes, I did say a box.\u00a0 We will taste the wine from the box today along with a great barbeque wine!\u00a0 Tonight in the UnWine Garden we will have live music for the first time starting at 7:30!<\/p>\n

Kroara Cortese White Wine in a 3 liter box ($19.99)<\/strong> – This is the same wine that is in the bottle, but this box hold the same as four bottles of wine.\u00a0 Four bottles would cost almost $50!\u00a0 Plus, the box is great for all those outside events where glass is not allowed.\u00a0 Great by the pool, on the boat or even for a picnic.\u00a0 Cortese is one of the most important whites of the Piemonte region, second only to Moscato. The Vinchio Vaglio Serra \u201cKroara\u201d Cortese is fresh and clean. This crisp, light, and fruity wine has subtle notes of apples and pears and food friendly acidity. Cortese makes an excellent food wine and can be paired with hors d\u2019oeuvres, shellfish, and seafood. It is a fitting match for pasta with green herbs as well.\u00a0 Stop in for a taste today!<\/p>\n

Brassfield Estate Zinfandel from California ($21.99)<\/strong> – \u00a0The red zinfandel is a great red wine for barbeque season!\u00a0 It is a big fruit forward wine that can stand up to the big steaks, chicken, pork and even works well with burgers and dogs!\u00a0 The Vineyards:<\/strong> The two and a half acre vineyard that bears this fruit is located above 2000 feet on the eastern edge of High Valley Appellation, along the base of Round Mountain Volcano. The combination of high elevation and extremely porous soils both limit production while extracting profound quality and flavor.\u00a0 The Winemaking:<\/strong> At Brassfield Estate, our winemaking emphasizes quality and the use of traditional hand crafted techniques, which create wines that have both power and finesse. During harvest we used aerative pump over\u2019s and finish with extended maceration with heating of the must. The Malolactic fermentation takes place in our caves using native bacteria. The wine was stirred monthly on its lees to achieve body and texture, and a small percentage of Petite Sirah from our Volcano Ridge vineyard was blended to provide additional depth and structure. The wine was fined, but bottled without filtration.\u00a0 Tasting Notes:<\/strong> The 2009 Zinfandel is a concentrated wine that is rich, ripe and round. It has aromas of blackberry pie and black cherry, with undertones of oak, which expands into a wine that has plush tannins with jammy fruit essences that linger on the finish.<\/p>\n

Live Music in the UnWine Garden!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Karen and Hannah are going to play some acoustic folk\/pop songs from the 60’s to the present! \u00a0The music starts at 7:30! \u00a0I’m so excited about having them be the first to play outside in the UnWine Garden!\u00a0 It will be back to back night’s of music at Chateau La Vin!\u00a0 Stop in for a glass of wine or beer, some cheese and crackers, Almond Butter Crunch from Zettie’s Confections or order from one of the local restaurants “to go” and bring it in!<\/p>\n

Last Bottle Blowout continues!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have more new wine coming in and need to make room for it. \u00a0We are clearing out some “last” bottles of a variety of wines.\u00a0 \u00a0I have a table set up with great wines all at 10% off the regular price.\u00a0 These are some great wines that have all but sold out.\u00a0 Stop in and get a few bottles before they are gone!<\/p>\n

Summer Hours!<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the festive summer feeling and daylight lasting later into the evening, many of you have wanted to stop in for a glass of wine after 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday or Wednesday.\u00a0 So, for the summer I will extend my Tuesday and Wednesday hours to at least 9:00 p.m.\u00a0 If you are in the mood for a glass of wine or a beer after your kids (or your) sporting event or other activity, Chateau La Vin will now be open!\u00a0 Remember, if the lights are on, we are open!<\/p>\n
