<\/a><\/p>\nJoel Gott Pinot Gris from Oregon ($16.99)<\/strong> – The Joel Gott Pinot Gris has aromas of white peach, orange blossom and kaffir lime. Crisp acidity on the front of the palate leads to a vibrant, refreshing mouthfeel rounded out by minerality.<\/p>\nCharles Krug Cabernet Sauvignon from California ($21.99)<\/strong> – Our Peter Mondavi Family Cabernet Sauvignon provokes aromas of black cherry, raspberry and a hint of cocoa. Flavors of black currant mingle with rose petals while supple, smoky overtones visit the back palate. A silky mouthfeel and balanced tannins create an elegant finish to this classic Napa Valley wine.<\/p>\nB Side Red Blend from California ($37.99)<\/strong> – Many of you have tried the B Side Cab.\u00a0 Now let’s try the B Side Red Blend.\u00a0 In crafting the 2010 B Side Napa Valley Red Wine Blend, winemaker Greg Kitchens used 5 different varietals from over 7 sub-appellations. The wine opens with a heady bouquet of black cherries, dried plumbs, blackberries and peat moss. One\u2019s first sip is greeted by a flavorful cacophony of black currants, dried blueberries, and Blackstrap molasses with hints of black pepper and toasted coconut emerging on the finish.\u00a0 This full-bodied wine is lush and rich with finely integrated tannins, yet it also shows impeccable balance. If Cabernet Sauvignon represents the \u201cA\u201d side of Napa Valley, then this artfully blended wine demonstrates just how great the \u201cB\u201d side can be.\u00a0 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 16% Syrah, 11% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc.<\/p>\nHalloween Hi-Jinks on Historic Main Street!<\/strong><\/p>\nSaturday, 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!\u00a0 Chateau La Vin will have plenty of candy to pass out for the kids!\u00a0 For the adults we will have some warm Broomstick Brew for you to sample! \u00a0After the trick-or-treating, head over to CHS to cheer on the Eagles in their first round of the playoffs!<\/p>\n
