Fall in Love
(With these wines)
As we celebrate our emotions on Valentine’s, we help you fall in love with these wines!
We sample a super-keen bubble from Alsace France, An AMAZING Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley in France. For the reds we get into a jammy California Zinfandel, and a red Blend from Washington that is sooo good. Check em out…

Chateau D'Orschwihr, Crémant d’Alsace, FR $25
This Crémant d'Alsace has been kept for three years with the yeast in the bottle. This lengthy time provides for fine bubbles and more delicate aromas. Very aromatic, it will be a perfect match as an aperitif or with dessert.
Domaine des Forges, St Aubin, Coteaux du Layon, FR $24
Chenin Blanc harvested when it is over-ripe. Soil of shale, quartz, and clay and sand. Average age of vines are over 40 years. A nose of fresh grapefruit and tropical notes, including pineapple and whipped cream. Well- balanced in the mouth, where dried apricots, figs, dates, dominate. DANG!!!
Four Vines, Old Vines Zinfandel, CA $16
93% Zinfandel, 7% Petite Sirah Aromas of ripe wild berry flavors with a hefty dusting of spice and zesty pepper, full-bodied with a juicy entry and a big finish.
Lydian GSM, Columbia Valley WA $26
53% Mourvèdre, 26% Syrah, 21% Grenache (GSM) Fresh and lively on the palate, with strawberry, red cherry, and hints of savory earth, fresh mint, and lavender. A delicious wine.
