France
A very nice lineup from France. We are featuring a classic Côtes de Provence Rosé that is fresh and bubble gummy, a Loire Valley Chenin Blanc that is tart and fruity with racy acidity, a tasty field blend using one red and two white wines from the Loire, and new age red Bordeaux using Syrah and Touriga!! Everything is so tasty and unique. We are delighted to be showing off these fun wines.

Gassier, Côtes de Provence Rose Provence, France $25
Provence is the birthplace of France’s wine growing tradition, dating back to 600 B.C., when the Greeks first introduced vines into the country. Some think that Provence rose are the finest in the world. Clear, pale, peach hue with a salmon pink core. The nose opens up with subtle notes of red berries which give way to more intense aromas of citrus fruits.
Stephen Rocher, “Lemon Tree” Chenin Blanc Loire Valley, France $29
This 100% Chenin Blanc shines with a palate that makes one think of lemon meringue pie. This wine is aromatic, fresh, delicately mellow with a structured acidity typical of this grape. A zesty wine that has a notion of lemonade! Outstanding wine!
Remi Pouizin, “Vice Versa” Red Blend Loire Valley, France $24
50% Cinsault, 30% Grenache Blanc & 20% Viognier! A chillable and crushable red field blend ideal for the sunny day warmth we will get… eventually… This wine is light on its feet with ample crunchy red and yellow fruit. A real no-brainer for sunny activities. Practicing biodynamics and organic vineyards.
Famille Hubert , Cuvée des “2C" Rouge, VDF (Bordeaux), France. $31
OK, Now here is one awesome wine! A Bordeaux wine using Syrah and Touring National!! Bottling under the VDF (vin de France <or table wine> - Can’t say Bordeaux because the legal grapes are not being used). Aromas of toasty oak, gorgeous red fruit, and gentle eucalyptus lead us to a medium-bodied palate where the Syrah brings the spice and the Touriga brings rhubarb tart and plucky green herbaceous and floral notes. Produced according to the strict standards of ‘vin Demeter,’ which means everything from grapes to bottle are certified biodynamic.
50% Syrah, 25% Touriga National, 15% Malbec, 10% Merlot.
