It's sunny and just over 30°F today, so fire in the chimnea time! First flames of 2019. One of our favorite new (2009) AOC's in France, this is 80% Gamay & 20% Poulsard, but the epitome of 100% sparkling strawberry juice! So GD delicious! One thing to note, last bottle is always the best, we're out of stock now, but don't hold these too long.

Julia Child once wrote, “In France…good cooking was regarded as a combination of national sport and high art, and wine was always served with lunch and dinner.” Known in France as the “quatorze juillet,” this Saturday, July 14th marks the 229th anniversary of the storming of the Bastille and the beginning of the French Revolution. What better time to enjoy France’s inimitable gastronomic and vinous traditions?

"Anything but Chardonnay," you may have heard your friend cry. They call it the "ABCs" of wine, and perhaps you've even uttered those words yourself. Truthfully, no other grape variety yields as diverse a spectrum of wines as Chardonnay . As the world's 5th most popular wine grape, Chardonnay's reach extends from Burgundy and Champagne to Bolivia and the Czech Republic . In short, there's a Chardonnay to suit every palate.
