Bubbles:
Jean Vesselle Champagne Brut $57.00
Tasting Notes: Made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes from estate vineyards located in and around the village of Bouzy, France, which is known for a classic chalky terroir. A brief maceration gives this wine a red tint, hinting at the aromas of red roses, orange zest, red berries, and stone fruits. The palate mirrors the nose, with an addition of rainbow pepper, light herbs, and a silky, rich, and savory red currant flavor. A truly beautiful champagne with a focus on finesse, rather than power.
White:
Sentium Sauvignon Blanc $78.99
Tasting Notes: Handcrafted with organically farmed fruit, this famed Fume Blanc has been paid homage and celebrated by four generations of the iconic Mondavi family. Fresh salt spray, flint, and the delicate morning essence of citrus and spring rose aromatics. This wine is nimble and vibrant, expressing fresh lychee, white stone fruit, and wet river rock. On the palate: Fresh cut thyme, chamomile, savory lemon curd and white tea. Seductive and mouthwatering.
Red:
Sexual Chocolate Syrah Blend $32.99
Tasting Notes: This rich red blend makes an immediate impression on the nose with ripe red cherry, dark berry, and an array of exotic spices. The silky soft texture is a delight, and flavors of blackberry, cherry cola, plum, dark chocolate and a leathery richness only enhance the experience. Concentrated, layered and simply delicious, this wine goes great with late night debauchery and should be shared immediately with whomever you’re into!
Cheers!
