One needs to do something as the planes screech overhead. We’ll be sipping wine. French wine. All weekend. Come join us.
Friday
2021 Château Roquegrave, Médoc $12
70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot
Bordeaux
A medium-bodied Bordeaux featuring aromas of juicy dark fruits like blackcurrant, blueberry, and mulberry, complemented by notes of anise and warm baking spices. The palate is supported by firm tannins that lead to a lingering finish.
Saturday
2023 Jean Marie Reverdy, Sancerre La Villaudiere $34
Sauvignon Blanc
Loire
The wine has notes of elderflower, gunflint, green apples, lemon zest, and a crushed sea shell characteristic. This Sancerre has a racy acidity that enlightens each flavor component and leaves your mouth watering for more.
2022 Domaine Fond Croze, Rasteau $22
80% Grenache 10% Syrah 10% Mourvèdre
Southern Rhone
An expressive, fresh style of Rasteau with well-defined blackberry and plum fruit, bright acidity and firm, muscular tannins. The finish is long and the alcohol doesn’t feel excessive. A touch of perfumed strawberry and cinnamon on the finish.
Sunday
2023 Domaine du Salvard, Cheverny Rosé $18
65% Pinot Noir, 35% Gamay
Loire
This Loire Valley rose is fresh and zippy. Made from Pinot Noir and Gamay, it bursts with wild strawberry, citrus zest, and a touch of minerality.
