We are warming up for the holiday season here at the wine shop. Thanksgiving is less than 2 weeks away and then we roll into December which is a fun time of year to be in the wine business. Dodge the clouds and make your way into the shop to see what’s going on.
Saturday we have and especially festive line up for T-day and beyond:

Sunday we are featuring two wines from Loire Valley winemaker Nicolas Idiart that would be great with the big bird.
2016 Nicolas Idiart Chenin Blanc $14
This dry Chenin Blanc spent 10 months on lees in order to offer a plump mouthfeel with bright ginger-led core of yellow apple and fig with a mineral-tinged finish. Organic.
2018 Nicolas Idiart Pinot Noir $14
This Loire Pinot is a great value. Red berries with licorice and spices. It is harmonious and balanced, with a plump fruitiness and silky texture.
