Happy Thursday, Wine Friends!
We’re excited to share with you our latest staff picks for a tasting experience that’s sure to delight your palate. This collection includes four wines that offer a range of flavors from Greece, Spain, France, and Chile. Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or just starting to explore, each bottle brings something unique and exceptional to the table. Join us as we explore these carefully selected wines:
Papargyriou Moushoudi/Assyrtiko Wild 2022 (Greece):
This Greek gem blends the rich, citrus-forward character of Assyrtiko with the vibrant and slightly earthy notes of Moushoudi. A refreshing, medium-bodied white wine with a crisp finish, it showcases the wild side of Greek terroir. Perfect for a sunny afternoon or paired with seafood.
Ameztoi Rubentis Rosé Txakolina (Spain):
From the coastal region of Basque Country, this Txakolina rosé is both refreshing and food-friendly. Made from the indigenous Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Beltza grape varieties, it’s slightly effervescent, offering a lively sparkle that makes it a perfect companion for tapas or seafood dishes.
Clos du Mont-Olivet Côtes-du-Rhône VV 2020 (France):
A classic Côtes-du-Rhône with a touch of elegance, this wine hails from the famed Mont-Olivet estate. The “Vieilles Vignes” (old vines) add depth and complexity, resulting in a red that is full of rich, spicy flavors with soft tannins, making it perfect for both immediate enjoyment and aging.
Mariposa Alegre Cabernet Sauvignon Gran Reserva 2020 (Chile):
This Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon brings bold, rich flavors of dark fruits and structured tannins. With 18 months in oak, it develops a beautifully integrated balance of fruit and oak, offering a sophisticated and approachable wine that pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or hearty dishes.
We’d love for you to experience these wines in person at our upcoming tasting event tomorrow. It’s a great opportunity to savor these exceptional bottles, explore the stories behind them, and find your next favorite wine.
