With the big Holiday Festival coming up Saturday, Friday’s free tasting will focus on great value bubbles, whites and reds you can share at parties, dinners and more. Join us from 3-7pm on December 6 and you’ll get to know:
Mata I Coloma Pere Mata Reserva Familia 2018 - Like a super-intense "Brut Nature" Champagne, this has lazer-like focus and a minerally, bone dry, mouth feel and finish. It opens to add just-right notes of green apple and Asian pear to complement the brioche and toasted nut complexity. Yum!
Brick & Mortar Chardonnay Sonoma Coast 2023 - Russian Chard that serves up lovely ripe yellow apple, white peach and tart nectarine. The oak is beautifully integrated, giving spice and texture without getting in the way of a dry, refreshing, finish.
Ch La Caminade Cahors Mission La Cominade 2022 - One of the finest values in the shop, this is “the black wine” of Cahors at its most friendly and fun-loving. Fun for solo sipping and all kinds of food from must $9.98.
McPrice Myers Cabernet Sauvignon Bull by the Horns 2022 – Plenty of robust Paso Robles fruit here with a nice dose of oak spice and cocoa and a super supple, easy, finish. Big enough for roasted meat and easy enough for sharing at a party.
McPrice Myers Zinfandel Pound for Pound 2022 – Exactly what Paso Robles Zin is supposed to be: loads of rich raspberry fruit, a touch of Zinny bramble, mouth-filling volume and a silky, fine, finish. Pound for Pound, a heck of a deal!
For holiday snacking and sharing, Jose has chosen Uplands Cheese Company Pleasant Ridge Reserve Extra Aged as our cheese of the week. Uplands Cheese Pleasant Ridge is a deliciously creamy, rich and savory, Alpine-style cheese that’s a little like a cross between Beaufort and Gruyere. The Reserve is made only from summer milk when the cows are grazing fresh pasture. And the Extra Aged is the best of the Reserve, held back for 15 months or more to firm up and develop an especially vibrant palate.
Come try a nibble of Pleasant Ridge Reserve Extra Aged and all five holiday wines Friday to start your holiday shopping off with a delicious bang!
