Rose Extravaganza this Saturday!

Rosé Tasting This Saturday!
Saturday, May 14, 2011
11am - 8pm
ALL DAY LONG!


http://www.b-21.com/images/puech-huat-prestige-l.gifhttp://www.cheapwinefinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/ccrose20092.jpghttp://vinolist.com/pics/c/17/08289001000033_351c44d.jpg

Including:
2010 Charles and Charles Rosé
2010 Meyer Family Cellars Rosé
2010 Puech-Haut Prestige Rosé
2010 Puech-Haut Tete de Belier Rosé
2010 Mas Donis Rosato
2010 La Janasse Vin de Pays Rosé
2010 Pesquie Terrasses Rosé


Given the enormous response to our rosé newsletter yesterday we came away with one big request from our customers - we want more rosé! No, not your fathers rosé, or that pink stuff you drank in college. You asked for refreshing, dry, aromatic and lovely rosé. The stuff that is going to go well at the beach, on the back porch, by the swimming pool, and with great friends. So we're opening up the floodgates this weekend for a rosé extravaganza! We'll load up our white wine machine with that magical pink elixir we all love so much.

Rosé has been growing in popularity over the last several years as people begin to realize that these wines are not "starter wines" or the "white zinfandel" that they remember from their younger years. While we do have a few higher priced rosé wines that we love, you will find that most of the rosé we carry is around $10 - perfect for everyday sipping and outdoor cookouts in the neighborhood.

So swing on by this weekend and taste some wonderful
rosé. We'll also have a host of great reds on the machine for those of you who are not white wine drinkers. As always, thank you for your support and enjoy all of the wine!

Renegade winemaker Charles Smith puts a bumper sticker in every case of Charles and Charles rosé. It reads:

The best dry rosé we have ever offered!

The Rosé Wines of Puech-Haut
http://www.puech-haut.com/Images/Actualites/2Rose_puech-haut_2009.jpg

2010 Puech Haut "Prestige" Dry Rosé
50% Grenache 50% Cinsault
11 cases left for this year
Winestore Price: $19.99

2010 Puech Haut "Tete de Belier" Dry Rosé
100% Mouvedre
42 bottles left for this year
Winestore Price: $29.99 (net)

Winestore Exclusive in NC!
This picture does not do the beauty of these wines justice! It's almost summertime and we have just received quite possible the best dry rosés we have ever offered. Many of you may recall the 2009 Puech-Haut "Prestige" that we offered back in January – the $19.99 red wine from the Languedoc that sold out in 24 hours.

Well, it turns out Puech-Haut makes some rosé as well, and it is delicious (we had a bottle of each over the weekend!). World renowned wine critic Robert Parker seems to be fan as well. On his bulletin board he was recently asked what should be asked of winemaking phenom Philippe Cambie in an upcoming interview and Parker stated:

"Tell him to make more rose!....the two 2010 dry roses I tasted from Puech-Haut last Friday...one grenache and cinsault,the other 100% mourvedre....were just brilliant wines…I put my money where my mouth goes and told the importer I wanted to purchase several cases...the 100% mourvedre rose may not be any better...just slightly bigger and more structured...which may actually make it less popular...but serious stuff...both of them...the floral, intense aromatics...whoa!"

These wines are super limited – only 28 cases of the "Prestige" and only 10 cases of the Tete de Belier. Only 75 cases of the Tete de Belier came into the US…

We have attached a photo of both bottles, glass stoppers and all, given the packaging and color of the wines are awesome!

Epic Taste off Between Two Spanish Rivals!

Solomon vs. Ordonez Taste Off!
Saturday May 7th, 2011
11am - 8pm
ALL DAY LONG!


http://www.charlottewineandfood.org/assets/images/Personality%20Headshots/Eric-Solomon.gif VS. http://www.diariosur.es/noticias/200911/28/Media/jorge-ordonez300.jpg

FEATURED WINES (partial list)
2004 Muga Prado Enea Rioja
2005 Closa Battlet Priorat
2008 Black Slate Priorat
2007 Paisajes Valsalado Rioja
2005 Merum Ardiles Priorat
2009 Phillipe Cambie Calendal
2008 Mustiguillo Mestis
2009 Bodegas Borsao Garnacha
2010 Wrongo Dongo
2004 Fincas de Ganuza Rioja

Let's be honest: Jorge Ordonez' brilliant wine importing career is partially based upon timing, as the US market is just now emerging as the busiest place for wine commerce in the world. His choice of Spain has augured well, as Spain has only recently decided to create world-class wines throughout its landscape. As the third most prolific maker of wines in the world, Spain can bring a lot of great wine to the table, when it finally decides to do so. But, his many wines reflect his focus upon rich and structured reds, juicy and distinctive whites, even a brilliant dessert wine.

All that said, there are lots of folks who import wines; and it’s rare to find one with a track record and portfolio like Eric Solomon’s. His propensity for ferreting out great wines and greater values from Spain and France has kept him in the ranks of the top importers for nearly two decades. His Spanish portfolio is legendary; and other than Jorge, no one had greater insight into the juggernaut that Spain was about to become, and no one has built a more brilliant Spanish portfolio.

So that is why this weekend we are putting the wines of Eric Solomon and Jorge Ordonez up against each other in an EPIC taste off! We'll have juggernauts like the Paisajes Valsalado vs. Muga Prado Enea and we'll also have entry level offerings like Evodia vs. Atteca (both are private ventures, both are 100% grenache, both are from Calatayud). It's gonna be a full on Spanish throw down (with a crazy good French offering thrown in for good measure).

If you are into ridiculously tasty Spanish wines, this is the tasting for you! We'll also have some silly deals going on with many of the wines, so silly we can't put them in writing without sending our competition into hissy fits!

We hope to see you on Saturday and Happy Tasting!
