11am - 8pm
What top critics are saying about some of the wines we are tasting:
2007 Domaine de la Janasse XXL
"Several California Rhone Ranger winemakers told me they thought this was the greatest Chateauneuf du Pape they ever tasted, which didn’t really surprise me because it is a singularly great wine...in 20 or so years (it) will be considered to be a legend of Chateauneuf du Pape"
- Robert Parker
2007 Domaine Marcoux Vieilles Vignes
"I wonder which of my daughters I should trade for some of this."
- Steven Tanzer's Wine Access
The Full Lineup:
2007 Domaine de la Janasse XXL
2007 Domaine Marcoux Vieilles Vignes
2004 Domaine de la Janasse Cuvee Chaupin
2000 Domaine Marcoux Chateauneuf du Pape
2001 Domaine Marcoux Chateauneuf du Pape
2009 Domaine de la Janasse Vieilles Vignes
and probably a few others!!
There have been times when we have put together a pretty strong tasting lineup for a Saturday tasting. That said, I can't remember one that had a lineup as strong as this one. If you are a lover of fine wine in the very least, you should swing by any of our three stores on Saturday and taste these gems. It also should be noted we will be offering them to you at the lowest prices in the US.
Thirteen year old Chateauneuf du Papes and "virtual" wines that many have never even seen a bottle of...this is the kind of stuff we are rolling out. Domaine de la Janasse and Domaine Marcoux are all the rage at the moment among the critics, and for good reason. They make utterly lush and delicious wines, and yet they are not wines that have sold their souls (ya know, with high alcohol, over-extraction, too much oak and the like) in order to get blessed from he-who-must-not-be-named. These wines are rich and impressive, but they not only retain their souls, they HAVE soul. Character. Personality. Whatever.
Maybe California Cabernet is your thing and you just are not that into wines from the Southern Rhone. Well, this is your chance to see what you have been missing. Maybe you are a huge fan of Chateauneuf. Well, this is your dream tasting. Maybe you have no idea what any of this means and you are curious. Follow your instincts and come on by! If you love wine, love good wine, love trying new things and love a good time - you may want to swing by on Saturday. If you do not like wine, do not like trying new things and do not enjoy a good time - this may not be up your alley :)
As always, THANK YOU for your business and we hope to see you Saturday. The wines should be off the charts.
