Domaine du Père Caboche Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc
This wine is a beautiful bright color with light yellow and green reflections. The nose is complex and pretty, with white flowers, peach, and ginger. The mouth is smooth and lush, with nice aromatics and light peppered notes.
Tribute to Grace, Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyard, California, Grenache Rosé
This wine is a tribute to the single vineyard old-vine Grenache grown at 3,200 feet. The winemaker, Angela Osborne, uses biodynamic principles to convert the energy of the land into this graceful Rosé. The palate is packed with delicate floral and stone fruit flavors, with bright acidity and an herbal anise-tinged finish.
Claus Preisinger ‘Puszta Libre’ Burgenland, Austria
This wine is a wild-yet-lively and very drinkable red wine blend from Burgenland, Austria. It’s made from Saint Laurent and Zweigelt, with delicate tannins and a vibrant red and black berried fruit character. This wine is excellent for the table and drinks well with a slight chill.
Gregoletto, Treviso Sui Lieviti Prosecco, Veneto, Italy
This wine is a naturally made Prosecco, crafted via sustainable, traditional practices in the hilly epicenter of the vast Prosecco zone. It has a slight cloudiness of a pet-nat, with bracingly pure, clean flavors. The terroir shines through with clarity in each mouthwatering sip.
Beaujolais Release
The annual Beaujolais release is set for November 20, and Montrose Cheese & Wine has put together a 12-pack for the season. This pack includes a selection of wines from each of the 10 crus, plus a Beaujolais Nouveau and Beaujolais-Village.
