Celebrating Our 10th Anniversary
10 Years of Importing French Wines It is with great pride that we celebrate 10 years of bringing you the wonderful wines from small family-owned vineyards that we have discovered over the years. We still represent 4 of the vineyards that first came into our shop on February 26, 2007. We will be tasting wines from those vineyards as well as others.
Come help us celebrate. We will have a jar for you to put your business card in and we will pick one winner to receive a bottle of wine.
Tim will be pouring!
Santé Phyllis & Tim

February 6-Pack to Go
Some notes on each of our selections this month that, we feel, make them special. The Brunet Vouvray is relatively rare with only 1,600 cases made per year. It is an excellent example of wines from that region of the Loire. The Dedicace from Rives-Blanques is possibly the only Chenin Blanc wine with appellation status in the entire south of France and worth a try. The Romanin Macon is a fresh, fruity white from the southern reaches of Burgundy. Julien Masquin is one of the young winemakers making names for themselves in the southern Rhône. His wines are finding increasing popularity in the UK and US. The Domaine Montrose is another of the rarities that we occasionally find. Fewer than 600 cases are made each year and it is the top of the line for this vineyard and the only red of theirs that we import. Finally, the Bichon Cassignol Grande Réserve is a classic Bordeaux from the Graves region, 50-50 Cabernet & Merlot.
