Pour a glass for the story of Captain's Cuvée
Maggie recently added the brand new red wine, Captain's Cuvée to the Wine Cave tasting menu. It's a special project of viticulturist (and Maggie's husband) Mark, a former U.S. Navy pilot and airline captain.
Mark's favorite wine is from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, a region in the Southern Rhone Valley, France, that is known for its blend (or cuvée) of grenache, syrah and mourvèdre wine. (Chateauneuf-du-Pape, or, the pope's new castle, takes its name from the time when the pope moved to Avignon in 1309; the first vines were planted there by the ancient Romans.)
Captain's
Cuvée is
Maggie's Virginia-grown twist on a classic French wine. Captain's Cuvée is a flavorful medium-bodied blend with hints of red berries, vanilla and white pepper. It pairs well with lamb or beef. It also is a bronze medal winner in the Virginia's Governor's Cup. Now available to all Wine Cave guests, wine club members already have been enjoying it as part of the spring release.
Visit the Wine Cave and taste Captain's Cuvée for yourself!

Wine Club members get great discounts on Maggie's award-winning wines and member-only events.
But another great advantage of Wine Cave Wine Club membership is the exclusive opportunity to take home select limited-edition releases - available only to Wine Club members!
The current Wine Club release, for example, features
Maggie's Fortissimo, a blend of Petit Verdot and Tannat -
2017 silver medal winner in the Virginia Governor's Cup competition!
(It pairs well with the Authentic Ragu Bolognese recipe we've featured in this newsletter.)
