PETIT WEEK IN WINE | September 5th - September 8th

A TASTING FLIGHT FEATURING:

The Iberian Peninsula

Come discover three off-the-beaten-path wines that deliver top quality & value

Get ready to embark on a journey across the Iberian Peninsula with three extraordinary wines from Spain & Portugal from varietals the locals have come to know, and love!


This week, we’re bringing the vibrant traditions and unique terroirs of this historic region right to your glass - an experience you won’t want to miss!


Here is what you can expect in this week's $18 Tasting Flight:


  • Txakoli from the Basque Region of Spain: This refreshing white wine is known for its slight spritz, zesty acidity, and bright citrus notes. Txakoli is the quintessential Basque drink, often enjoyed with pintxos in the bustling bars of San Sebastián. It’s a true expression of the rugged Atlantic coast and a perfect way to start your tasting adventure.


  • Castelão from Portugal: A lesser-known gem, Castelão is one of Portugal’s most widely planted grape varieties. This red wine offers a delightful balance of ripe red fruit, subtle spice, and earthy undertones, reflecting the sun-drenched vineyards of the Setúbal Peninsula. Castelão is versatile and food-friendly, making it a must-try for those seeking something different yet approachable.


  • Priorat from Spain: Known for producing some of Spain’s most powerful and prestigious wines, Priorat is a region where old vines thrive on steep, slate-laden terraces. The result is a deeply complex red wine with intense flavors of dark fruit, licorice, and a distinctive minerality. It’s a bold finish to our flight, showcasing the depth and richness of Spanish winemaking.


These wines are not only delicious, but also offer a fascinating glimpse into the diverse viticultural landscapes of the Iberian Peninsula. Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or just beginning your wine journey, this tasting flight promises to expand your palate and deepen your appreciation for these remarkable regions.


Join us this week to taste, learn, and perhaps find a new favorite wine to share with friends and family. At just $18, it’s a fantastic value of top tier fruit that you do not want to miss!


The Tasting Flight starts tonight and runs through the weekend, but don’t wait - supplies are limited!


Cheers to September,


Mark

GAÑETA

Txakoli 2023

Getariako, Spain


$27 btl/retail (available online HERE)

Gañeta is a family-owned winery located in the renowned wine region of Getaria in the Basque Country of Spain. Known for its picturesque coastal setting and rich winemaking traditions, Getaria has gained recognition for producing high-quality Txakoli! Vibrant & lively - one to enjoy during these dwindling days of summer!


Varietal: Hondarribi Zuri from vineyards near the Cantabrian Sea in the Getariako region of Spain.


Tasting Notes: Enjoy a bouquet of crisp citrus fruits, such as zesty lime, lemon, and hints of grapefruit on the nose. One of the distinctive qualities of Txakoli is its slight effervescence or natural spritz. When poured into a glass from a height, it creates a delightful frothy foam that adds a playful and fizzy sensation to the wine!

PENETRA

Castelão 2023

Lisboa, Portugal


$25 btl/retail (available online HERE)

Winemaker Mauro Azóia takes the little known Castelão grape and creates a vibrant and approachable Portuguese red wine that is versatile & delights on the palate.


Varietal:  100% Castelão grown in southern Portugal near Lisboa.


Tasting Notes:  Ruby color in the glass with a nose that offers inviting aromas of ripe red berries, including strawberry and raspberry, complemented by a subtle hint of black pepper. The palate reveals a medium body with smooth, balanced flavors of fresh fruit and a touch of earthy, herbal notes. Its lively acidity and soft tannins lead to a clean, bright finish.

CELLERS UNIÓ ROUREDA

Llicorella Gran Seleccio Vitis 60 2016

Priorat, Spain


$36 btl/retail (available online HERE)

Unique red blend distinctive of Priorat thanks to the steep slopes of licorella (brown & black slate) where these 60 year old vines grow. Great value & quality for a bold Spanish red.


Varietal: Mazuela and Garnacha that has been aged in oak for 15-18 months.


Tasting Notes: A dark cherry red wine, with violet reflections and an aroma of ripe black fruits. Has a series of mineral notes and a powerful, full-bodied taste of ripe, unctuous tannins. A long, elegant after-taste, well balanced and with good aging notes.
