This month, Just A Taste brought in an impressive allocation of one of our favorite producers from Beaujolais. For November, we hope you enjoy discovering M&C Lapierre Morgon 2020.
Vina Bosconia Rioja Reserva by Lopez de Heredia is featured for our October Discover club. While Bodega Lopez de Heredia is a historied estate, the Bosconia is one of their lesser known wines that showcases the more elegant nature of Rioja Alta.
The Steinsetz vineyard gives a super focused mineral edge that reinforces the sharp snap that I love in Gruner. This wine is like an energetic horse out of the gate, but if you rest it to mature for a few years, it will ease into itself and show a calmer yet serious character.
This month, we explore the new second label from famed biodynamic Napa producer Rudd with their “Crossroads” Sauvignon Blanc 2017.
This month, we explore the wines of Heidi Schroeck, a renowned winemaker in eastern Austria, with her beautifully Nostalgic Naturelle.
This month, we hope Charles Joquet’s Varennes du Grand Clos and Clos de la Plante Martin will transport our Jefferson and Discover club members to the ancient city of Chinon.
A few years ago, I had the great fortune to taste with my friend and mentor, Dan Pilkey, a brand ambassador for Paul Hobbs. While I’ve always enjoyed the wines Hobbs makes, Dan mentioned and poured a wine from Hobbs’ new Armenian collaboration with the Yacoubian family. For this month, I’d like to sip and share two selections from Yacoubian-Hobbs for the Discover and Jefferson Clubs.
Just A Taste Jefferson and Discover Wine Clubs experience the young rising star of Burgundy, Pierre Girardin, with his Pommard Les Vignots 2018 and Bourgogne Vieilles Vignes 2018.
Barolo is often considered The Wine of Kings, partly because it takes years or decades to mature, and partly due to its price. However, just 10 miles north of Barolo is Roero. Here, Malvira produces a lovely Nebbiolo Riserva that was conveniently aged in their cellars before presenting to you! Perhaps it IS possible to have your cake and eat it too.
