Wine News🍷

Just a few new wines to share with you this week.

Dan’s Feature ⭐️

One of my favorites for Christmas dinner has always been a Chateauneuf du Pape, so that’s where I’m going this week. Jean XXII 2020 is my feature for this week, priced at a modest $39.99 this bottle can accompany anything on this years holiday table. Cuvée Jean XXII Chateauneuf du Pape “opens to inviting aromas of dark cherries and raspberries and are underlined by smoked meats, spices, wild herbs and florals all taking shape. On the palate this wine possesses a gorgeous elegant personality, with a silky, refined texture and layers of red and dark fruit which build to the long, velvety finish. A simply fantastic wine which is drinking beautifully now, yet shows the potential to age gracefully”. I’m going to age this wine for about another two days and open and enjoy it very much! These prices are very fair for such a great wine and believe me these wines will pair beautifully with any holiday meal.


Dan’s Pick 🥂

Yamhill is back! The distributors just stopped in today and had a couple spare cases of Yamhill Valley Vineyards Estate 2018 Pinot Noir and their 2021 Rose’. Both of these wines had a brief appearance here and they went over extremely well. Their Pinot Noir goes for $24.99 and is perfectly priced and wonderful for your holiday needs. The Rose’ of Pinot Noir at $19.99 is a great buy as well. Both of these wines over deliver and are great buys. “The Burger family, who founded in 1983 what’s now the oldest winery in Oregon’s McMinnville American Viticultural Area, and homegrown winemaker Ariel Eberle continue to release wines worthy of acclaim in the wake of being named 2019 Oregon Winery of the Year. Their flagship bottling is this estate Pinot Noir, a sweep of the 150-acre site that features Pommard, Wadensvil and a handful of Dijon clone fruit that spent eight months in a barrel program with a discreet impact of wood from 10% new French oak. That allows it to take on a Burgundian approach with its earthiness and incredible balance that swirls in a wealth of dark blue fruit, a scrape of vanilla bean and sense of forest floor. There’s richness through the midpalate that gathers up white pepper and Craisin for the pleasantly long finish.” Both of these products are exceptional and won’t last long so if they sound delicious stop in quick and pick up a few.
