The Wines!!
Les Vins Trouillet LeBeau, Macon Solutre-Pouilly $22.99
The parcel is the highest of the estate, located at the southern tip of the Mâconnais in the Mont Pouilly, across the famous Solutré Rock. The harvest is usually carried out in the very last days of the harvest campaign, which gives wines of freshness and minerality. The nose opens generously with sweet notes of candied and citrus fruits. The maturity and ripeness of the fruit combine with an aromatic freshness and a real delicacy in the mouth. The wine is structured, but still lively on the finish.

Reverdy Sancerre "La Reine Blanche" $28.99
Domaine Reverdy dates back to 1650 and has been in the family for 10 generations. 
This Sancerre is very 'terroir' driven with fruit sourced from three different soil types (Caillottes, Grosses Terres, and Silex).  The wine is young and fresh with an aromatic nose and peach, watermelon, and citrus zest on the palate. 
Pairs well with seafood, fish, and goat cheese or on its own.


Patricia Raquin Bourgogne Rouge $22.99
This Bourgogne Rouge has been made in order to please the drinkers looking for an unoaked Pinot Noir from Burgundy.
It is showing complexity of aromas, coming only from the grapes and the terroir where the vines are planted.
It is delicate and will express the pure expression of Pinot Noir.
The wine is clean, fruity and focused.


Chateau Bellevue Cuvee' Vielles Vignes $19.99
Aged 12 months in mostly new oak barrels (90% French oak and 10% American oak) and some Château Haut Brion 2nd Barrels.
65% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc with deep ruby color and violet edging.
This 2016, while solidly built, is shy, with a persistent flavor undertow of black raspberries and dark chocolate.
The flavors keep giving in the end, showing the stamina to age.


Chateau Castegens Cotes de Bordeaux $20.99
The wine boasts an intense, deep and lively red color.
The nose offers black fruit, blackberry, cigar box, licorice, some delicate and integrated oak flavors as well.
