NV Jansz Premium Cuvee Brut - Tasmania, Australia (750ml) - $28
Established in 1975, Jansz stepped up their sparkling wine game by partnering with Louis Roederer in 1986 to make a Methode Champenoise that’s a classic blend of 53% Chardonnay 44% Pinot Noir 3% Pinot Meunier from cool climate vineyards across Tasmania. Medium-bodied with balanced acidity and frothy bubbles, it displays aromas of honeysuckle, brioche and citrus with a subtle strawberry note. Delicate fruits and creaminess wash through the mouth leaving a lingering finish of citrus and nougat. A versatile party sparkling, Jansz pairs well with everything from appetizers and charcuterie to chocolate desserts but the best is clearly a Devil Dog.
2020 Blankenhorn Schliengen Chasselas Le Clocher - Baden, Germany (750ml) - $26
Found at the southwestern border of Germany, Blankenhorn winery is nestled between the Rhine River and Black Forest in the sun-drenched region of Baden. It is currently run by owner Martin Männer and cellar master Yvonne Männer who took over in 2014. Using fruit only from certified sustainable vineyards in Schliengen, this wine is 100% Chasselas, more commonly known as Gutedel. The grapes ferment spontaneously before resting in 3,000L barrels for 10 months. The wine undergoes semi-malolactic fermentation resulting in a beautifully textured medium plus body. White florals and honeysuckle greet the nose with fleshy stone fruit and pithy bitters on the palate. A finish of saline minerality and a touch of waxiness makes this a great pairing for a savory soufflé with Gruyère and thyme. For a classic Swiss pairing, drink alongside fondue!
2024 Matias Riccitelli Torrontes (Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree) - Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina (750ml) - $21
Matias Riccitelli was born in the village of Cafayete in Northern Argentina, traveled the world making wine, and returned home to work with his father, Jorge, a revered, local winemaker - thus the ‘Apple Doesn’t Fall Far from the Tree’. This is a classic example of Torrontes, Argentina’s signature white grape. Medium-bodied, crisp and clean with lovely floral and tropical aromas, it’s refreshing with flavors of perfectly ripe guava, melon and peach. From high altitude, un-grafted vines it was harvested manually and fermented as well as aged in concrete eggs at cool temperatures. Pairs wonderfully with mild, soft cheese but also fruity enough to stand up to spicy Sichuan cuisine.
2020 Domaine de la Chapelle des Bois Fleurie Cuvee Grand Pre - Beaujolais, France (750ml) - $22
Chantal and Eric Coudert-Appert are the seventh generation to work the land of Chapelle des Bois. This 100% Gamay is crafted from vines that average 45 years in the revered Beaujolais Cru village of Fleurie, known for its pinkish granite soil and elegant, lighter-bodied reds. It’s farmed in accordance with the principles of lutte raisonée and fermented spontaneously via semi-carbonic maceration in cement vat then aged in large, 50 year old oak foudres. Gorgeous, ripe berry aromas are followed by fresh cherry and red raspberry on the palate with supple tannins, brisk acidity and distinctive mineral earthiness. Pairs beautifully with roasted rosemary chicken and bitter greens or a pungent washed rind cheese like Epoisses with a dense, crusty baguette au levain.
2019 Ladeiras do Xil Valdeorras Gaba do Xil Mencia - Galicia, Spain (750ml) – $18.50
From certified organic, 20-80+ year old vines planted along the banks of the Xil river in the rugged interior of Galicia, Gaba do Xil is a blend of 70% Mencia and 30% Merenzao, an obscure, local grape made by Pablo Eguzkiza, Telmo Rodríguez, and Jorge Saa who are responsible for reviving many ancient vineyard sites, buildings and varietals. Harvested by hand and fermented with native yeast in stainless steel tank where it rests for a year, this medium bodied red exhibits aromas of black pepper and red currant that give way to a palate of red cherry, black olive and flinty, almost smoky minerality. Perfect with Pimenton Padron, Galician fried red peppers sprinkled with rock salt or a hearty Cocido Gallego, a stew with chorizo, meat, chickpeas and turnips.
2019 Badia di Morrona Taneto Toscana Rosso - Tuscany, Italy (750ml) - $22.5
This Syrah-dominant ‘Super Tuscan,’ with Sangiovese and Merlot playing supporting roles, comes from vineyards on the seashell-laden soils of the Badia (abbey) founded run by Cluniac Benedictine Monks around the turn of the first millennium AD. Purchased by the Gaslini Albertini Counts in 1939, it has become a destination spot as well as a producer of great wine and olive oil. The grapes are harvested manually and the estate is almost entirely powered by solar energy. Following fermentation in stainless steel, the wine rests for 12 months in oak barrels followed by a brief period in concrete vats after the final blend is crafted. Medium-to-full-bodied, it boasts plush, velvety tannins with notes of black pepper, cocoa, cassis, brambly berries and a hint of cinnamon. Paired with a rack of lamb or a hearty lentil stew.
