We will be closing at 5 pm on Thursday, December 31st. As always, we will be closed New Year's Day. And, we are always closed Sunday and Monday. Rather than drag my hard-working, possibly sober crew back in, we are going to stay closed the Saturday in-between. Then we've got inventory on Tuesday. (It ain't all roses and sunshine!) The bottom line is we will be closed January 1-5, reopening on Wednesday, January 6. I know... we will "miss" some sales. I apologize for any inconvenience, but the gang needs a breather. They've earned it this year in spades! Stock up today so you won't go thirsty!
Le G de Chateau Guiraud 2018
Two things give this wine a distinctive and unique character compared with other White Bordeaux. First, the wine is an even blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. The richness of the Semillon is balanced by the vibrant acidity of the Sauvignon Blanc. Then, 80% of the wine is aged in barrels previously used to make Guiraud's primary wine - a sweet Sauternes. And not just any Sauternes, but one of the best examples out there! Anyhoo, these used barrels don't add any sweetness to the wine, but rather add an intriguing hint of botrytis that presents itself in a barely there hint of guave, mango and spice. A perfect match with shellfish risotto. Click on the pic for a recipe. |
