NV Franck Peillot Bugey Montagnieu Brut Methode Traditionelle
Savoie, France
Composed improbably of around one third each Chardonnay, Altesse, and quickly-pressed Mondeuse,
Lemon, fresh apple, yellow plum, freshly milled grain, musky narcissus, and intimations of maritime breeze in the nose lead to a palate subtly creamy yet bright; generously juicy with apple and lemon; and transparent to savory nuances of saline, alkaline, subtly sweet raw scallop. This finishes with saliva- as well as next sip-inducement and an invigorating twang of lees, mineral, and citrus zest. The quality of mousse, incidentally, is reasonably fine. In short, you won’t find many more interesting non-Champagne sparklers than this, not to mention its offering excellent value. 90 Pts Wine Advocate
BTG $8.75 Retail $21.99

2011 Felici Verdicchio

2010 Chave Mon Coeur Cotes de Rhone Syrah, Grenache
Southern Rhone, France
This dense ruby/purple-colored, rich 2010 reveals kirsch and black currant fruit intermixed with notions of spice box, pepper and meat. Luscious and round, it is ideal for drinking over the next 5-6 years. 90pts Wine Advocate, 90pts Stephen Tanzer

This Tuesday we have a special guest! Matt Cline
Perhaps the best kept secret in California winemaking is the Contra Costa appellation. This area east of the San Francisco Bay area boasts some of the world’s oldest vines as well as some the most concentrated and powerful wines in California. It is a special place that makes a special kind of wine. The Three Winery was established by someone who is an expert on the region, Matt Cline. His family has been there over 100 years and his grandparents were part of the huddled masses that began planting grapes. However, they are perhaps best known for their contribution to the world of plumbing when they invented the system for what is today known as the hot tub, the first model bearing the family’s name, Jaccuzzi. His brother remains the owner of the larger commercial winery, Cline Cellars in the same region but Matt opted to stay small and concentrate on hand crafted cuvees sourced from some of the oldest vines on the planet Earth.

The Petite Sirah adds to this a firm tannin backbone along with boysenberries and pepper while the Carignane adds a pronounced fleshy mouth feel along with dark cherries and coffee notes. Our Mataro comes from vines that are now over 120 years old and add spice elements, violets, and complex phenolic structures that enhance the overall mouth feel and age ability of this wine.

South African wine has a history dating back to 1659. Access to international markets has unleashed a burst of new energy and new investment.
From that long history comes a wine tradition of tastes and styles with its roots in the classic “Old World” of France, Germany and Italy, but also an acute awareness of the contemporary consumer, as has been defined by wine-making in the “New World” of California and Australia.

The freshness of the wine puts its head in front of the previous vintages. Spicy oak aromas cover a rounded mid-palate that reveals layers of fruit with intense purity.
