Wine and Chocolate. Mom Says Yes Please.

What Mom wants? A glass of wine and to be left alone (It took me years to figure this out...consider it free wisdom). Let's just make this easy. I was forced to taste dozens of special chocolates to find these exquisite examples from world renown chocolate Chef Genie Kwon. After this difficult time of tasting and pairing, I came up with these perfect gifts; either one time shipments or club subscriptions.

Cabernet Sauvignon, 2018. Black's Station

It's one thing to be the first, as nobody can take that away from you. It's another to be the best, though that can change. The best scenario is when you're both. That is the case with the Giguiere Family, owners of Black's Station. They were the first ones to plant grapes in Yolo County's Dunnigan Hills nearly 40 years ago. Their two previous generations were also grape growers so they knew a thing or two about growing grapes.

Rivesaltes Ambre, 2004. Domaine Cazes

Aperitif and dessert wines with strong personalities, the 'vins doux naturels' (naturally sweet wines), reflect the expertise and the image of La Maison Cazes, which scrupulously keeps its manufacture and aging process a secret

Cabernet Sauvignon, 2018. Auctioneer

The Auctioneer is a tribute to the great Michael Broadbent, and it is a wine he'd be proud to drink in good company. The 2018 vintage is aged in 60% New Oak and 40% neutral barrels for 15 months. The wine is refined, elegant, and beautifully balanced-in essence, the style of wine that made Napa Valley famous. It has dark aromas of Cassis, plum and anise, and the palate displays rich cherry and blackberry flavors with just the right amount of fresh acidity and toasty spice. Soft, ripe, tannins lead to a balanced and long finish.

Sangiovese, 2014. Torre Di Ceparano

Intense ruby color, the nose is expressive, with notes of violet, black cherry, red fruits, jam, coffee, and sweet spices. In the mouth it is full-bodied, warm, with a long persistence and with evolving tannins. To be paired with pasta with meat sauce, risotto, stewed, roasted and grilled red meat and furred game.

Super Tinto from the Giguiere Family On Sale Now!

Our relationship with the Giguiere family goes back to the 2005 bottling of the very same Tinto Rey...well, this Super Tinto is the big brother. Tinto is the Spanish word that refers to the color of wine and our Super Tinto is just that, deep rich in color and the same on the palate. This vintage sells for $21.99 on the winery's website...get it from me for $5.99/bottle.

Meet Anne Sophie DuBois & Her Organic Fleurie

Anne-Sophie fell in love with Gamay and decided that Fleurie was where she wanted to call home. Her domaine is composed of eight hectares in the heart of Fleurie that are now organically farmed. She refrains from using new oak, and prefers to utilize cement vats and larger neutral oak casks for fermentation and aging. The resulting wines are renditions of Gamay abound with fruit, finesse and exquisite balance. Most of her plots are already of considerable age, her oldest are 60+ years old.

Chardonnay Reserve, 2016. Ponzi

Ponzi Vineyards continues to set the standard for Oregon's viticultural innovation while maintaining an unwavering commitment to a tradition of winemaking excellence. For the last 25 years, this philosophy has been carried on by the Ponzi family's second generation: President and Director of Sales and Marketing, Anna Maria Ponzi, and Winemaker Luisa Ponzi. The 2016 Ponzi Chardonnay Reserve is a blend of Ponzi's LIVE Certified Sustainable Avellana and Aurora Vineyards' Chardonnay with those of Paloma, Alloro and Three Cedars Vineyards. All the grapes were planted on Laurelwood soil in the Chehalem Mountains AVA and the Eola-Amity Hills AVA (Sunset View and Bunker Hill).

Cabernet Sauvignon, 2016. Trinchero Mario's Vineyard

The 2016 Mario's Cabernet Sauvignon is lush, with aromas and flavors of dark cherries, mocha, chocolate and raspberry jam. On the palate, the wine is soft and youthful, with lovely polished tannins and a lingering, silky finish.

Experience Bordeaux - Amazing Travel Book

Here is another amazing photo journal from author Michael Higgins. This is the second in his series of the great wine regions of the world. You can literally tour the region from your kitchen table while tasting through a wine that is written on in the book; I have always been a fan of the Les Hauts de Smith wine from Château Smith Haut Lafitte.
