El Coto Blanco Rioja- Reg $11.99 10% off during tasting
In early 1945, Julio Ramírez de la Piscina, followed the tradition inherited from his parents in Ábalos, and continued cultivating the family vineyards in San Vicente de la Sonsierra and began producing traditional Rioja wines. In 1961, Julio moved to Bilbao with his wife Angela and began selling his wine in the old Bodeguilla Riojana in the Plaza del Corazón de María. In 1973, Bodegas Ramírez was officially founded and began to sell bottled wine under this name. In 1980, the fourth generation of the Ramírez de la Piscina family took over management of the winery, and in 1987, the name was changed to Bodegas Ramírez de la Piscina. The name change honors the family's historic surname, which is an ancient aristocratic Medieval Riojan name, originating from a 12th Century Romanesque church nearby the vineyards called Santa María de la Piscina. All of the vineyards are estate owned and the vast majority of the plantings are Tempranillo on high density trellis. The oldest Tempranillo vineyards are head trained, and the family owns a few small plants of Garnacha, Viura, and Malvasia, that are used for the Rosado and Blanco. Ramirez de la Piscina champions the tradition of ageing classified, traditional styled Rioja.
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand- Reg $29.99 10% off during tasting
Founded in 1985, Cloudy Bay was one of the first five wineries to be established in New Zealand. Since then, innovation, meticulous attention to detail and regional expression have been the guiding principles of Cloudy Bay, committed to producing wines that enhance the pure flavors and stunning vibrancy naturally afforded by the climate and soils of Marlborough.
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc succeeded in drawing New Zealand on the wine map and establishing the Marlborough wine region globally. This iconic wine is fresh, vibrant and aromatic.
Staint Cosme Cotes Du Rhone, France- Reg $17.99 10% off during tasting
Be warned – this is a stellar vintage, the greatest since the extraordinary 2010. Of course, 2016 is great too, and even 2015, which in Saint Cosme was memorable. But there is a freshness, an intensity, an evanescence, something undefinable that is charming and vibrant in the 2019s. A wine with a substantial structure, it is also brimming with fruit and shows great concentration, counterbalanced by the finest freshness. Unique for the Southern Rhone, this is 100% Syrah with lots of depth for a modest price. It’s classic Rhone Syrah with aromas of violets, olives and black fruits and lots of complexity. Delicious on its own and will complement a wide range of foods.
Fragrances of violet and sandalwood with tell-tale garrigue layered on top of Syrah’s typical black pepper, black olive, and dark-berry aromas. The palate is medium bodied with supple tannins and a bit more blueberry and blackberry notes. The finish is surprisingly long and rewarding. This is as good as Syrah gets under $20! A fantastic value!
Pair this with Moroccan tagine chicken to compliment the spice!
Murphy Goode Cabernet, California- Reg $13.99 10% off during tasting
This deep ruby colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Murphy Goode opens with some nice aromas of black cherry, black raspberry, red plum, cedar, black pepper and vanilla with a hint of heat on the nose. On the palate, it is medium bodied with a dry, yet silky mouthfeel. The flavor profile is a blend of red and dark juicy berries with notes of red cherry and blueberry. This is a tasty quaffer that will be a crowd pleaser.
