Itâs nouveau time! This tradition hails from Beaujolais, celebrating the end of harvest and offering a first glimpse of wine to come. A short maceration of the current seasonâs fruit results in light, quaffable, low-alcohol wines, perfect with a chill. Theyâre fun, delicious, and simply irresistible. Saturday-Sunday, all day. Flight of 3 wines $16. Wine Club Members get 20% off tastings.
La SĆur Cadette Beaujolais Nouveau 2024
Jean and Catherine Montanet created Domaine de la Cadette in Burgundy in the late 80s. In 2016 after severe weather destroyed 80% of their crops, their son Valentin started La Soeur Cadetteâa âsisterâ label for fruit sourced from outside their domaine. In this case itâs superb Gamay from Beaujolais. Lively raspberry and black cherry.
Broc Cellars Nouveau 2024
A blend of rosĂ© and red wines, representing all the grapes that Berkeley-based Broc worked with in the 2024 harvest. For the first time, this yearâs nouveau has a base of Sangiovese from the Fox Hill vineyard in Mendocino along with 30 other varieties! Black cherry, minty herbal notes, bright acidity, straight-up delicious.
Scribe Nouveau 2024
A favorite nouveau, year after year. 100% Pinot Noir from the Carneros appellation of southern Sonoma County. Carbonic maceration, bright with notes of pomegranate, blood orange, and bay laurel.
Bonus: we'll be pouring the super limited EMME Nouveau of Carignan by the glass all weekend.
