With the currently chilly weather this is the wine to warm you up!

Costers del Priorat Pissares 2019

This is a classically bold and warming concentrated Priorat wine. It has ripe fruit, memories of the Mediterranean brushwood and a sharp, cold note which is the characteristic mark of the llicorella slate soils’ extreme minerality. Finishes with firm tannins. 

Pairs well with red meats and hearty stews!

Danny says “Drink this!”

Remelluri Reserva, Rioja - 2015

“This a rich, full body, juicy wine. Drink this with your next steak.”
-Danny

Remelluri makes concentrated, structured Rioja reds from all estate fruit. With its sweet nose of black cherries and cassis, this velvety reserve bottling is well-balanced and offers great length. This is a wine with great aging potential. An excellent match with steak or rack of lamb.

Richard says “Drink this!”

2010 Domaine Marquis d’Angerville Volnay Les Caillerets

“This wine changed my life”

Good medium red. Knockout nose melds raspberry, minerals and flowers complicated by smoky soil tones. Sappy, intense and vibrant yet silky too, with an exhilarating rose petal quality to its red berry and mineral flavors; really captures the inner-mouth tension and precision of the vintage. Finishes with superb horizontal tannins and outstanding mounting length. Impeccably balanced from start to finish.

Donny says “Drink this!”

Albert Boxler CRÉMANT D’ALSACE BRUT

“Lean and mean. Great acid. Drink it with everything!”
-Donny

This is a beautifully crafted sparkling wine made from a blend of Auxerrois, Pinot Blanc and Pinot from organically farmed vineyards in Alsace. 

This sparkling wine, from a fervent ambassador of long-standing local tradition, is produced in the méthode champenoise before being aged for two years to reveal a pristine representation of both terroir and generations of savoir-faire. Fine bead, elegant bouquet, and stimulating minerality.
