Stop in this Saturday, November 22nd, to sample 4 wines perfect for your Thanksgiving dinner!
Sampling Selection #1:     
2022 Chateau Tanunda Grand Barossa Dry Riesling
$16.99 on sale

Australia's Barossa Valley is a hot spot of excellent dry Riesling, and Chateau Tanunda makes one of the best we've had in a very long time!

This is extremely quaffable and refreshing with a bright line of acidity and a mineral-driven, dry finish. Every white wine drinker needs to check this out, and those of you who think all Riesling is sweet are in for a big surprise! 

Dry Riesling is an extremely versatile pick for Thanksgiving, and this one is guaranteed to please your guests.


94 Points Sam Kim, Wine Orbit:
"It's pristine and delicately expressed on the nose with green rockmelon, crunchy apple and lime peel nuances, leading to a finely flowing palate that's juicy and linear. Brilliantly fine and elegant with a sustained crisp finish. At its best: 2024 to 2034"

93 Points James Suckling:
"The vivid aromas, ranging from lime to mandarin orange and orange blossoms, are married to a generous and juicy palate that makes this very appealing. Then it turns nicely dry and very clean at the lemon and lime-zest finish. Drink now. Screw cap."

Sampling Selection #2:     
2024 Domaine Chene Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay
$24.99 on sale

Stunning White Burgundy at a remarkable price, what's not to love? This will become every Chardonnay drinker's new go-to once they try it!

Chardonnay, and more specifically, White Burgundy, has always been considered an ideal pairing with Thanksgiving dinner. Domaine Chene is a stunning value in the world of Burgundy so scoop this up while you can. 

Well-balanced flavors of orchard fruit balanced by bright acidity and a touch of oak in the finish, perfect to pair with turkey.

91 Points International Wine Report:
"The 2023 Bourgogne Chardonnay delivers aromas and flavors of yellow apples, pears and vanilla. This wine is nicely balanced with a round core that is underlined by a lovely touch of acidity to balance it out. This Chardonnay is drinking beautifully now."


-------
 
Sampling Selection #3:     
2022 Maren "Octo" Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
$24.99 on sale

The Willamette Valley in Oregon is solidified as a destination for remarkable Pinot Noir, and the team at Maren makes approachable, food-friendly wines perfect for entertaining. 

The 2022 "Octo" is a darker style of Pinot Noir that pairs well with a plethora of dishes, making this the ideal pick to have on the table.

Give this a try, and then grab a case for Turkey Day!

94 Points Jonathan Cristaldi, Cristaldi & Co:
"The label on this OCTO Pinot Noir states that it’s a medium-bodied wine bursting with cherry, blackberry, and cocoa notes—and I’m happy to confirm my tasting aligns with that. Of course, I’ll add a few flourishes: enticing cedarwood notes weave around and beneath the cherry and blackberry fruit, joined by darker forest berries framed by firm, tense tannins. The finish offers a cool, wet-slate minerality and a crunchy apple-skin aftertaste."

-------
 
Sampling Selection #4:     
2020 Carter Cellars The Daze Red Blend
$39.99 on sale

While Pinot Noir is the most classic red wine pairing with Thanksgiving fare, we all have those family members looking for bigger and bolder wines with their meal. That's where Carter Cellars comes in!

The Daze is a newer offering from Carter Cellars, and this Napa Valley red blend blew us away when we first tasted it. This is a full-bodied wine with dark red and black fruit flavors and a long warming finish. 

This is a wine to grab a case of. Not just for Thanksgiving but to enjoy throughout the holiday season. 

95 Points International Wine Report:
"The 2020 ‘The Daze’ opens to inviting aromas of dark cherries, boysenberries, crushed violets, incense, and exotic spices all taking shape. The palate is medium to full bodied and nicely balanced and structured with a wonderful combination of fruit and acidity. It goes on to display flavors of boysenberries, incense and tobacco leaf with wonderful concentration and a lovely sense of freshness though the finish. Composed of 50% Merlot, 50% Cabernet Franc."
