What Are We Drinking Now? Castro Martin A20 Albariño

Sierra is having dreams of warm breezes with this Albariño. Castro Martin A20 Albariño While we endure these last few weeks of winter, I can't help but dream of the days of warm breezes and picnics in the park. When these waves of wishful thinking hit, I reach for a bottle that encapsulates the meaning of all things springtime. Lately, it has been the A2O Albariño from Castro Martin. This refreshing wine from Pontevedra, Spain, boasts aromas of juicy melon with hints of wildflowers. As you sip, you'll get notes of tangy yellow peach and rich nectarine that's rounded off [...]

What Are We Drinking Now? Jezebel

Abbie has a power due that doesn't overpower. Jezebel - White Blend & Pinot Noir Jezebel White Blend is a lovely blend of Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris. This is a crowd-pleasing, easy-drinking, crisp, light and refreshing white with just a touch of sweetness. I drank it with some salty and spicy chicken fried rice and it paired beautifully. Jezebel Pinot Noir is a high-quality and food-friendly red — a lovely Pinot out of Oregon that is light and earthy with leathery soft tannins and hints of dark cherries. I paired this wine with an Italian cauliflower crust pizza and [...]

What Are We Drinking Now? Don’t forget the Dolcetto

This is the holiday wine we wait all year for! Sottimano Bric del Salto Dolcetto d'Alba Andrea Sottimano is one of the best winemakers in Italy — full stop. We have sourced and sold his wines for 20 years, and we even have Denver-exclusive access to a couple of sleeper-beauties. One of these is his Bric del Salto Dolcetto. While Andrea is most famous for his expressions of Nebbiolo through his Barbarescos, he and his family own vineyards planted to Dolcetto and Brachetto as well. Dolcetto is not known as a particularly important wine. That said, Andrea's is simply gorgeous [...]

What Are We Drinking Now? Krasno Sparkling Rebula

Devin has a Slovenian Sparkler for your Holidays. Yes, we said "Slovenian." Krasno Sparkling Rebula Not usually mentioned when thinking of wine-producing countries, Slovenia produces some exquisite wines, including this bubbler. Give your next mimosa or spritz a little extra sparkle. This wine, from Goriška Brda (yep, that's spelled correctly), the westernmost region of Slovenia (a.k.a. "The Tuscany of Slovenia"), is made from 100% Ribolla Gialla from 10–to–25-year-old vines. It presents shy aromas of green apple, then bursts with energetic tangerine interwoven with the soft, lingering minerality of marl. To preserve viticulture in Brda, traditional know-how is passed from the [...]

A Perfection of Wine & Cheese Pairing: Beaujolais Village & Fromager D’Affinois

This is a truly memorable wine-cheese pairing! Gilles Gelin Beaujolais Village & Fromager D'Affinois Original and with Garlic & Herbs We wanted a wine and cheese pairing that would surpass your everyday wine and cheese pairing, and we hit on it with beautiful bottles of Beaujolais-Villages paired with Fromager D'Affinois. Our pals over at Marczyk Fine Foods suggested we try both the herbed and original versions of this luscious cow's milk cheese from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes...and oh how we swooned! The undeniable decadence of texture and the richness of flavor beg for an earthy, clean-finishing red; we looked to Beaujolais, which [...]
