WINE
- white
- Alcesti | Isola Bianco, Scicily
- Very light white blend with light minerality, supporting medium fruit.
- Pouilly-Fuisse | Old-VineChardonnay, France
- Light and toasted with a bit of roasted apple on the nose. Slight butter familiar to wines of the varietal. Fruit of plum and green apple balanced with a pleasant flinty minerality.
- Serantello | Albariño, Spain
- A delicate wine for either a salad or scallops. This wine exhibits the more mellow notes of yellow fruits. Enjoy this wine with Salmon.
- J. Mourat Blanc | Chardonnay/Chenin Blanc
- A soft, lithe, complex beauty. Medium body and fruit. (biodynamic)
- Siegler | Pinot Blanc, Alsace
- Medium body and fruit. Silky mouth feel. Spicy finish. Perfect with our Fried Chicken.
- Oveja Negra | Chardonnay-Viognier, Chile
- Well-bodied, silky blend that will appeal to those who like less assertive Chardonnays. The Viognier gives this wine a lighter feel on the palate but also contributes to a more complex flavor profile adding softer yellow fruit notes.
- Charles Krug | Sauvignon Blanc, California
- Piña Colada on the nose and sunny fruit on the palate. .A smooth, quietly rich S.B. from the one of the oldest wineries in California.
- Dr. Loosen | Riesling, Germany
- All floral and honey on the nose, this is leaning more towards sweet than dry. However, its charm is its elegant entrance and clean, citrusy, graceful exit. The bottle beckons.
- red
- Gruet | Pinot Noir, New Mexico ’07
- It has everything the ‘06 had but more of it. Smooth, creamy, smoky and all surrounding the subtle cherry fruit. It will linger briefly on the palate showing strawberry, pepper and bit of leather.
- Chateau Greysac | Bordeaux Blend, France
- Cinnamon, mint, and leather predominate the nose of this simple beauty. You may even catch a hint of roast beef and carrots. Once on the palate, the derivative cherry and chalky structure dance smoothly through a rustic, smoky essence finishing warm with a notion of minty spice.
- Renwood | Zinfandel, CA
- Rendered from Old-Vine growth and absolutely mouth-watering because of it, this is a smooth and supple wine yet rich. Roasted prune and dark cherry are boastfully present and are well supported by the dark chocolate structure complemented by a slight cayenne pepper spice on the finish.
- El Chaparral | Garnacha, Spain
- This wine begins with very subtle blackberry astride vegetal notions of fresh herbs and Juniper. As this wine opens, its creaminess emerges underlying a spicy fruit reminiscent of mild chutney and berries.
- Rock & Vine | Cab. Sauv. Blend, CA
- This blend, which includes a smidge of Malbec, shows grass and mineral on the nose, with a quiet nudge of banana. While lithe, the balanced acidity, spice and silky cherry and blackberry have this wine burning brightly and finishing with such residual notions of its fruit as to press one on to the next sip.
- Tierra Divina | Malbec, Argentina
- At first whiff, a rich Cherry Butter nuance sits astride a hay-like complement. On the palate, the structure of the wine is detected first as an astringent cherry cordial but this soon gives way to the afterglow of dark chocolate lingering at the back of the tongue along with a smooth presence of the more red plum and ripe cherry aspects. Grown Sustainably.
- Runaway | Merlot, CA
- This Central California Coast Merlot brings you a scent of the cloves ala minced-meat pie followed by very subdued mint and Eucalyptus under a healthy presence of deep cherry. Once the wine is free to roam about your palate, it becomes a lingering, seductive, juicy suitor that you can’t help but drink more of. Smoky, cherry fruit coats the tongue and finishes bright and spicy.
- The Rascal | Shiraz, Australia
- A very self-aware Shiraz that exhibits earthy attributes manifesting in tobacco and mineral bluntly countered by forceful cherry and ripe strawberry jam that linger long and thick on the tongue ending in brief acidic but pleasant pinch.
- virginia whites
- Chester Gap Cellars | Viognier
- Slight spice on the nose, this is a grassy and soft rendering of the grape. It shows some attributes that could be attached to a French Viognier (the pepper and spice come to mind) but this is all lean, Virginian Viognier.
- Lovingston | Petit Manseng
- Light and lively, this wine can be classified as half-trocken or semi-dry though it leans initially towards sweet. At first it may seem Riesling-like but soon gives itself away as something more alluring and complex.
- Linden “Avenius” | Sauvignon Blanc
- Grassy on the nose with a notion of Old-world minerality of Sancerre. This wine plays more heavily towards the softer fruit on the palate. This wine gives the palate apple, blueberry and slight hint of cranberry before finishing with a quickly waning apricot note.
- Gabrielle Rausse | Pinot Grigio
- A round, even-tempered rendering of this grape in Virginia soil. Unoaked, this wine leaves impressions of summer and yellow fruit.
- Linden “Hardscrabble” | Chardonnay
- Butter and hint of popcorn on the nose, this wine is lithe and beautifully rendered, supple and seductive. It has fruit presenting as apple, pear and raspberry. Its finish leaves you with only the slightest resonance of acidic berry fruit.
- virginia reds
- White Hall Vineyards | Touriga
- The Champs should be ashamed having a wine on their list so approachable and inviting. It is at once sweet and acidic giving this a pleasure for the palate from both sides of the fence.
- Pollack | Meritage (Bordeaux Blend)
- This wine has all the structure (minerality and dark chocolate) of a Bordeaux and most of the fruit that one would expect. However, the treat comes in its complexity as it opens to the air and warms in the glass. Giving glimpses of clove, cinnamon and pepper.
