Neal Rosenthal Wine Tasting!!

With John Paine of Rosenthal Wine Merchants

The Wine and Cheese Place - Tasting Bar

7435 Forsyth, Clayton MO 63105

Wednesday May 3 from 5pm-7pm

Open house wine tasting - please join us and tell your friends....

We will have some cheese to go along with the tasting too -- of course!

Reservations not required  - but let us know on Facebook if you are coming and please share with your friends

There's more great wine to drink than ever, with new importers and lesser-known producers bursting on the scene, next Wednesday we will feature the wines Rosenthal Wine Merchant, who for 40 years has sought and brought in the finest examples of French and Italian wines. Never one to follow newest winemaking fads or demands for more wine from the “hot sources", Neal Rosenthal insists upon working with individual growers rather than cooperatives, negociants, and large commercial producers. All of his wines are estate-bottled and so that you get that “sense of place" in the glass, the wines are produced in as natural a manner as possible believing strongly in sustainable and organic agriculture. To showcase this philosophy, we are excited to pour some of his greatest hits, in many cases made by families he has worked with over two generations. While you'll find his label on highly sought after Burgundies and Bordeauxs, today we offer a lineup of less precious, but no less interesting wines that strike the balance between finesse and power. Please join us and Vinoteca along with John Paine, Rosenthal's Midwest man on the scene.

Here is what you will taste....

• Bisson Glera 2015, Veneto, Italy  ($19)
• Soucherie Anjou Blanc 2015, Loire Valley, France  ($19)

Founders Brewing Sumatra Brown....$10.99 / 4pk
Imperial Brown Ale Brewed with Sumatra Coffee

This bold, imperial brown ale gets its body from a team of malts including Caramel malt for sweetness, flaked barley for dense foam, a bit of Chocolate malt for its deep color and Aromatic and Munich malts to add even more depth. German and Perle hops add a touch of bitterness to balance the malty sweetness. The addition of rich Sumatra coffee takes this perfectly balanced imperial brown ale to a decadent level.
ABV: 9%

Bistra Slivovitz Plum Brandy

Bistra Slivovitz Plum Brandy...$19.99
Slivovitz is the national drink of Serbia, and plum is the national fruit.
The word "Slivovitz" is derived from Slavic words for plum. A Serbian meal usually starts or ends with plum products. The unique taste of Slivovitz comes from the plum seeds. When pressed, the seeds release amygdalin, which tastes of almonds. When sipped, the brandy's fiery start mellows, leading to a smooth clean finish.

Traditionally, Bistra Slivovitz is sipped neat, just like a cognac or any other fine brandy. It is mature enough to be drinkable with ease, particularly when it is slightly chilled.
ABV: 50%

Patricia Green Pinot Noir

2015 Patricia Green Pinot Noir Reserve...$25.99
Deep red. Expansive red berry and floral pastille scents and flavors show impressive energy and pick up a hint of smokiness as the wine opens up. Smooth and fleshy but lively as well; a late jolt of white pepper adds spicy bite. Generous but vibrant in character, finishing very long and sweet, with gentle tannins lending shape and subtle grip. This wine delivers exceptional bang for the buck.
Rated 91/100 Vinous Media


2015 Patricia Green Pinot Noir Freedom Hill...$31.99
This bottling is comprised of 91% Dijon 115 across all three blocks. The Coury and Pommard round out the blend. This wine was in barrel for a little less than a year in 13% new oak and a combination of once-five times used barrels. This has the deep pigmentation, floral aromatics, intense mid-palate sweetness and structured finishing tannins that provide the wine with enough fortitude to hold the fruit sweetness well in check. This balances at a very high level. For all the dry extract-laden fruit here there is a wealth of acidity and tannin that are actually the dominant forces in the wine and ensure that this is a focused, smart and incredibly delicious Pinot Noir. This has so much to it that it will drink well almost immediately but has an upside that is clearly well more than a decade away.
Production: 898 cases bottled.

2015 Patricia Green Pinot Noir Marine Seimentary...$35.99
Chehalem Mountains

Chehalem Mountains is one of Oregon's newest AVAs, and a sub-appellation of the existing Willamette Valley region.  While this wine falls outside of our normal winemaking pattern since it is from an assemblage of vineyards as opposed to one specific vineyard site it still retains the idea of place as important in the overall characteristics of Oregon Pinot Noir. While we have broadened that concept away from the vineyard and to the appellation the approach to bottling this wine certainly began with the same philosophical principles we apply to our vineyard designated wines.
The Marine Sedimentary bottling takes wine from selected blocks and barrels from across multiple sites. Our entire Estate Vineyard, both Pommard (The Anklebreaker Block) and Wadensvil Clone from Olenik Vineyard and Dijon 115 and Mariafeld Clone from Lia’s Vineyard created to show how the silty marine soil both drives our plants.

Perfect 100 point wines!!

2013 Verite Perfection in a bottle!

The 2013s are the pinnacle of what Vérité has produced, and probably all wines that will be better at age 25 or 35 than they are showing today, but they are simply the essence of a vineyard site, a vine and a philosophy of no compromise. -Robert Parker The Wine Advocate


We have a limited amount of these amazing wines on hand, and as it so often is our price is too low to advertise please email aaron@wineandcheeseplace.com for availability and pricing.


2013 Verite La Desir
The 2013 Le Desir represents 2,500 cases. This is the softest of the three wines in 2013, and this blend of 61% Cabernet Franc, 23% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Malbec emerges with more than half of the cuvée coming from Hillsides in Alexander Valley, 37% from Chalk Hill and the rest tiny dollops from Bennett Valley and Knights Valley. Opaque purple, like its siblings, the wine is showing incredible floral, blueberry and espresso notes, exotic Asian spices, velvety texture, a supple, multilayered mouthfeel and incredible finish, with incense and licorice. This is magnificent young wine, with a good 40-50 years of upside potential. Pierre Seillan is justifiably proud of what he has achieved, and his first vintage of Vérité was only 1998, but they go from strength to strength.
Rated 99/100 Robert Parker


2013 Verite La Joie
The 2013 La Joie, which is 46% from Knights Valley, 32% from Chalk Hill and 22% from Alexander Valley, is a blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Showing loads of graphite, cedar wood, charcoal, crème de cassis and forest floor, this may well turn out to be a 50+-year wine. It tastes like a great first-growth Pauillac and has an amazing amount of complexity and richness.
Rated 100/100 Robert Parker


2013 Verite La Muse
The 2013 La Muse, like all of the 2013s, comes about one-third from Alexander Valley vineyards, 40-plus percent from Chalk Hill, and the rest Knights Valley and Bennett Valley – all high-elevation hillside vineyards. A blend of 89% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec at 14.3% alcohol, the wine is amazingly like a great vintage of Petrus, with mulberry, black cherry, licorice, truffle and unctuous, thick, juicy fruit all present in this full-bodied masterpiece. The tannins are still present. The wine has purity and savory presence and is remarkable. The finish goes on for well past a minute. This wine would probably benefit from 5-8 years of bottle age and last 40-50 years.
Rated 100/100 Robert Parker

Avery Uncle Jacob's Stout!

Avery Uncle Jacob's Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout...$11.99 / 12oz

Batch #6
Bottled Feb 24 2017
Barrel Type and Time: Bourbon Barrels, 6 months
Malt Variety: Two-row barley, Roasted barley, Midnight wheat, Flaked oats
ABV: 14.9% 

Color: Black
Jacob Spears, our 6th Great Grand Uncle, is credited as the first distiller to label his whiskey “Bourbon.” He built his distillery in Bourbon County Kentucky in 1790 — 203 years before we began brewing. While obviously a bit too late to produce Uncle Jacob’s wash, we’ve instead created something far more complex. In his honor, we present this robust, silky smooth, full-bodied and altogether extremely American rendition of an Imperial Stout aged for 6 months in the very finest Bourbon barrels. This explains a lot about our penchant for big brews! It’s in our blood!

Tallgrass Key Lime Pie

Tallgrass Key Lime Pie...$8.49 / 6pk cans

First released in summer 2016 as an experimental draft-only release that was met with raving enthusiasm from fans, Key Lime Pie returns to the Tallgrass lineup as a summer seasonal in 6-packs of 12 oz cans. An American sour blonde ale brewed with lime peel, Key Lime Pie is true to its namesake, recalling the sweet, tart and refreshing dessert in beer form.

Style: American Sour Blonde Ale
ABV: 4.2%
Hops: Sorachi Ace
Adjuncts: Lactose, Lime Peel, Lactobacillus

Tallgrass The Grizz

Tallgrass The Grizz Imperial IPA...$7.99 / 4pk CANS
What does it mean to “Be a Grizz?” Being a Grizz means going big in everything you do. It’s a mindset, an unofficial company motto we’ve followed for years. It’s what caused us to double the amount of roasted barley and lactose used while developing Buffalo Sweat, which took it from an average test beer to our #1 brand! It’s also what inspired us to go all-in with 16 oz. cans for our year-round beers and seasonal brands when we switched from bottles in 2010, a decision that helped the brewery achieve tremendous growth.

When we decided to brew an Imperial IPA for our Explorer Series, there was only one name we could give it: The Grizz. Clawing in at 9.5% ABV, The Grizz brings big citrus hop flavors, melding grapefruit, peach and orange with hints of lemon and mango on the nose. As the juicy fruit fades, a slight alcohol presence lingers for a bit before the malty-sweetness kicks in for a clean finish.
