2021 Chateau Pegau Cotes du Rhone Lone Blanc



2021 Chateau Pegau Cotes du Rhone Lone Blanc...$19.99
40% Clairette - 30% Bourboulenc, 20% Grenache Blanc, and 10% Ugni Blanc
"A heck of white, the 2021 Côtes Du Rhône Cuvée Lone Blanc"Jeb Dunnuck
Self-confidently funky, full-bodied dry white that might remind some of high-end sauvignon blanc or others of dry riesling. Concentrated and well structured, this has plenty of drive, though not that much fruit. Long, crisp finish with plenty of spring-meadow character. Drink or hold.
Rated 92/100 James Suckling
Château Pegau is a family owned Châteauneuf-du-Pape label, owned and managed by the iconic winemaker, Laurence Féraud. The château is located in exceptional terroir, situated less than 4 miles southeast of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Named “Lône” after the small stream that runs next to the 100+ acre estate and is an offshoot of the Rhône River.

A pretty complex nose of cherries, berries, dried herbs, cola and baking spices. It’s medium-bodied with finely grained tannins. Round and juicy with a bright core of cherries and some chocolate undertones towards the finish. Balanced and delicious with a vivid finish. Drink or hold.
Rated 92/100 James Suckling

A step up, the 2020 Côtes Du Rhône Villages Cuvée Setier offers more purity and elegance, with a great nose of ripe darker, almost black fruits, pepper, leather, and herbes de Provence. This medium-bodied, pure, seamless, terrifically balanced 2020 is perfect for drinking any time over the coming 7-8 years.
Rated 91/100 Jeb Dunnuck

A cuvée offering a concentrated nose of cassis, licorice, black cherry and tar, with ripe, well-structured tannins, intense fruit, and a long, lingering finish.  A food-friendly wine that is especially good with bold, flavorful red meat preparations such as pepper-rubbed steak and lamb tagine.

It's Margarita Season! Check out this Bargain Triple Sec!

 


DuBouchett Triple Sec Liqueur 1 LITER...$6.99 on sale (reg price $8.99) 
Triple sec is a popular orange-flavored, clear liqueur featured in your favorite, indulgent cocktails including cosmopolitans, mai tais, Long Island iced teas and margaritas; while a pervasive product no doubt, most recipes call for just a small amount of triple sec, thanks to its bright and bold flavor.

Like many French liqueurs, triple sec was originally designed to be a digestif, something indulgent to sip neat after dinner or with dessert, but today, it’s most often combined with popular cocktail recipes to deliver a hardy punch of citrus flavor.

This is a multi-purpose essential for any at-home bartender, at a great price!

Chardonnay Rated 99/100


"I've never tasted another Chardonnay quite like this!" - The Wine Advocate

Almost perfect Chardonnay
2021 Tan Fruit Chardonnay White Walnut Vineyard....$62.99

White Walnut is a relatively new vineyard comprising eight acres planted around 2015 in the Dundee Hills. "The genetics that produced this is rare," winemaker Jim Maresh explains, noting that the diverse clonal material in this vineyard includes 10 different heritage selections. The 2021 Chardonnay White Walnut Vineyard was fermented in oak and finished in stainless steel—the opposite of the Tank Fruit cuvée, which is also made from White Walnut fruit but fermented in stainless steel and finished in oak. Exoticism is the word I come back to again and again with this wine, which is extraordinarily expressive, singular and completely addicting. It offers very pure aromas of lemon meringue, candied peach, crème brûlée and candle smoke, with intense, honeyed undertones. The palate is satiny and sensuous, like a spatula smoothing the frosting on a cake. It has a concentrated, peachy core framed by streaks of flint, and its focused acidity drives all that exotic flavor into a hauntingly long finish. I've never tasted another Chardonnay quite like this!
Rated 99/100 The Wine Advocate
