Wine Tasting at The Wine and Cheese Place Kirkwood This Saturday

Stop by TWCP Kirkwood on Saturday, December 14th from 3-5pm. 
 
Schramsberg Mirabelle Brut...$31.99
Mirabelle Brut resembles some of its French cousins with its elegant, toasty aroma which leads into crisp and complex flavors on the palate. It is impossible to mistake Mirabelle's Northern California heritage - the freshness mid-palate continues through to the finish. Mirabelle Brut is a unique blend of hand-harvested bunches of Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino county Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Mirabelle pairs well with shellfish, light appetizers or hearty, vegetable-based soups.
2023 Theodore Rex Chardonnay...$29.99
Santa Barbara’s cool 2023 growing season produced exceptional Chardonnays. The wines are especially perfumed, with great fruit concentration. Rounded out by a kiss of French oak, the wine gains mid-palate weight before finishing crisp, once again showing it’s cool origins. This is a superb Chardonnay designed to enjoy with many different foods, but it’s really easy to drink by itself." - Adam Lee, winemaker
2023 Theodore Rex Pinot Noir...$31.99
The cool 2023 vintage provided the perfect conditions for outstanding Pinot Noir. The wine shows the complexity that accompanies a longer growing season, with concentrated red fruits and pitch-perfect acidity. A kiss of new French oak on the finish rounds out the wine - allowing it to be drunk by itself at the end of the day, or paired with a wide variety of medium bodied foods.

Theodore Rex wines are made by Siduri Founder Adam Lee and selected by The Wine & Cheese Place and Olive + Oak. They are available exclusively at The Wine & Cheese Place, Spirit Wine & Craft and O + O Hospitality restaurants. A portion of proceeds benefit the Ollie Hinkle Heart Foundation.

2014 Bollinger Champagne La Grande Annee



MAGNUM of great vintage of Champagne
2014 Bollinger Champagne La Grande Annee....$399.98 / 1.5 liter

The 2014 La Grande Année is stunning. In fact, it is one of the best recent editions I can remember tasting. What comes through most is the wine’s sizzling energy and tension, qualities that aren’t often associated with Bollinger, where the Champagnes tend to show more breadth and volume. In 2014, readers will find a Grande Anee built on linear intensity and drive. The 2014 is a blend taken from 19 villages, 61% Pinot Noir and 39% Chardonnay, instead of the more typical 70/30 mix. For the second time in two decades (the first was 2007), Verzenay takes the lead in the Pinots of Aÿ, more or less an inverse from the norm. That, married with Chardonnays mostly from the Cotes des Blancs (predominately Chouilly, Vertus, Oiry, and Cramant), results in a truly magical Grande Année that will delight Champagne fans for several decades. I can’t recommend the 2014 highly enough. It’s a total knock-out
Rated 98/100 Vinous Media
Racy acidity drives this mouthwatering Champagne, enlivening the rich panoply of flavors. Features a fine and creamy mousse that's still a lively springboard for aromas and flavors of crème de cassis, glazed tangerine, roasted hazelnut, ground coffee, pickled ginger and white blossoms. Long and satiny, with minerally salt and chalk notes gaining momentum on the lasting finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Disgorged July 2021. Drink now through 2037. 1,500 cases imported.
Rated 97/100 The Wine Spectator
The 2014 Champagne La Grande Annee Brut is 61% Pinot Noir and the rest Chardonnay, with 7 grams per liter dosage, and sees more fruit coming from Verzenay. I loved this wine last year, and it did not disappoint at this tasting either. Perfumed and mineral-tinged notes of saline and lemon custard lift from the glass, and it’s medium to full bodied on the palate, taking on a more focused and linear feel while remaining quite powerful, with salty minerality. I love the tension this brings, with a long, persistent spine of acidity, and it’s aging at a very slow rate. Drink 2024-2044. Disgorged in February 2023.

2016 Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes



Considered by many to be the greatest dessert wine made!
2016 Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes....$269.99 / 375ml
With 135 grams of residual sugar, the 2016 d'Yquem has turned out brilliantly in bottle, exhibiting a precise, harmonic, deep bouquet with aromas of mango, lychee, jasmine, exotic fruits, dry apricot and menthol. It’s moderately weighted and tense with a layered yet concentrated texture and a long, vibrant finish. Racy, charming and attractively complete, it distinguishes itself from its peers with its bright acidity.
Rated 96/100 The Wine Advocate
A very classic Yquem. Breathtakingly wide spectrum of floral honey, exotic fruit (passion fruit, mango and pineapple), caramel and marzipan aromas. But none of this is a jot too much. In fact, the wine is extremely precise and finely nuanced. Wonderful freshness and textural complexity, in spite of the considerable concentration and extravagance. Very suave and sensual finish that goes on and on. Drink or hold.

Limited Release RD One 10 Year Finished With Brazilian Amburana Wood

ONLY ONE BOTTLE IN STOCK NOW
RD One 10 Year Amburana Finished...$299.99 / 750ml
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Finished With Brazilian Amburana Wood

117.78 proof | 58.89% ALC/VOL
Aged 10+ years

The Craft: Legacy Kentucky
Crafted by a legacy Kentucky distillery, this Kentucky Straight Bourbon aged for more than 10 years before being introduced to Amburana Wood staves. The finishing time - intentionally less than that of our four-year Amburana Bourbon - brought out the best of the decade-old Bourbon and the Brazilian oak. This beautiful mingling resulted in a well balanced, complex masterpiece, worthy of its allocation.

The Packaging: Bold Sophistication
RD1's iconic bottle honors the first federally registered distillery in Lexington and the many brands it produced, while turning the page to modern-day design. The beautiful Ashland Distillery tree, the glass lettering, the concave bottle shape, Lexington’s horse farm fencing etched around the base, the striking black/gold label for the Limited Release...this packaging bridges history and innovation.

The Experience: Maturity with Penache
The flavors from the depths of the rickhouse are brightened by the dynamic yet delicate Amburana character that draws you in further. On the nose, spiced apple and honey come alive. Upon sipping, allspice mixes with oak and black pepper notes, later transcending into a warm caramel sweetness with hints of ripe peach and baked fruit. Notes of aged oak, tobacco, leather and apple linger with whispers of earth and anise.

If traditional tasting notes aren’t your style, you may…

See – That pour on the bourbon list you must try
Smell – Holidays at grandma’s house
Taste – An exquisite cigar with a sophisticated sweetness
Feel – Like you’re exploring Kentucky’s old rickhouse halls

#4 Wine of the Year from The Wine Spectator 2024
MAGNUM bottles
2021 Faust Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon....$125.99 / 1.5 liter

Packed and broad in feel, with a ganache note draped over black currant, blackberry and steeped cherry. Licorice root and alder smoke flavors check in on the finish as the fruit pumps through, ending with a flash of violet. Hard to resist now, but this has some development ahead. Drink now through 2036.
Rated 94/100 The Wine Spectator
Inviting aromas of ripe blackcurrants and blackberries as well as crushed walnuts, cedar and bark. Full-bodied, creamy and structured with firm, polished tannins. Balanced and even with a lingering finish. Better after 2026.
