Good Luck with the pronounciation!!
Ostatu Rioja Alavesa Blanco $14.99
White young wine made from 85% Viura and 15% Malvasia grapes which come from old vineyards (between 30 and 80 years old). ... Bodegas Ostatu is a family winery located in the heart of the Rioja Alavesa region in the town of Samaniego. ... Highly regarded for distinctive and age-worthy red wines and complex and deeply flavored white wine.
Bold, fresh cranberries and raspberries seem to pop on the palate, brought back to earth by gentle nutmeg, clove and just a hint of mushroom. The finish is inky and chocolatey, with a touch of cocoa nibs and baking spices. A classic pairing with duck.
90 points Decanter (Cuvée XI)
"A multi-vintage, multi-varietal mish-mash! From Morgan Twain-Peterson MW, it includes old-vine Zinfandel, Carignan, Petite Sirah, Mourvèdre, Alicante Bouschet and Barbera, made in a solera. Juicy red fruit, fresh acidity, dusty tannins and grippy complexity."
K&L Notes: The Whole Shebang! is inspired by the Bedrock Vineyard, which was founded in 1854 by business partners and then-Californians William Tecumseh Sherman and Fightin' Joe Hooker, who were trying their hand at the wine country life--until troubles back east pulled them back into government service. Later, it was replanted by Senator George Hearst. Vintner Morgan Twain-Peterson makes this field blend styled wine from 55% Zinfandel, with Carignane, Petite Sirah, Mourvedre, Alicante Bouchet, Grenache, Syrah, Barbera, and a few aromatic white varieties. Many of these sources are old vines, making this one of our best bargains in heritage-vineyard California wine. Fun fact: Originally, Shebang! was released in a petite wine jug, with a handle, to emphasize its everyday drinkability.
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon greets you with scents of lush blue fruit and memories of your grandfather’s briarwood pipe. As the flavor begins to march across your palate it leaves behind hints of sweet plums, warm cedar planks and freshly ground spices.
Every little sip leaves you comfortable, content and just feelin’ lucky.
The Beers!!
Dupont Saison 25 oz. 12.99
Dupont Brewery (in French: Brasserie Dupont) is a brewery in Tourpes (Leuze-en-Hainaut), ... However, the popularization of the Saison Dupont by their American importer in the 1980s led to great international popularity for this beer, which is a classic Belgian farmhouse ale. ...
