The Wines!!
Corte Adami Soave $23.99
The Corte Adami estate was created in 1984 by father and son Angelo and Andrea Adami. The Adami family had cultivated vines in Soave and Valpolicella for generations, supplying grapes to some of the finest producers in the region. In 2004, however, they decided to start making their own wines and, in little more than a decade, they carved out an incredible reputation both at home and abroad for their Soave, Valpolicella and Amarone. Although 75 acres of the estate are planted ( 60 in Soave, the rest in Valpolicella), the family sells all but its very finest grapes so as to be free to make the best possible wines without concession to commercial pressures. This Soave comes from the family vineyard in the rolling hills of the historic cru of Castelcerino, long considered the perfect home for the Garganega grape; it has a rich and fragrant nose of white flowers and citrus and is harmonious on the palate with lively acidity and mineral nuances.
Gavalas Posta $19.99
Aromas of green apple, citrus and white flowers.
Medium body with medium acidity and refreshing aftertaste. Assyrtiko grapes are sourced from young planted vines younger than 30 years old from our vineyards in Megalochori, while Monemvasia grapes are sourced from Paros island. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature and maturation with fine less for 3 months.
El Jefe Grande Tempranillo, 1 L $17.99
This is an honest, solid red wine; it is deep, fresh and flexible enough to handle a wide variety of foods. Made of 100% Tempranillo, the main grape of Rioja, this is sourced from a single family estate in the northern table lands called 'La Meseta', which is farmed with sustainable and organic methods. Traditionally fermented in cement to preserve purity of fruit and fresh tannins -- look for berry, white cherry, plum, stone and mocha notes. Serve this with Spanish-inspired foods such as grilled meats, beans, sausages, cured ham or sheep's milk cheeses, or with pizza, pasta and appetizers... and enjoy the extra glass from the liter bottle!
Clos du Caillou Bouquet de Garriques, Cotes du Rhone $24.99
This wine has a beautiful red cinnabar color with red Nacarat reflections. The nose is elegant, thin, dominated by sweet spices, liquorice stick with some notes of verbena associated with plum liquor. The mouth is unctuous, voluptuous on a very elegant tannic structure dominated by raspberry liqueur with notes of garrigues flavours.
FOOD AND WINE PAIRING :
Black pudding with apple – Lamb tongue in Madeira wine sauce - Duck gizzards brochette.
