In the following pages is a selection of wines from around the world, listed from north to south, that we hope you find engaging and intriguing. We represent both those styles of wine which seem to be in most demand (Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, Châteauneuf-du-Pape), and those that are our own particular favorites (Young and old Bordeaux, Spanish Reds, Alsatian Whites and German Riesling). The persistent focus is on wines which best complement our ethic and cuisine, with elegant structures, captivating aromas and flavors rich with earth and spice. We have truly committed to variety and accessibility, and we urge you to take advantage of the depth we offer in our selections. Because Black Cat Farm is certified Organic, we feature natural, Organic and Biodynamic wines whenever possible. Look for a to find Organic wines [a (p) denotes practicing, not certified] Look for a B to find Biodynamic wines [a (p) denotes practicing] So take the plunge. Be adventurous. Try your borscht with orange wine from Italy, enjoy your lamb with Tempranillo from Rioja, have your pork with Carignan from Chile and absolutely order anything with Grower Champagne. But most importantly, drink what you love. “Burgundy makes you think of silly things; Bordeaux makes you talk of them and Champagne makes you do them.” - Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin 3 Colorado Home Sweet Home! With over 100 wineries in Colorado, and two American Viticultural Areas (AVA), Grand Valley AVA located in Palisade, and West Elks AVA in Paonia, Colorad0 is on the fast track to becoming one of the great and timeless wine regions of the United States.

Created on the northern-most edge of viticulture, Champagne is one of the few wines blended across multiple vintages to ensure a consistent style with familiar flavors year after year. Below, you will find primarily grower Champagne, which is made only by farmers who own their own vines. Not only do we admire their ‘farm to bottle’ attitude, but they also produce some of the most expressive, exciting bottles of wine available.

Inspired by fresh and steely Chablis, lush and fruity Mâcon and mind-bendingly complex Côte de Beaune, vignerons have planted Chardonnay around the globe — but somehow nothing compares to the original. Whether you drink it with seafood, duck or just a straw, white Burgundy never disappoints.

With world-class expressions of Chenin Blanc from Vouvray as well as Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, the Loire is also home to winemakers on the cutting edge of the organic and biodynamic movement. If you’re looking for crisp, mineral-driven whites with fresh citrus flavors and mouth-watering acidity, you just found heaven. 2013 Eric Morgat, Savennières. ‘Fides’ Chenin Blanc B 126 2014 Nicolas Joly, Savennières. ‘Clos de la Coulee de Serrant’ Chenin Blanc B 234 2015 Nicolas Joly, Savennières. ‘Roche aux Moines Clos de la Bergerie’ Chenin B 168 1990 Domaine Huet, Vouvray. ‘Le Haut Lieu’ Moelleux Chenin Blanc B 282 2005 Domaine Huet, Vouvray. ‘Le Haut Lieu’ Moelleux Chenin Blanc [375 ml] B 75 2015 Champalou, Vouvray. ‘Le Portail’ Chenin Blanc 85 2018 Joseph Mellot, Sancerre. ‘La Chatellenie’ Sauvignon Blanc 68 2011 Didier Dagueneau, Pouilly-Fumé. ‘Blanc Fumé de Pouilly’ Sauvignon Blanc B 205 2015 Didier Dagueneau, Pouilly-Fumé. ‘Blanc Fumé de Pouilly’ Sauvignon Blanc B 207 2015 Didier Dagueneau, Pouilly-Fumé. ‘Pur Sang’ Sauvignon Blanc.

How could we not support these farm-oriented wines? This does not refer to wines with ‘farmy’ or ‘barnyard’ tastes, but rather to wines that are made by people who are as careful with the roots of their vines, and the soil they feed from, as they are with the fruit they eventually give us. ‘Organic’ wine means the grapes have not been treated with anything synthetic: no fertilizers, no pesticides, no herbicides or anything made in a lab. Pests and diseases are dealt with naturally by introducing cover crops, and predators will pick off unwanted bugs and harmful insects. ‘Biodynamic’ winemaking treats an entire farm as a single living organism. Its goal is to actually improve the health of the land and ecosystem through farming. No chemicals are used at any point, and herbal preparations are used as treatments for the soil. Every important event in the farm’s life is scheduled on a biodynamic calendar based on phases of the moon in order to fit in with the land’s life cycle.
