Wine Excites! The man who tastes & selects the wines for this list. - Frank Harris IV 6950 Fern Ave. Shreveport, LA 71105 (318) 230-7130 – frankspizzanapoletana.com WINE EXCITES! No other beverage has the ability to transport us halfway around the world; to a different continent where generations of the same family have worked the same plot of ground, on the same hillside, planted the same grape varietals and made their wines in the exact same way, for centuries. Or…to a place where a fresh outlook & new ideas merge with nature resulting in a wine that is exciting, radical & delicious. We feature a wide, ever changing array of these styles; unique wines that go with the food we cook. This list is organized in broad categories of wine color & flavor profile. Each wine has that wine’s grape varietal percentages, a brief description as well as other interesting factoids. No doubt, some names are hard to pronounce. To make ordering easier, all wine names have “key” words in bold print. I price our wines to encourage bottle sales. If you are sharing a wine with a friend or plan to enjoy more than one glass, BUY THE BOTTLE! If you don’t finish it, your server can seal it in a perfectly legal, wine doggy-bag for you to take home. FRANK’S is an exciting place to drink wine. Explore & enjoy. Frank SPARKLING Wines glass bottle SPECIAL LOUIS ROEDERER, 2008 CRISTAL CHAMPAGNE, REIMS, FRANCE 298 60% PINOT NOIR, 40% CHARDONNAY. “The 2008 Cristal is a perfect wine and Champagne simply does not get any better. This incredible wine offers a beautiful perfume of clean, crisp fruits, layers of complexity in its toasted spice and white flowers, and an utterly seamless, yet powerful style on the palate. This is a rich, decadent expression of Cristal yet it’s still crystalline and elegant, with no sensation of weight, and it just glides over the palate. Haut Couture at its finest and this majestic, profound, legendary Cristal can be drunk anytime over the coming 2-3 decades”. -100 pts Jeb Dunnuck, James Suckling & Wine Enhusiast. 98 pts. Vinous. 97 pts. Wine Spectator & Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. NEW MAJOLINI 1981, 2009 FRANCIACORTA BRUT D.O.C.G., LOMBARDY, ITALY 54 90% CHARDONNAY, 10% PINOT NERO. A sophisticated and stylish Italian Champagne-like wine with lots of exotic fruit, notes of yeast, vanilla and hay on the nose. Complete, full, charming, and persistent. The Brut is a wine with a clear personality, well-defined, but with something that is enigmatic. Enveloping, dry, and determined. - 90 pts., The Wine Enthusiast. NINO FRANCO, N.V. RUSTICO VALDOBBIADENE PROSECCO SUPERIORE D.O.C.G., VENETO, ITALY 13 36 100% GLERA. Perfect for any occasion. “This non-vintage prosecco opens with aromas of jasmine, orange blossom and white peach. The crisp, refreshing palate doles out green apple, bartlett pear & white almond with vibrant acidity and a silky mousse." - 90 pts., The Wine Enthusiast. CLETO CHIARLI, N.V. BRUT DE NOIR ROSÉ, VINO SPUMANTE, EMILIA-ROMAGNA, ITALY 13 36 85% LAMBRUSCO GRASPAROSSA & 15% PINOT NERO (PINOT NOIR) Delicate, well-structured with intense fragrances of strawberries and raspberries and a lively round taste.

Very fruity, SWEET & effervescent…all the grapes’ fragrances can be felt. Refreshing acidity. Apart from being a good companion for traditional cuisine from Emilia (rich pastas & salumi) it is also a natural accompaniment to desserts, namely rich chocolate…BUDINO!! Its’ smoothness makes it surprisingly pleasant, though avoiding excesses. Captivating. Authentic Lambrusco is made from a family of ancient indigenous varietals the Romans called “Vitis Labrusca,” a Latin phrase meaning “wild vine.” Lambrusco wines range from dry to sweet & while most are dark ruby red in color, there are also whites & rosés. All of them compliment the rich, hearty foods of Emilia-Romagna, namely rich pasta sauces like Bolognese as well as dry cured salumi & formaggi; the bubbles, light tannins & crisp acidity cleanse the palate with every sip. The sweeter ones are great with chocolate desserts.

  • Château De Trinquevedel
    CHÂTEAU DE TRINQUEVEDEL Country: France Region: Rhône Appellation(s): Tavel Producer: Guillaume Demoulin Founded: 1936 Annual Production: 10,000 cases Farming: Haute Valeur Environnementale (certified) Website: www.chateau-trinquevedel.fr Guillaume Demoulin is the fourth generation of his family to farm the beautiful vineyards of Château de Trinquevedel. His great-grandfather, Eugène, bought the eighteenth-century château in 1936—an opportune decision that coincided with the establishment of Tavel’s A.O.C that same year. However timely, the vineyards were in terrible disrepair, and Eugène had an enormous task ahead. By 1960, the grapes were finally producing wine worthy of the Demoulin’s own bottlings, and the château had at last been restored to its former glory. Louis XIV was among the first to sing the praises of Tavel’s delicious and memorable rosés, which only stands to reason given the appellation’s grand cru reputation today. Tavel is the only A.O.C. entirely made up of rosé, which prohibits any whites or reds from wearing the label of this Southern Rhône cru. No more than sixty percent of the final blend can be made up of the noble Grenache. In other appellations where rosé is made, it is often regarded as an afterthought— most of the grapes are frequently sourced from lesser parcels, as the lighter maceration of the grapes is seen as “wasting” precious juice. In Tavel, even the best parcels may contribute to the blend, yet another aspect that makes this cru so special. Guillaume, with the help of his wife, Céline, farms thirty-two hectares of vines that are situated in the hills of the Montagne Noire (Black Mountain).

  • La Spinetta's Giorgio Rivetti on What It Takes to Make Outstanding Italian Wine
    http://blogs.calgaryherald.com/2013/05/31/la-spinettas-giorgio-rivetti-on-what-it-takes-to-make-outstanding-italian-wine/?postpost=v2#content La Spinetta’s Giorgio Rivetti on what it takes to make outstanding Italian wine May 31, 2013. 12:08 pm • Section: Food and Wine Photos, courtesy, La Spinetta Giorgio Rivetti makes some of Italy’s top wines at La Spinetta. Giorgio Rivetti has been drawn to wine since he was six years old, growing up in Piedmont in Northwestern Italy, often taking a nip of what was being poured. By the time he was a teenager he was enrolled in a formal wine program. His father Giuseppe Rivetti had grown grapes and made small amounts of wine. That changed in 1977 when the Rivetti family — Giuseppe, Giorgio and his brothers Bruno and Carlo — began La Spinetta. They focused on Moscato d’Asti, a slightly bubbly, sweet dessert wine made from the Muscat grape. In 1985 they started making their first red wine, Cà di Pian, from Barbera grapes. And the growth continued. In 1995 they purchased the Gallina vineyard and began producing Nebbiolo wines in Barbaresco. In 2000 they entered the prestigious region of Barolo, building a winery at the Campè vineyard. The winery expanded beyond Piedmont in 2001 when they began producing wines in Tuscany at the Casanova winery. A Methode Champenoise winery was added to the portfolio in 2011 with the purchase of Contratto, located back in Piedmont. Despite the steady growth, the wines of La Spinetta have remained some of Italy’s best. Rivetti, 57, is a passionate and focused winemaker with a strong belief in tradition.

The landscape mingles with the vines and cereal crops – an ever-changing canvas of colour: intensely green towards the end of winter, the colour of straw at the end of spring, and deep ochre during the final months of summer. 1 All over the Alentejo there are archaeological markers suggesting that wine has Historybeen an important part of life up to the present day. Whilst it is not known exactly when wine and viticulture was introduced to the Alentejo, there is plenty of evidence that they were already part of the day-to-day life in the Alentejo by the time the Romans arrived in the south of Portugal. It is thought that the Tartessians, an ancient civilisation based in the south of the Iberian Peninsula and heirs of the Andalusian Megalithic culture, were the first to domesticate vineyards and introduce winemaking principles in the Alentejo.

    September 2020 Vol. IV, No. 3 An Exclusive Newsletter for The Vintners Club Members Lodi Vintners Notes What’s Inside From the Winemaker You Should Have Been There! Member Spotlight Featured Wines Recipe from Our Staff The Rippey Reserve Room The Vintners Club Exclusives Upcoming Events Current Wines From the Winemaker Covid-19 has changed our lives, including the wine industry. For those of you who have experienced symptoms or know someone who has, the virus is all too real. Our Tasting Room is open for tastings on the deck or around the fountain. Our team has worked hard to ensure your safety and enjoyment. August provided us with record setting hot days! This year, like last year, has been a less challenging growing season. Once again, we have a traditional start to the harvest with our first grapes arriving mid- August. This year’s harvest is yielding smaller, more flavorful grapes with juice that is deep in color and a promise of great wines. Not all grape varietals are picked at the same time. Grapes for sparkling wines are the first to be picked, usually in early August, marking the start of "crush." Next, most of the white grapes make their way from the vineyard to the crush pad. Harvest continues through late October – sometimes early November – for red varietals, as they take a bit longer to reach full maturation. Harvesting of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes begins later than most other varietals and typically lasts the longest. This year the Zinfandel vines at Lodi Vintners are heavy with fruit that is naturally flavorful.
