  • Sommelier's Selection
    SOMMELIER’S SELECTION WHITE The Viognier grape is famous in Northern Rhône in the appellation of Condrieu, but Château Pesquié creates a stunning, rich and aromatic Viognier grown in Southern Rhône’s Ventoux Mountains. Balanced with a beautiful acidity, this wine pairs fantastically with seafood or fish. Aromas of apricot, pear and white flowers follow through on the palate. 750ml Château Pesquié ‘La Paradou’ Viognier, Rhône, FR 2017 58. RED The Grenache grape hails from Spain, where it is known as Garnacha, but arrived in France in the Middle Ages. Grenache flourishes in the warm climate found in Southern Rhône, where Château Pesquié over-delivers on a medium to full-bodied red wine with light tannins and notes of black pepper, black cherry and blackberry. 750ml Château Pesquié ‘La Paradou’ Grenache, Rhône, FR 2016 58. *limited quantity available BY THE GLASS BUBBLES 6oz 750ml Tawse ‘Spark’ Sparkling Riesling, Niagara, ON 2014 15. 65.

  • Champagne's Best Buy
    WINE TRENDS Champagne’s Best Buy: Non-Vintage Bruts by Ed McCarthy and Mary Ewing-Mulligan MW rue Champagne, the unique sparkling wine from the Champagne region in north- T eastern France, will never be inexpensive. It just costs too much to make. But some Champagnes are relatively well-priced and, in view of their quality, can be very good values. These wines are the non- vintage Bruts. The Champagne region is so northerly that its climate is marginal for grape grow- ing. On average, only four or five vintages each decade are warm enough for making vintage Champagne—providing grapes so ripe that they can stand alone without being blended with wines from other years (although the local weather clearly has been warmer than usual since 1989). The Champenois concluded long ago that if they wanted to stay in business, they had to combine wines from several years to com- pensate for all those vintages when the climate is poor. In the 19th century, these so- called “non-vintage” Champagnes were the only type sold. Today, 85 to 90 percent of all Champagne is still non-vintage. Most Champenois find the term “non-vintage” distasteful because they believe that vintage-conscious consumers, especially Americans, might think something is wrong with non-vintage wines. Rémi Krug of Champagne Krug insists on calling his Krug Grande Cuvée a “multi-vintage” Champagne; “non-vintage” is a misnomer, he argues, since there are several vintages in his Champagne. Nonetheless, the cumber- some term “multi-vintage” has not caught on. But you will never see the words “non- vintage” on a non-vintage Champagne, either; what you’ll sometimes see is the word “Classic,” such as in “Deutz Classic Brut.” Champagne producers themselves invariably refer to their non-vintage Bruts as “classic Bruts.” Their rationale for the term is that this type of Champagne was the orig- inal—and for many years the only— type of Champagne produced.
