Wines Sakes Spirits wines food sakes community spirits collaboration what we’re drinking right now hakkaisan clear sparkling awa Sake made using the champagne method - a secondary fermentation occurs in bottle - giving us fine bubbles and an off-dry finish. This crisp and refreshing sake is made at one of Niigata’s best breweries. el maestro sierra amontillado 12 años This bodega has some of the oldest sherry in their casks in all of Spain. It was founded in 1830. Notes of chamomile and macadamia nuts, with a subtle richness, but a dry acidity on the finish. Plays very well with savory dishes. 2018 microbio wines correcaminos blanco Each vintage that Ismael Gozalo produces is unique. Before breaking out on his own in his native Nieva, he was the winemaker at the well-known Rueda producer Ossian. Notes of melon and oregano, this wine has a crisp & creamy character that coats the palate. Verdejo is often compared to Sauvignon Blanc, but this expression achieves a texture and freshness that demonstrates the awesome potential of this native Spanish varietal. 2014 matias i torres la palma las machuqueras The Canary island of La Palma is technically part of Spain, though it sits off the coast of Morocco in the Atlantic Ocean. Listán Blanco grapes - called Palomino in Jerez, where they are used for making Sherry - get lots of sun growing on the slopes of Volcano San Antonio. The white skins are macerated with the wine during fermentation for extra structure. Very expressive stone fruit notes with great acidity. Our current orange wine of choice! 2017 la osa prieto picudo trasto tinto Winemaker Noelia de Paz (“La Osa”) works with local varietals in the Tierra de León region of Northern Spain. This expression of Prieto Picudo, the local red grape, delivers fresh fruit notes, vibrant acidity, and earthy undertones. We’ll drink her wine with pretty much anything on the menu. Just like the food, the libations we serve at PAGU celebrate makers that are responsible and sustainable. The majority of beverages are produced with native yeasts, using organic, natural or biodynamic practices. These offerings are curated by beverage director, Alex J.

  • Selected & Blended by Kermit Lynch
    SELECTED & BLENDED BY KERMIT LYNCH Country: France Region: Rhône Appellation(s): Vin de Pays de Vaucluse, Côtes du Rhône Producer: Various Farming: Lutte raisonnée Website: www.kermitlynch.com Nearly forty years of doing business in France and Italy have given Kermit Lynch a level of expertise that few in the wine industry can boast. Countless hours with growers in some of the most famous vineyards and cellars of Europe have offered more than just a casual look at what it takes to be a great grower, let alone a great winemaker. Kermit Lynch was the first to champion the benefits of unfined and unfiltered wines, long before they had become fashionable. This belief is really a matter of taste, and the proof has always been in the glass, offering a purer expression of fruit and an unadulterated reflection of the terroir. Kermit’s conviction has been so strong over the years that he has been able to persuade even the most hard-headed vignerons to test his theories. Long-term relationships with vignerons in every major wine growing region offer a tremendous array of opportunities. Every year, Kermit enjoys a creative collaboration with some growers to find the best of their selections. Together, they work towards creating a final blend that showcases the region in all its glory at a price point that is difficult to match. VIN DE PAYS DE VAUCLUSE Sourced from the terroirs around Domaine de Durban (click here for more information), the grapes for this red Rhône are sourced from parcels next to the village of Beaumes-de-Venise.

  • Addendum Regarding: the 2021 Certified Specialist of Wine Study Guide, As Published by the Society of Wine Educators
    Addendum regarding: The 2021 Certified Specialist of Wine Study Guide, as published by the Society of Wine Educators This document outlines the substantive changes to the 2021 Study Guide as compared to the 2020 version of the CSW Study Guide. All page numbers reference the 2020 version. Note: Many of our regional wine maps have been updated. The new maps are available on SWE’s blog, Wine, Wit, and Wisdom, at the following address: http://winewitandwisdomswe.com/wine-spirits- maps/swe-wine-maps-2021/ Page 15: The third paragraph under the heading “TCA” has been updated to read as follows: TCA is highly persistent. If it saturates any part of a winery’s environment (barrels, cardboard boxes, or even the winery’s walls), it can even be transferred into wines that are sealed with screw caps or artificial corks. Thankfully, recent technological breakthroughs have shown promise, and some cork producers are predicting the eradication of cork taint in the next few years. In the meantime, while most industry experts agree that the incidence of cork taint has fallen in recent years, an exact figure has not been agreed upon. Current reports of cork taint vary widely, from a low of 1% to a high of 8% of the bottles produced each year. Page 16: the entry for Geranium fault was updated to read as follows: Geranium fault: An odor resembling crushed geranium leaves (which can be overwhelming); normally caused by the metabolism of sorbic acid (derived from potassium sorbate, a preservative) via lactic acid bacteria (as used for malolactic fermentation) Page 22: the entry under the heading “clone” was updated to read as follows: In commercial viticulture, virtually all grape varieties are reproduced via vegetative propagation.

  • 2019 GRENACHE CARIGNAN — Mclaren VALE
    — 2019 GRENACHE CARIGNAN — McLAREN VALE We have long believed that blended wines are Creation nourishing to the soul. Especially now as they Based upon 80 plus year old bush vine Grenache planted into a northerly block atop of the Onkaparinga Gorge which we remind us of our pre-Covid travels, as good for blended with Carignan off our own adjacent estate. With both the mind as they are for the belly and always parcels hand harvested, fermented in traditional open vats, versatile with food. Here we have a homage to and gently basket pressed, we are looking to make a complex the Spanish wines of Priorat, merging very old wine through simple methods. We retained 90% whole-berries bush vine Grenache and spicy dry grown to slow the ferment and to give delicate lift, with the balance as whole-bunch for sappy structure. We worked those ferments Carignan. very gently to preserve freshness, but allowed long maceration to build necessary tannins and complexity. Matured in a mixture of inert tanks and old french oak puncheons to provide maturation but not oak flavour. Composition Fragrant Grenache fruit provides alluring sour cherry and spicy raspberry lift, with a serious lick of dried herbs and amaro bitters from the Carignan. A balance between red scented perfume with a core of wildness, earth, and complexity buried within. The palate is long and lithe, with a depth of fruit intensity and filed nicely back by a line of sandy tannin. Consumption Serve it coolish but not cold to preserve aromatics, this wine is BERNICE ONG +61 (0)417 087 023 perfect for warm sunny days cooking fish or meat over [email protected] charcoal, with big generous salads and slab of manchego on the table..
