  • Reserve Wines by the Glass Served Tableside Via Coravin
    Reserve Wines By The Glass Served Tableside via Coravin WHITES & ROSÉS ASSYRTIKO, Domaine Sigalas, Santorini, Greece, 2013 ....................................................... 11 Grown on the volcanic soils of the island of Santorini, assyrtiko is truly a pleasure to drink. Grown in a basket style with the grapes in the center to protect from the vicious winds, the wine is acid driven with loads of minerality and personality; this a wine to try is you love dry riesling or sauvignon blanc. CHARDONNAY, Cakebread, Napa Valley, California, 2012 ........................................................ 20 CHARDONNAY, Domaine Savary, Chablis, Burgundy, France, 2012 ...................................... 13.75 ROSÉ, Bellwether Wine Cellars, “Vin Gris,” Finger Lakes, New York, 2013 ...................... 13 Bellwether Wine Cellars winemaker Kris Matthewson was just called a “rockstar” in the New York Times and this wine, along with his wonderful dry riesling and pinot noir, shows why. A vin gris, or “grey wine”—a white wine made from red grapes—this is more akin to dry rose than white wine. Natural winemaking at its finest, with no unnecessary additives or intervention, Bellwether continues to be a leader of geeky winemaking in the Finger Lakes, and shows what the region can do with passionate people always pushing the boundaries. SAUVIGNON BLANC, Serge Laloue, “Cuvee Silex,” Sancerre, France, 2013 ........................... 13.75 REDS BAROLO, G.D.

  • Innovations Involved in Champagne Production
    Innovations involved in Champagne Production circa 1700 - still, unblended, low alcohol (~9%), low tannin, acidic, darkish rosé (oeil de perdrix) - mild fruity/yeasty flavor (verjus pétillant) - sold in barrels in the spring - derived from crushed grapes & made from the first three pressings today - sparkling, blended, 12.5% EtOH, - low tannin, white, delicate complex - minimally fruity, toasty flavor, - 2nd fermentation in spring, - released $18 m after production - sold bottled - derived from whole grape clusters & primarily from the first pressing Knowledge and conditions ~ 1700 - the role of yeasts and bacteria in fermentation and wine ‘diseases’ unknown; - no means of measuring the sugar content of wine (leading to variability in degree of effervescence) - no tirage - cork closures and availablity of glass bottles just appearing - extensive bottle rupture due to the glass irregularity and inability to sustain the carbon dioxide buildup - occurrence of the “Little Ice Age,” (associated with early and late frosts, and poor grape maturation) - riddling unknown; inefficient disgorging procedures Current procedures - manual harvest (aiming for low EBrix) and EtOH 9–9.5% - slow pressing of whole grape clusters - use of oak as fermentation or maturation cooperage individualistic - malolactic fermentation (reduce excess grape acidity) - maturation and clarification until spring - blending to produce the assemblage - addition of a tirage (sugar, yeast, yeast nutrients, fining agent) - second fermentation (~10 EC) - storage for at least 15

  • Near San Pietro Vernotico, a Village in Salento, One Finds the Vinicola Mediterranea Winery. Never Has a Name Been More Suitabl
    Near San Pietro Vernotico, a village in Salento, one finds the Vinicola Mediterranea winery. Never has a name been more suitable for a winery that exploits the best qualities and characteristics of the Mediterranean ecosystem. This is a zone that has a natural gift for cultivating vines, thanks to a warm sun and a sea breeze coming from the Adriatic sea, factors which create an ideal climate for wine-making. The winery was founded in 1997 by Giuseppe Marangio and Vito Epifani, both already expert in wine-making but for the first time determined to create their own business. Initially the production was exclusively loose wine which was appreciated and marketed in all of Italy. In 2000 they began to bottle their wine, Negroamaro, Soraya and Donvito to name a few, and export worldwide. Also their vine varieties are numerous, Negroamaro is the most common then there are Malvasia di Brindisi, Primitivo and others (Montepulciano, Cabernet, Sangiovese and Chardonnay), that have attained the same quality as the indigenous varieties. 98 “LAURORA” CHARDONNAY “POESIA” BIANCO SALENTO IGT “SORAYA” BIANCO SALENTO I.G.P. “LE GRAZIE” ROSATO SALENTO IGT “PAISÁ” ROSSO NEGROAMARO “ILDUCA” PRIMITIVO BIANCO SALENTO SALENTO I.G.P.
