Barbera Frizzante "la Verrane" 2007

By its very nature the Barbera grape is a light heart, bright and very approachable style...at least in my experience. So it's no surprise the Beras' brother-sister wine making team created this frizzante (lightly carbonated) Barbera. Classic bright sour cherry notes, very subtle earth and smokey tar on the background with light tannin and vibrant acidity make this wine fun and festive. It's a great pairing for antipasti or Saucisson Sec & German Mustard on a Baguette for a late night snack at the office.

Domaine Le Briseau, You Are So Bubbly, 2008

A combination of Cab. Sauv., Cab. Franc and Carignan, You Are So Bubbly is a wild and old school style of sparkling wine made using méthode ancestrale bottle fermentation. The result is an herbaceous expression of rose marry, sage, fresh baked biscuits and juicy red apples. To be blunt as a sledge hammer it tastes of Thanksgiving yummy goodness for all you savory heads out there. Pair this wine with chicken cordon bleu, roasted quail or pork tender loin lightly drizzled with a sage butter sauce.  


Thierry Puzelat, Touraine "In Côt We Trust" 2007

Fact: The term "Côt" is yet another term for none other than Malbec.

You don't see this term very often on wine labels and when you do it's usually on bottles from Chile. That said it was quite intriguing to be presented with a Côt from the Touraine. Generally lighter in body than its Argentine cousins, the wine has beautiful expressions of dusty cherry and funky savory notes much like a Savoie style. It's bright acidity for a wine of this character with beautiful balance makes this an exceptional wine for under $25.00

Agnès et René Mosse, Anjou Blanc, 2008

I think of Chenin Blanc as a Swiss army knife in the wine world. It makes everything from plunk box wine to the finest Savennieres ever produced. Your wish can be Chenin Blancs' command. When it comes to the Agnès et René
Mosse you're getting subtleties and quality like Savennieres from the Anjou region. The wine has just the lightest notes of chalky mineral and dry dusty honey comb with citrus, stone, silky plush body and a clean finish.
 
Cheers,
