Hello from the Caviste

We are in full summer mode and searching out cool whites and chill able reds to enjoy during these hot days.  Two great selections are highlighted below, absolutely some of our favorites.  

We also have another delicious wine dinner lined up for next week with a few open seats, come join us for one of Winston's most delicious evenings of wine and food.

And evenings present a great opportunity for some small plates and a refreshing glass of wine or the current glass of champagne on our ever changing wine list.

Hope to see you soon!
 
We are excited to host another wine dinner with Kermit Lynch Wines and Chef Bobby's Summer Vegetarian Dinner. A taste of summer's bounty paired with a delicious selection of classic French wines. Come share a casual evening, enjoy some delicious wine and food and learn a little about various regions along the way.

Beaujolais
Is this the perfect summer wine?

Beaujolais is certainly one of the best summer wines and wine values in the market.  There is so much of Burgundy's quality wine practiced here but in a fun and vibrant style made for everyday drinking and sharing time with family and friends.  It is the wines of this region that most frequently bring a smile of enjoyment to my face.  The two producers below are at the top of my list.
Lapierre "Le Beaujolais"
 
We are thrilled to welcome back a few cases of this delicious wine from Domaine Lapierre.  Whereas his "Raisins Gaullois" is bottled in the winter, so a touch more nouveau in character whereas this wine is bottled in the Spring and has much more of a Morgon profile.  To me, Morgon wines drink like extroverted Burgundies.  As one person noted, these wines are meant to be "devoured".  I think this captures the delicious and easy drinking nature of these wines.  Always delicious and in ever increasing demand, we got a few cases allocated to us; I look forward to trying one if any are left.   $34/btl
Jean Foillard - Beaujolais-Villages
 
For this wine, Jean Foillard thought the grapes he was using were of high enough quality to make a cuvée with more complexity and a little more longevity.  So he proposed taking a little more time to produce a Beaujolais-Villages instead of a Beaujolais Nouveau. Featuring grapes from high-elevation, granite-heavy terroirs barely outside the region’s crus, this wine is silky and seductive, with notes of rose petals, red berries, and stones. With just the right amount of tannin and acidity, with lots of class, it is perfect for all summer occasions.  $28
