| Dear Caviste fans:
We've had some great events recently and this coming week is especially full. Please note our distributor tasting is scheduled for Saturday next week.
This Thursday, February 22, the kitchen has designed a delicious menu reminiscent of an Italian Trattoria. This is a more casual format and includes two glasses of wine (more are certainly available) and will give a fun and lively evening to pair wine and food.
Friday we will have the owner of Stork wines in the store pouring four delicious French wines from his portfolio. This is a great chance to taste some delicious Burgundy as well as a champagne and an orange wine - what a selection!
And, end the week Satruday evening with a delicious Italian wine tasting hosted by Anna of Piedmont Wine Imports. She will be pouring some of their consistent favorites that have just returned - can you say "cerasuolo"?
Finally, would you like to drink Chassagne Montrachet at Bourgogne prices? We have just the wine for you having just received a couple of cases of delicious white burgundy from Jean-Marc Pillot. We consistently sell out of his smaller production reds but love this Bourgogne blanc for how much Chassagne-Montrachet character it has. It is drinking exquisitely just now, see below for more details.

"Le Haut des Champs" Bourgogne Blanc 2021
Always a delightful surprise to find Chassagne-Montrachet quality at a great price point. The grapes are from the southeastern end of Chassagne-Montrachet. Like the more expensive bottling from this region, this bottling shares the broad shoulders and dense texture of the Chassagne style with a honeyed citrus core that almost tips rich but maintains its elegance. Bottled twelve months after the harvest, this wine establishes the base-line for the generous, open style adopted by Jean-Marc Pillot for all of his wines. Honeyed, dried citrus peel, lemon curd, age-able for years to come. We have the 2021 vintage. $42
