Langlois Cadence Extra Brut 2017

Loire Valley

October 16, 2024 - Grapes are hand harvested at perfect maturity to explore the full complexity of the Chenin’s aromas while keeping its freshness. Langlois' requirements are beyond the appellation standards: Light pressing in pneumatic presses, and aged for a minimum of five years on the lees, compared with 12 months for typical Crémant (and 15 months for Champagne).

Marietta Cellars Old Vine Red Lot 74

California, United States

September 30, 2024 - Affectionately known as "OVR," Marietta's Old Vine Red is a proprietary red wine made to replicate the field blends of the old vineyards in Sonoma and Mendocino counties. A groundbreaking combination of varietals and multiple vintages first produced in 1982, this wine has blazed the path for red blends for decades. With an historic underground following, it is one of the longest lasting and best known red blends produced today. Predominantly comprised of fresh, young Zinfandel, OVR gets its backbone from Petite Sirah with about three years of age in neutral barrel, and its savory component from Syrah with about two years of age in neutral barrel. Occasionally, other varieties like Merlot, Barbera, Carignan, or Grenache will be blended in to complement the other elements. The goal is always to create an enjoyable table wine made with integrity that combines pure fruit, a supple mouth feel and a rich, solid structure.

Champagne Bollinger La Grande Année Rosé 2015

Champagne, France

September 25, 2024 - Lily Bollinger agreed to a Bollinger rosé under one condition, it had to be extraordinary, and that is how La Grande Année Rosé was born. A blend like no other, the wine is as an extension to the House's prestige cuvée, La Grande Année, as is the subtle marriage between this great vintage Champagne and the addition of red wine from a unique plot, the legendary Côte aux Enfants.

Wine Spectator - September 25, 2024 "Like a racing spinnaker, this is tightly trimmed yet voluminous in character. Toasty notes of roasted almond and vanilla wafer are deftly integrated with sun-dried black cherry, baked peach, blood…
