CUSTOMER FAVORITES Early 2023

Domain Haut Sarthes, $15:  An excellent alternative to Sauvignon Blanc - given that it is a blend of that and Semillon  from the Bordeaxu region of France.  The key notes are the Sauv Blanc but the Semillon tones down the acidity and grassiness a bit.

La Piuma Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, $14:  A excellent value Italian red.  Straighforward with a smooth full body  pepper, mocha, and spice. Full-bodied and relatively smooth, it will work for many people and meals.

Vina Robles The Arborist, $16.50:  A Syrah and Petite Sirah based blend which spends 18 months in Slovenian and American Oak that provides upfront fruit without overdoing it.

 

Calx Primitivo, $14.50:  Organic ("natural as well), lightweight and delicious - you wouln't know that Primitivo is closely related to Zin from this example. .  It's been our best selling red wine for quite some time now - enjoy it chilled as well

Dante Pinot Noir, $10.50:  How is this so cheap?  We have no idea as it is obviously Pinot, darker a bit weightier and less fruit forward than almost any other we've tried around this price from CA.  

WINE CLUB

Expand your wine horizons

Our Wine Club is a monthly or bi-monthly selection of either 3 or 6 wines with descriptions for approximately $90 (+ tax) each month.

Selections:

6 Bottles - Either 6 reds or 4 reds and 2 whites/rose.

3 Bottles - Three slightly more special bottles.

Often there is a theme to the club (geographical, type of wine, etc.), but the other months are wines we feel you'll enjoy and try to introduce something new and interesting to you.

Most people join the club because they enjoy exploring new wines and like the diversity represented.  We always try to incorporate "Hits" from our tastings in each month's selection

 

Pick Up

The wines are available for pick up the first Wednesday of the month and an email with descriptions is sent out to remind you that they're ready.

David and Elizabeth are very knowledgeable and never push the pricey stuff.  It always seems that when I'm describing a bottle to them they know what I'm talking about.  They're super fast at the counter and offer to carry a case out to the car.  Try the $1 Saturday tasting (this is after the pandemic ends) and you'll be able to try a bunch of wines in a completely pressure fee situation. The price is right at The Wine Mine.
