Way back in ought two, I visited this winery in Spain and fell in love. The soil is sandy gravel, the grape variety is Verdejo and together they help to produce a dry white wine similar in style to a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Instead of a strong grapefruit flavor, the Menade has a delicate lemon blossom flavor. Perfect with all summer meals. $15.99

First hazy, hot, humid day of the year. My favorite light, dry, white wine out of the ice bucket. The sidewalk cafe wine of Rome, Frascati. $11.99. Screw cap too thankfully.

I take no credit for finding this "just in time for summer" dry red wine. A new customer asked me to get her some. I did. It's delicious Spanish Rioja from the Tempranillo grape. Serve with tacos, grilled ribs, dogs, burgers and other Mexican cuisine. Put a chill on the wine too. $14.99

One wine, three Wine Rule # 1s proven.
The Sauce is the Boss
You can't fake bottle age.
Let it breathe.
Last night for my early Father's Day meal, I opened from my cellar the 2018 vintage of Donaine Tempier. Pictured is the 2021 at $69.99. In three years the 2021 wine will be as gorgeous, in ten it will be even better.
You can't fake bottle age.
I opened the 2018 seven hours before serving. I tasted it upon opening to make sure it wasn't corked. It tastes good then, but awesome later.
Let it breathe.
The dish was beef and exotic mushrooms. The beef was that incredibly fatty and delicious A 5 Wagyu from Japan. With all the melted and glistening fat, the high acidity of the wine was a perfect counterpoint to the richness
The Sauce is the Boss.

It was a legendary pairing. So much so, I'm ordering a case of magnums of the 2021,@ $150.00 per magnum. I hope it comes in.

Need a last minute Father's Day present? My personal favorite boozes for Father's Day.
Categories are Rye, Scotch, Bourbon, Rum, Gin, Tequila, Irish whiskey, Cognac and Calvados. Prices range from $38.99 for the gin to $249.99 for the Cognac.
The Calvados is the best bang for the buck. At $79.99 you get a 20 year old whiskey made from apples in Normandy. Warning! Dad will become hooked.

Fourth of July is coming. This zippy dry white wine blend from France is perfect for drinking on the beach from a red Solo cup. It has a screw cap so very beach friendly. $14.99....ahhhh refreshing

I love-hate oxymorons. Sorta like Xmas lights on plastic palm trees in June.
Way high up in the Italian Alps is the Val d'Aosta, where they speak French, is the winemaker GrosJean(big John). There is a sub region called Torrette. The red grape from this region is Petit Rouge. The grape produces a dry red wine that is briliant-boring, and simple-complex .
When sipoed without food it's kinda simple tasting but really well made wine. Then with food, and depending what you're eating, all sorts of wonderful flavors come out. It can be fruity, spicy, earthy, floral and be a zillion other taste and flavor sensations. You go back and sip it without food and the genie goes back in the bottle. Val d'Aosta is home to some of Italy's best cheese, and this a great cheese red wine. $29.99 and no, I haven't had it with jumbo shrimp......yet

Finally over 90 Fahrenheit and 30 Celsius! Time for a selection of crisp dry white wines served right out of the ice bucket. Alphabetically, we offer German, Greek, Italian , and Spanish. I'll be trying them together for the first time tonight with my Gourmet Group of Gals and Guys. Tentative menu includes oysters on the half shell, white anchovies, baccalau, and salmon. I expect other seafood surprises. Prices range from $18-25 a bottle.

Stop me if you've heard this one before.
Two dentists walk into a bar in Naples, Italy and decide to make world class, award winning dry red wine from Taurasi. And they did it.
Taurasi is the best region for the Aglianico grape in the world. It must be treated like a Barolo and aged for years and then opened for hours to breath and "stretch its legs.". Last night I had this ten year old Taurasi with a veal steak that had been seasoned with fennel, garlic, and cinnamon. It was gorgeous. $44.99 for special occasion dinners.
The owner of the import company moonlights as a very good comedian-impersonator, hence the first line.
Rim shot!

Feedback Friday!
Posted about this fantastic Dry Riesling a couple weeks ago. Since then, we've been getting oodles of repeat orders from very happy customers. Two more notes.
One of you drank the wine over three nights and was surprised that it kept getting better! ( A sign of a great wine)
I served this at a gourmet wine and food extravaganza. I always bring twice as much as needed based on attendance. This was the first time I ever ran out of a wine! A $17.99 bottle of DRY Riesling, I could never imagine any gourmet group going crazy for a DRY Riesling.

Remember this wine from two weeks ago?
Drank it last night with friends who are not wine experts and they went bonkers for it. I just ordered over a year's supply. Only 12.5-13% alcohol, it's chillable for all summer long drinking. And I can't wait for fall root vegetable season. $19.99 a bottle.
