What We’re Loving and Why
Pick up this lovely trio and sit back and relax with RJ & Patti as we taste through each of these beauties and
suggest what light bites we’d pair.
Château l'Ermitage Auzan Blanc, Costières de Nîmes AOC, 2018
Château l'Ermitage is located in the southern French town of Saint - Gilles. Near the Mediterranean Sea and the famous Camargue Natural Park. Jérôme Castillon Owner and winemaker of the Château l'Ermitage is one of the most dynamic and talented wine producers in the Rhône Valley.
A blend of 60% Roussanne, 20% Grenache and 20% Viognier. A tasty, fruity and fresh white. Aromas of
orange blossom and a stony, flinty quality. The Viognier and Grenache Blanc add a natural richness of peach and
ripe nectarine flavors which are balanced by the fresh grapefruit and citrus characters from the Roussanne, with
a touch of mineral complexity. Languedoc, France
Simple Roasted Asparagus with Apple & Onion
Anne Amie Pinot Noir Rosé, 2019
The color is pink mixed with apricot. The nose is a mix of bright citrus and slightly husky fruit aromas, candy spice
(not sweet), cherry, lemon, melon, Anjou pear, and sour hard candy. This is a sleek, very well-balanced Rosé, this is no fruit bomb. It starts with sharp cherry, a little lemon/lime, tangerine, and ripe black cherry. The mid-palate adds nectarine,
light spice, and a slightly creamy, slightly salty sensation. The acidity lets the flavors unfold and will get you reaching for another sip sooner than you think.
Pesto Pizza with Mushrooms and Smoked Gouda
Sassoregale Sangiovese Maremma Toscana D.O.C., 2018
Its color is a bright ruby red. On the nose, it is clean and precise, with hints of morello cherries, wild berries and a moderate spiciness. On the palate it reveals a full and firm flavor, expressing all its intensity and elegance. Maremma Toscana (untamed country of Tuscany)
Pepper-Crusted Steak with Horseradish Cream on Grilled Garlic Crostini

What: Stop in to purchase the 3 wines next week!
Join us in discovering three great examples of wines from the three most important producing regions of Italy: Piemonte, Toscana and Veneto – three different wineries working with indigenous grape varietals according to the tradition.
Alice Barera is a WSET II certified wine passionate who lives in Chicago and travels across the Midwest to promote Italian wines. Born and raised in the alpine Region of Piedmont, Italy, she moved to the United States in 2016.
Cordero di Montezemolo Arneis Langhe DOC
Crisp, fresh and elegant, the perfect patio wine. Arneis is a traditional varietal from Piemonte, which was risking
extinction until a handful of producers brought it back to life! Cordero di Montezemolo is one of the most ancient
wineries of Italy, it has belonged to the same family for 19 generations, since 1340.
Fattoria Le Pupille Morellino di Scansano DOCG
Smooth, rich and easy to drink ! Morellino di Scansano is a Sangiovese-based blend from Maremma, the southernmost
part of Toscana. If you like Chianti you won’t be able to resist to this juicy red. Fattoria Le Pupille is a women-owned
and operated winery from the Southernmost part of Tuscany, they are the founders of this denomination and a
benchmark for Maremma and Super Tuscan wines.
Villalta Ripasso Superiore DOC
Ever heard of Amarone? Ripasso is often referred to as its “baby brother” and it’s great to enjoy all year around!
Made with indigenous Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes in Valpolicella, Veneto – close to Verona,
the town of Romeo and Julieth. Get ready to fall in love!
