Staff Pick Notes

The 2018 harvest for Champagne was described as a golden year, with high quality yields, fruit and an early harvest following a difficult year in 2017. The grapes were flavor rich, fruit forward and healthy with excellent sugar levels and just the right amount of acidity to produce a balanced wine. Tasting notes highlight a rich powerful, creamy and intense offering with notes of apple, pear, citrus and brioche along with fine minerality leading to a long bright and lively finish with a touch of salinity. Pair with an old school rich seafood classic like Lobster Thermidor

Champagne

Champagne is finally getting the recognition it deserves as a brilliant food wine. For consistency and quality, turn to the big Champagne brands and you’ll never go wrong. Remember that “Non-Vintage” (NV) is not a dirty word here: NV Champagnes are blends of wines from the best growing seasons. But if you can find one, try a Champagne made by a Grower-Producer. These winemakers control every aspect of grape cultivation and vinification, from the vine to the finished bottle, which is...

Chardonnay

From Champagne to Chablis, it's hard (not to mention unpleasant) to avoid this famous white variety. During a huge popularity surge beginning in the late 1980s, Chardonnay plantings have increased dramatically -- not only in California's wine country, with which the variety is nearly synonymous, but also in Burgundy (its original, Old World home) and just about everywhere else in the winemaking world. It is a flexible, eager-to-please grape, responding well to just about anything a winemaker...
