STILL WINE
Still wine is made from either just one grape variety (a single-varietal wine) or from a combination of approximately 1,000 grape varieties suitable for wine production. A versatile drink that can be consumed on its own, with food or even in cocktails.
PRODUCTION
Wine is produced from grapes belonging to the vitis vinifera family. The grapes are picked, fermented and then aged – either in stainless steel tanks or in oak casks, the latter imparting extra flavours into wine. Grapes can be grown, and wine made, almost anywhere in the world and there are many different styles, from dry red wines from France to aromatic white wines from New Zealand and sweet wines from Cyprus.
STYLES
Red and rosé wines are made from red grapes, with the colour of a wine being determined by the amount of colour that is extracted from the skin when the grapes are pressed. White wines are made predominantly from white grapes. Grapes have natural sugars and whether they remain after the fermentation process will determine whether the wine is dry, sweet, or somewhere in between.

Ageing: one year in barriques from Allier and one year in oak casks still from Allier (2000 lt). After a soft clarification, the wine is bottled for a further period of maturation in

Shelf-life: The wine will reach its peak 6-8 years after the harvest, but its life can vary considerably depending on the vintage
Alexander Valley is a long, narrow valley that runs from north to south. While the southern part is cooler due to the fog still penetrating there, the northern part has a reliably warm climate, which is particularly suitable for the cultivation of this late maturing grape variety.
The soils have a great variety, from red volcanic soils to the east, to alluvial soils at the bottom of the valley, to rock-ridden clay soils to the west.
This cuvée is made up of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc grape varieties. After harvesting and fermentation, the Director’s Cut Cabernet Sauvignon was aged for 12 months in French oak barriques.
The Russian River Valley climate is defined by a regular intrusion of cooling fog from the Pacific Ocean a few miles to the west. Much like the tide, the fog ebbs and flows, arriving each evening, cooling the area down from its daytime temperatures by as much as 35 to 40 degrees. This natural air conditioning provides for an extended growing season where the grapes mature slowly for optimal development and maintain a good level of natural acidity. The Russian River Valley’s loam and alluvial soil compositions create a very rich and fragrant Pinot Noir that offers pronounced floral notes and a distinct earthy character.
Made with fruit grown entirely in the Dry Creek Valley appellation, where the combination of climate and location produces excellent Zinfandel fruit with intensely concentrated flavor. Half of the fruit was crushed whole, and the must (seeds and skins) was fermented in open-top fermentors for maximum color extraction and flavor enhancement.
Our Zinfandel is unique in that it’s blended with one of our favorite selections of Petite Sirah. Even though the Zinfandel from this terrific vintage showed great complexity on its own, we added Petite Sirah to enhance the structure of the wine. A combination of French and American oak enhanced the fruit’s spice qualities, giving the wine some shoulders as well.

This wine is showing exceptionally well in this classic vintage. The 2016 Guidalberto (Cabernet Sauvignon and a smaller percentage of Merlot) opens to a full and generous bouquet and a beautifully rich and velvety appearance. This edition of Tenuta San Guido’s mid-level wine offers a bigger aromatic profile, more texture and more volume as well. Dark cherry and blackberry segue to spice, tar, leather and sweet fruit at the end. The mouthfeel is elegantly shaped, silky and nuanced. This may well be the best vintage of Guidalberto I have yet to taste—and you can get this wine at a great price too.
This is extremely perfumed with aromas of lavender, cinnamon, blackberries, bark and blackcurrants. Full-bodied, extremely refined and polished. Gorgeous fruit and balance. Best ever bottling of this pretty wine from the producers of Sassicaia?
Dark red color with garnet reflections. Fine and round nose of cherry and plum with a hint of violet and some toasted notes. The mouth is endowed with a beautiful intensity, the wine is fleshy and ample with a beautiful aromatic persistence that leaves in the mouth some spicy notes of cinnamon
It has lovely pale yellow brilliant, slight nose with notes of white flowers, vanilla and relayed by several smoke buttons. An attack floral and round mouth that reveals a certain sweetness and light oak. The dominant mineral remains. Enjoy it on trout fillets with almonds, salmon en papillote or veal stew and small new vegetables.
Jean Bouchard’s Bourgogne Chardonnay is produced from grapes selected from selected Denomination of Origin (AOC) Bourgogne grapes, mainly from the communes of Saône-et-Loire, Yonne, and Côte de Beaune.
Straw yellow color with silver highlights. A fresh and fruity character with stone fruit aromas such as peach and plum. Soft and balanced in the mouth, with a long aftertaste with notes of limestone minerality. Best at 3-5 years from the harvest.

Drouhin have vineyards that entitle them to make nearly every one of the 101 Burgundy appellations, which few other family-run quality negociants can boast. Their quality in each is the focal point of every element of the production of wines and, using only organic and bio-dynamic practices since the 1970s, they reach their own exacting standards vintage after vintage. This blend of some of the best villages in the Cote de Beaune is a delicious wine that shows why the village wines can achieve such attention and have such a wealth of historical respect. The wine is supple but structured and complex yet approachable and is a very fine example of ‘what all the fuss is about’ without having to break the bank. A fine introduction but a choice for the connoisseur.
THE WINE ADVOCATE Rating (91 – 93)
“Aromas of orange rind, red berries, plums, rose petals and raw cocoa preface the Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Prieur, a medium to full-bodied, layered and elegantly enveloping wine that’s lively and refined, with a bright core of fruit and a sapid, mineral finish.” – William Kelley

Kidonitsa Aslanis Winery might not come from Laconia but from Michaniona, but that does not stop it from being a typical version of the variety, expressive and extremely enjoyable.
Aslani Winery is a family business since every member of the family has its position and role from production to marketing and accounting. The privately owned vineyards of the estate are spread on a beautiful piece of land, in Nea Michaniona, Thessaloniki and are organically cultivated. Laskaris’s (the father of the family) passion is hidden in every wine of the estate and Kidonitsa is one of his new great loves. The perfect ripening of the grapes is followed by careful vinification with short extraction and maturation with the lees contact for a few months. This is the reason for the expressiveness of the wine and the purity of the fruit that characterizes it.
