Wine Tasting 1-4pm Saturday, Jul 16








Your host will be Richard Zenick of Monsieur Touton.






Chapelle-St-Arnoux Vacqueyras 2009- $13.99
The 2009 Vacqueyras Chapelle St.-Arnoux (85% Grenache and 15% Syrah aged in tank) exhibits lots of fruit and a full body. Additionally, there are notes of Provencal garrigue/pepper/lavender to it. A rich, full-bodied, luscious wine, it is ideal for drinking over the next 4-5 years. The Wine Advocate, 90 points


Domaine de l'Abbaye Cote de Provence Rosé 2010- $14.99
Rich-tasting and well-crafted, with flavors of honeysuckle, red cherry and spice. Creamy and lush on the finish.


Les Rials White 2010- $8.99
This is a dry white fruity wine with floral and citrus aromas and flavors of tropical fruits. It is medium weight and refreshing. There is noticeable mouth feel due to barrel fermentation and being kept "Sur Lie" which provides for more fruit flavors and a longer aftertaste.


Les Grands Marechaux 2009- $19.99
Licorice and tar on the nose. Full-bodied, with a lovely core of fruit and silky tannins. Focused and clear. Could be best ever from here. Score range: 89-92, Wine Spectator
