Why hello, mini-bottle of celebration! Great for a party of two (or one…I don’t judge), with all the fancy flavors but no fancy price tag. Cheers to Gruet’s Blanc de Noirs half bottle!
Searching for "half bottle"
National Chardonnay Day
It’s National Chardonnay Day…
so I’m taking a hiatus from this week’s theme to celebrate the “great white grape.” Let’s just keep this fun and simple with a few of my top favs…Cheers!
William Fevre 2014 Chablis
I don’t know. I just thought I’d give it a go…
Hall Wines 2015 Sauvignon Blanc
The weather is getting warmer, meals getting lighter, and it’s time to start talking abundantly about white wines again. Remember my story from yesterday about how I found a secret little wine shop disguised as a liquor store? Well, I went back. How could I not? Traveling, often solo, that aisle dedicated to the art of the half-bottle is like a treasure trove. And it was here that I found Hall Wines 2015 Sauvignon Blanc — a perfect spring time wine. (It even has a bunny on the label…)
Miner Wines 2014 Viognier
Walking home from work, I decided to pop into a local, boutique wine shop. I was hesitant because it looked like a run-of-the-mill liquor store from the exterior, boasting “deli sandwiches,” “fine cigars,” and — oh yeah, right — “premium wines.” But thinking about the meal for one I had waiting at home, I peaked in to see if maybe they had a little something to accompany my evening plans. I hit the hole-in-the-wall jackpot at this place. Wines from reputable winemakers big and small lined the walls. Even better, suiting my personal needs, there is a whole isle dedicated to half bottles. And so it was here that I discovered Miner Family Winery and their delectable Viognier.
