Ultimate Thanksgiving Case
Need that awesome Thanksgiving case, but don't want to think too hard about what goes well with turkey? We've cracked the code for you! Each bottle is an excellent pairing for the Thanksgiving feast....
Reserve yours today, our Thanksgiving cases sell out fast!
They'll be ready for pick-up in store on November 20th.
Here are the details:
Bubbly Rose - Perelada Cava
sparkling Garnaxta, Pinot Noir, Trepat, Spain
This wine was the favorite of… Salvador Dali!
Bubbly Champagne - Le Mesnil Champagne- France
A half bottle of *Grand Cru* Champagne for you! This is the perfect excuse to abscond to the living room if the Thanksgiving conversation gets heated.
Blanc - Cazottes ‘Marcotte’- Gaillac - France
A paradox wine-- this one makes you think. You take a sip, try to pin it down, and are confronted with a completely different sip! Made from grapes indigenous to central France (Lion & Mauzac), this wine is highly aromatic and unique. The intense aromas smell of fresh-cut pears and herbs, and has a density and richness to it. It’s unfiltered, so if you notice a haze, fear not— that’s normal.
Blanc- Afton - Afton, Virginia
This wine is one of our favorite local Chardonnays from one of Virginia’s oldest wineries. it’s on the lean, zesty side, and isn’t heavy with oak. It’s the perfect pick-me-up or palate cleanser, mid-way through an intense Thanksgiving meal.
Blanc - Plano Assyrtiko - Austria
You infrequently find Greece’s noble Assyrtiko grape planted on the mainland. It’s usually found on the Cyclades islands. But when you do drink ‘off-island,’ make sure it’s Assyrtiko that was voted “The best non-island Assyrtiko in Greece,” like this one... Assyrtiko is zesty and bold, with a lush minerality. It may seem like drinking an electric Meyer lemon.
Rouge – LaFont ‘Briante’ - Brouilly, Burgundy, France
Delicious Gamay from an ancient volcano in Southern Burgundy. This wine has a smokey aroma we adore.
Rouge – Boutinot Cotes du Rhone – Rhone, France
This classic southern French wine is a blend of 75% Grenache, 25% Syrah. it pairs with just about anything, and is a medium-full bodied red that will please both Pinot & Cab lovers.
Rouge - LaMotte Pinot Noir- Languedoc, France
Traditional French Pinot Noir. This wine will work as an aperitif, or with the turkey. it will bring together all the flavors on the table. This is the bright side of Pinot Noir, and may even remind you of cranberries…
Rouge - Scacciadiavoli Rosso - Montefalco, Italy
Roman Prince Ugo dreamed of this winery and finally built his dream in 1854. Today, the Rosso is a blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Sagrantino. This is a bold wine, but without the aggressive tannins.
Rouge - Vina Alberdi Reserva- Rioja, Spain
There is something utterly timeless about classic Sangiovese made in traditional methods from Rioja. Vina Alberdi uses large neutral oak casks, so you get more of the soft earthy and cherry flavors of the Tempranillo itself. This wine just might win Thanksgiving.
Rouge - Las Perdices Malbec- Argentina
Lush, bold Malbec from Argentina. Malbec is originally from Cahors in France, but Argentina's climate brings out the dark, juicy side of Malbec… This particular wine is a shop staple we can’t live without.
Fortified
Rouge –Grain de Sable ‘La Grume’-Brouilly, FR 2016
You’ll be a hero if you pull this out with the Pumpkin Pie. This silky dessert wine smells of toffee and almonds. Perfect with Thanksgiving dessert. .
Available for in-shop pick-up, starting November 20th.
Wine Club - 6-Pack
What is the Wine Club? A specially curated monthly selection of wine: 6-pack of red, white & sparkling bottles.
(if you like just one style of wine, fear not! When you check out, there are options for red only, sparkling only, etc.)
How do I get my wines?
Each month, the 6-pack will be released the first Saturday of the month, at a special Saturday Pick-Up Party. The 6-pack is available for in-shop pick-up during the Pick-Up Party. If you can't make it to the Pick-Up Party, the 6-Pack will be available to pick-up anytime during the following quarter. We can also deliver your wine (free) to the local Charlottesville area on a quarterly basis. We cannot ship at this time, but are working on it...
How do I set up my monthly Wine Club subscription?
This initial web purchase is for your first 6-pack, which will be ready for you at the next in-shop Pick-Up Party after your purchase date (Check out our Shop Calendar to see all the Pick-Up Party dates). When you pick up your first 6-pack, we'll set you up with your monthly subscription and take your delivery/pick-up preferences, too.
