NV Patrick Bottex, ‘La Cueille’ Bugey-Cerdon, Savoie, France – $21
Kir Royale in a bottle! This light, slightly sweet lavender-tinged bubbly is made from 80% Gamay (the grape of Beaujolais) and 20% Poulsard. Perfect as an aperitif with fruit or pastries.
2007 Dom. de la Courtade, l’Alycastre Rose, Provence, France – $14
From Ile de Porquerolles, a nature preserve off the coast of Provence, this light salmon-colored rose is a blend of Mourvedre, Grenache and Tibouren, an ancient Greek grape. Tasty with lox or white fish, cheese and eggs.
2006 Terra Noble Reserve Carmenere, Chile – $14
Made from Carmenere, Chile’s signature grape and Bordeaux’s forgotten ’6th varietal’. This is firm, full-bodied wine, with deep, dark fruit. Fairly traditional in style, the Terra Noble goes well with full flavored dishes, and even a little spice. Try it with breakfast burritos!
2005 Anima Negra A/N2, Mallorca, Spain – $25
This is a full-on, well balanced, tightly knit wine from the island of Mallorca. Gorgeous and muscular – it reminds us of another native Mallorcan – Rafael Nadal:-) Something for everyone – good fruit and complexity, soft tannins, dry but not too dry. Callet and Montonegro-Fogoneu are native Mallorcan grapes and the new generation of winemakers blend the old varietals with more well-known grapes. When you’re having a burger and roasted potatoes, go for this wine.
