Winter Mixed Case
Big Savings on our Winter Favorites
Every Bottle Discounted 20%!
While there hasn't been a big chill here in NYC, we have found our tastes leaning more towards hearty reds-a sure sign that we are in the winter months.
As such, it seemed appropriate to assemble a cast of our favorite winter bottles.
As usual, this winter mixed case represents the BEST DEAL on these wines: a stellar cast of bottles, discounted 20%!
To cut to the chase, beginning with the reds, we have a strong line-up of gutsy wines along with a couple of lighter, brisker selections. On the hearty side, Plageoles Prunelart is a powerful, fascinating wine from a producer in the Southwest who has done much to resurrect the indigenous grapes of the Gaillac region. Having this with a piece of duck confit and potatoes fried in duck fat will lead directly to bliss. Staying on the esoteric, Eszterbauer's Tüke Bikavér from Hungary is a juicy and powerful wine based on Kékfrankos (Blaufrankish), Kadarka and Bordeaux varietals. Pasquero's Nebbiolo D'Alba delivers plenty of muscle along with classic Nebbiolo character.

The lighter side of the reds are represented by Guillaume's Pinot Noir 09 from Franche-Comte and Vissoux's Beaujolais-Village Traditional VV 2010. Guillaume shows brisk and bright cherry fruit with a silken texture and a touch of earth. Vissoux's 2010 Traditional shows the freshness of the vintage in Beaujolais along bright berry fruit and sneaking sensation of richness. (Please see below for a full list of reds.)
For whites, famed Burgundy producer, Denis Bachelet's, Bourgogne Aligote transcends one's expectations of the Aligote grape delivering a wine with both zip and palate presence. Also, from Burgundy, Sainte Barbe's Macon impresses with its mineral driven purity.
As always, these bottles represent our top picks for the season. These are wines that will suit winter fare whether its bold wines to pair with stews, nervy wines to cut through richness, or whites for oysters and mussels in prime condition.
