A time for clandestine canoodling, a time for overt affairs, a time for boissons in the boudoir, and all the rest.
Romance! Yes folks, it's our favorite holiday - The wine lover's currency and the theme for this week's mixed case. Best of luck to all our friends opening their doors again this weekend. Here's to all of us getting close again soon. Miss you all, Happy Valentines day to you and with whomever you share love. xoxo
Valentines day cannot commence without a bottle of bubbles. It cannot! This fine specimen comes in a chalkboard coated bottle such that you can write a little love note and ride this frothy wave right onto the amourous shores of Cupid, Eros, Rati and the rest. Let this sparkling gem put the SPARK back in your quarantined love life this year!
Domaine Kox - Laurent & Rita Kox - Remich
Crémant de Luxembourg "Cuvée Dosage Zero" NV (Auxerrois/Chardonnay)
- Valentines day cannot commence without a bottle of bubbles. It cannot! This fine specimen comes in a chalkboard coated bottle such that you can write a little love note and ride this frothy wave right onto the amourous shores of Cupid, Eros, Rati and the rest. Let this sparkling gem put the SPARK back in your quarantined love life this year!
Dominique Derain – St Aubin
Champagne “Chut Libre” (Pinot Noir/Chardonnay) Val’Frison Collaboration
- Okay, so you want to get fancy. Who are we to judge? Take a page from lovers vinicultural and share a bottle of a grower Champagne forged in the fires of passion. Relax, passion for grapes! Alas, true passion burns too fast. These are the very last bottles from the union of Val and Dominique. Love is hard.
Domaine du Bartassou - Audrey & Anthony Vidal – Combas
Vdf “Un Petit Grain de Mamour” 2019 (Grenache Noir)
- A little grain of love from Anthony and Audrey in Combas is our suggested method for warming up around that February picnic table you and your loved one gor for that last minute reservation. Soft, unctous fruit to luxuriate in, turn your teeth purple, and fortify your spirits for a snowy walk home. It's nice!
Dominique Derain – St Aubin
Vdf "Dr’ain Dr’ain Tutti Frutti Ananas" 2019 (Grenache/Syrah)
- Or maybe igloo love isn't your thing and it's the warm sands of the Banyuls tugging your lonesome heartstrings. Tropical fruit, exotic love, and some capital 'F' funk, if that's your persuasion.
Bascule – Fifi (Négociant) – Saint André (Domaine Léonine)
Vdf “Bottum’up Rouge” 2019 (Grenache/Mourvèdre)
- Baudry, bombastic, bold, and spicy. Sometimes -- this time -- the name says it all. Cheers and bottom up (but spelled like a british guy is saying it).
Sarnin-Berrux - Jean-Pascal Sarnin & Jean-Marie Berrux - Monthélie
Beaujolais "Le Bojo Sutra" 2020 (Gamay)
- This is a beautiful, beautiful primeur wine from 50 year old vines in Regnie. Also, it has pictures of lovemaking on the label. This bottle is on us.
D - Naline Dupuis Derochers/Géraud Bonnet - Ferme Derochers Neuve
Nordic Honey Wine "Or la Loi" 500ml
- And for dessert, wine from Nordic honey. What you do with it is your business.
