wine tasting wines for dec 4th friday wine dinner

Bon Appétit: December Holiday party wines
December 4, 2009 with Michael Paré of L'Eft Bank Wine Company

Starter wines
NV Adami Prosecco Garbel 13, Conegliano-Valdobbiadene, Italy

In the ancient local dialect, garbèl, when referring to wine, means dry and crisp, pleasantly tart. Our Garbèl is a highly esteemed sparkling wine produced from vineyards in the Colli Trevigiani that yield grapes which long experience has destined exclusively for outstanding wines. The area, which includes the Conegliano-Valdobbiadene zone, lies close to the high mountains; it enjoys warm but not humid summers, and the significant diurnal temperature differences are very favourable during the grape ripening period. The nose releases crisp-edged, complex notes of fruit, and the palate is full-flavoured, with a crisp acidity. Garbèl is a wonderfully versatile sparkler: its 13 grams of residual sugar place it between the Brut and Extra Dry styles and suit it admirably for wine bars and for enjoying apart from a meal. Serve at 7-8°C.

2007 Catena Chardonnay, Mendoza, Argentina
From Argentina’s most famous and best wine-producing family, comes this rich, full-bodied Chardonnay. Catena, founded in 1902, moved viticulture literally to the heavens when in 1981 they started planting experimental vineyards at elevations never used before, from 3,000 feet to over 5,000 feet. At this altitude, vines experience longer growing cycles as well as the extremes of the Mendoza dessert sun during the day and the cool Andes temperatures at night. The Chardonnay is all hand harvested. Aged 9 months in French oak, the wine shows some hints of oak, a rich palate of tropical fruits and the great acidity from grapes grown at high elevations.


For the Main Courses
2008 Chateau Bianca Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, Oregon
A delicious juicy flavor with dark fruit flavors such as blackberry,fig, and dates. The aroma contains hints of cinnamon and very pleasant flavors of cocoa, coffee, and spice round out the finish. Very stylish and elegant with abundant fruit, soft tannins, and the allure of chocolate before the finish.

2006 Catena Cabernet Sauvignon, Mendoza, Argentina
The grapes for the Catena wines are sourced from several vineyard sites and then blended together in the final product. For 20 years, Nicolas Catena and his winemaking team have planted countless numbers of varietals and clones throughout their mountainous vineyard sites. Each vineyard site enjoys its own soil variations and microclimates. Nicolas and his team have carefully studied the effects of these microclimates on the grapes from each vineyard. They discovered that the same varietal, and even the same clone, presents truly distinct aromatic and flavor characteristics when grown in different microclimates. Implementing the age-old "art of assemblage," Nicolas found that by blending different lots of the same varietal, he could create a more intense and complex wine. As great artists tap their creative spirit to mix and match colors for a final work of art, the team at Bodega Catena Zapata use their creativity in the intricate process of blending grapes in order to craft the final wine.


Dessert Course

Bon Appétit: Recommended wines for Thanksgiving
November 6, 2009 with Michael Paré of L'Eft Bank Wine Company

2007 Kuentz Bas Alsace Blanc, France: $14
60% Silvaner, 15% Muscat, 15% Auxerrois, 10% Chasslas: Purity, freshness, and charm. Those are the first impressions. While generously aromatic, it delivers its Alsatian character with delicacy. The vinification and blending of the numerous Alsatian grape varieties are masterful. The palate is round, flavorful, and dry. It shows the charm and harmony of the 2007 vintage, and the floral, fruity qualities typical of the region.


2007 Meyer-Fonné Gentil d’Alsace, France: $20
An assemblage of 30% Muscat, 40% Pinot Blanc, and %15 each Riesling and Gewurztraminer. This vintage is very aromatic, and lightly musky. It is a dry and well structured wine for enjoyment in all kinds of contexts, ranging from an aperitif to wine with a meal and friends.


2008 Dupreuble Beaujolais, France: $16
Strawberries, marzipan, and sweet peony perfume grace the nose of Dupeuble’s 2008 Beaujolais, which comes to the palate satisfyingly juicy and with a peachy sense of underlying ripeness to go with its red berries. This finishes with welcome, winsome cut and freshness. I would plan to enjoy it over the next couple of years.


2008 Cono Sur Sustainably Farmed Pinot Noir, Chile: $13
This Pinot Noir made from grapes in conversion to organic agriculture certified by BCS öko Garantie
GmBH, is appealing in its rich and deep bright red color. Its complex and developed nose is governed by sweet wild fruit aromas, where notes of cherries and berries are enhanced by slight chocolate hints. This Pinot definitely has a personality of its own. It’s tasteful, with soft tannins and an excellent structure.


2008 Cooper Mountain Cooper Hill Pinot Noir, Oregon: $18
Made with organically grown grapes, Cooper Mountain Vineyards Cooper Hill Pinot Noir is a concentrated, wild-cherry-flavored wine with soft, distinctive layers throughout the sip. This complex red is suitable for plank-seared salmon or delicate beef.


2006 Castoro Cellars Zinfandel, Paso Robles California: $14
Castoro Cellars has over 75 acres of "Certified Organic" vineyards, by the California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) in compliance with USDA standards. In addition, in 2006 Castoro Cellars installed 42 solar panels on the property to make the move away from the grid. Our Zinfandel is created from vineyards in the Templeton area of the Paso Robles appellation. You will find typical Zinfandel fruit with slight raisin and spice notes.=

Bon Appétit: Great Scoring Spanish Wines
October 8, 2009 with Michael Paré of L'Eft Bank Wine Company

2007 Rafael Palacios Louro
“90 points. The 2007 Louro do Bolo is 100% Godello produced from 40-50 year old vines. It was tank fermented and aged on the lies. Light gold-colored, it offers up aromas of petrol, white peach, and spiced pear. This leads to an elegant wine with a vibrant palate-feel, good balance, and outstanding concentration. Drink it over the next 2-3 years.” – Wine Advocate, August 2008.


2006 Artazuri Garnacha
“89 points. The purple-colored 2006 Santa Cruz is also 100% Garnacha, in this case sourced from a single vineyard with 80- to 100-year-old vines. It reveals a solid nose of mineral, spice box, and black cherry. On the palate it has very good, ripe savory flavors but comes off as slightly compact. While its intentions are more serious, on my pleasure meter it barely beats out the Artazuri Tinto.” – Wine Advocate, June 2009




2007 Mas Que Vinos Tempranillo Roble: “90 points. There are 10,000 cases of the 2007 Ercavio Roble, made up of 100% Cencibel (Tempranillo) and aged for five months in French and American oak. A glass-coating opaque purple in color, it delivers an expressive nose of cedar, earth notes, black cherry, and blackberry liqueur. Thick, dense, and opulent on the palate, it has gobs of savory black fruit, licorice and spice notes, enough structure to evolve for 1-2 years, and a lengthy finish. It totally over-delivers for its humble price. This is one to buy by the case.” – Wine Advocate, February 2009



2007 Bodegas Castano Monastrell
“90 points. A customer cuvee from importer Eric Solomon, this dense, purple-colored wine reveals surprisingly sweet tannin as well as gobs of black raspberry, cranberry, and currant fruit. There are plenty of cases of this soft, supple, 100% Mourvedre [Monastrell] for the US. A wine to purchase by the case, it will last 2-5 years.” – Wine Advocate, February 2009




2005 Capcanes Mas Donis Barrica
“91 points. Mas Donis Barrica is a customer cuvee made or importer Eric Solomon using old-vine Garnacha (80+ years) and Syrah (30+ years). The 2005 Mas Donis Barrica is 85% Garnacha and 15% Syrah aged for 8 months in French and American oak before bottling without fining or filtration. It offers up an expressive nose of slate, mineral, licorice, violets, black cherry, and blueberry. Layered, long, and complex, this spicy, hedonistic effort has 2-3 years of aging potential but can be enjoyed now without guilt. It is a great value.” – Wine Advocate, February 2008.

Bon Appétit: Liquid Gems from France
September 19, 2009 with Michael Paré of L'Eft Bank Wine Company


30 dollars/person includes: mushrooms Durand/tomato coulis/French rice salad or soupand pork hachee/ scallops bourride/ poulet avec basil frommage/ tourte de blette

2008 Graville-Lacoste Graves Blanc
The Chateau Graville-Lacoste Graves 2008 is something like the return of a long-lost family member, who was lost-at-sea/lost-in-the-mountains/lost-in-the-Amazon-jungle… a lost soul just now finding its way back, a bit like Odysseus. This is a blend of 70% Semillon, 25% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Muscadelle. Loaded with characteristics of limestone, redstone and grey silex, there are notes of lemon, fresh cut hay, thyme and traces of grapefruit and guava are intermingling in a context of well-balanced acidity and vibrant, racy fruit appeal. It’s certainly one of the best, if not the best value, in white Bordeaux on the market today. Produced by revered vigneron Hevre Dubourdieu of Chateau Romieu-Lacoste, this is an exceptional white wine that would be a likely choice for Fruti de Mer, a rather spicy sautéed seafood dish, traditional to French cafés and bistros this time of year.


2007 Meyer-Fonné Gentil
An assemblage of 30% Muscat, 40% Pinot Blanc, and %15 each Riesling and Gewurztraminer. This vintage is very aromatic, and lightly musky. It is a dry and well structured wine for enjoyment in all kinds of contexts, ranging from an aperitif to wine with a meal and friends.


2007 Lapierre Morgon Beaujolais
100% Gamay in the heart of the CRUS of Beaujolais. Biodynamic grape growing and wine making since 1981. From the winery: “Respectful of the environment and concerned by the quality of our wines, we do not use artificial fertilisers or weed killers, we prefer compost and plough our vines in order to keep them strong. Furthermore, for the protection of the vineyard, we prefer use of organic treatments, preserving yeast living on the bunch. You shouldn’t close the door to the progress, but the goal is to stimulate natural defences.


2007 Kermit Lynch Cotes du Rhone
A blend of mostly Grenche with some Syrah and Mourvedre thrown in for good measure. A pleasing wine: solid strawberry, cherry fruit from the Grenache, with weight from the dark fruit of Syrah and Mourvedre. 2007 was an exceptional year for wines from the Rhone Valley, and the best buys in the marketplace right now are found from this appellation. Enjoy, and, ideally, enjoy often.


2006 Domaine de Terrebrune Vin de Pays Terre d’Ombre
80% Mourvedre, 10 Grenache and 10% Cinsault. A baby Bandol. Bandol? Well, the reigning price of Mourvedre-based wines, with vineyards literally right up against the Mediterranean in the eastern part of southern France. Why a baby? Bandol wines need 18 months in wood, whereas this wine gets only 9 months. So the rich, intense, dark concentrated Mouvedre is in a nearly pure format, with the Grenache to add lightness and perfume, and the Cinsault to add complexity and a spicy richness at the back of the palate.
