2020 CHAPELLE DES BOIS ROUGE
CHIROUBLES GAMAY - GRAND CRU
$20.00 BTL.
A NEAL ROSENTHAL IMPORT! On every visit to NYC I would make a pilgrimage to Rosenthal’s shop on the upper east side. In my opinion, he is the absolute best wine importr – period!
Located in the heart of the Fleurie cru, Domaine de la Chapelle des Bois comprises nine hectares of vines, primarily in Fleurie, but augmented by smaller holdings in Chiroubles and Morgon. Rosenthal began working with this charming traditional domaine in the early 2000s with Chantal and Eric Coudert-Appert, the seventh generation to work the land and produce wine here. The vineyard holdings of Domaine de la Chapelle des Bois extend across the Fleurie boundary into Chiroubles, where they work a small parcel of 50-year-old Gamay planted in granite.
Exuberant blackberry and black raspberry in confitured and distilled form are threaded with lilac inner-mouth floral perfume, striking notes of blood orange rind, nutmeg, toasted pecan, blond tobacco, and subtle hints of game and forest floor. Silken in texture, sappy and pungent, this finishes with an exhilaratingly animated exchange of fruit, flower, and mineral elements. This is an absolute stunning wine at any price & possibly the best Gamay I have ever experienced.
BUBBLES ON A BUDGET!

NV ALMACITA SPARKLING ROSE’ BRUT, ARGENTINA....$12.50 BTL.
We tasted this last week & immediately said we will take it ALL even before we inquired about price. This hand harvested sparkling wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes from multiple vineyards within the Uco Valley. The nose is bursting with notes of strawberry, raspberry, rose petals, and fresh whipped cream that lead into a bright and fresh palate laced with red fruits and a touch of fresh baked bread. Tight bubbles, raspberry jam, and toasted almonds with fine chalky tannins round out this delicious wine. Gabriel Wisdom our Sommelier for hire exclaimed: “This taste like Argyle at ½ the price, sign me up”! BEST PRICE ON EARTH!
NV RIONDO PROSECCO DOC, ITALY.........$10.00 BTL.
Was $18! We LOVE Prosecco, YOU love Prosecco, we just can’t get enough of what is surely the best aperitivo wine on the planet. Exquisite green apples, ripe pear flavors with full on fizz to enliven the big meal or just quite conversation. Elegant package too!
