Description of Tasting:

One of the best parts about the beginning of the year is all the new arrivals coming into the shop.  On Friday, the CBC team will share our featured wines and two exciting wines that have just taken up their spot on the shelves. Come explore with us from 3-7pm on Friday to sample:

Fontanavecchia Coda di Volpe Sannio 2023 - “Italian Albarino” was our first thought on tasting this very modern, salty, minerally, version of a very ancient Italian white grape. Zesty and fun.

Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2024 – Another great vintage for one of Marlborough’s most drinkable and awarded Sauvignon Blancs! Plenty of fruit and flavor here.

Birichino Pinot Noir Central Coast Saint Georges 2023 – Old vines, minimalist winemaking, and a great site in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains explain the quality here. The low price is a bit of a mystery, but a happy one!

Dom Florane Cotes du Rhone Visan A Fleur 2022 – From the Cotes du Rhone village of Visan, this has a nice inky black fruit character in a juicy, easy drinking, style.

Fontanavecchia Aglianico Taburno 2019 – All the flavor and richness you’d hope for from the grape known as “the Barolo of the South” but with more plushness and rich fruit. Great cookout, stew and roasted meat companion here.

We’ll have a treat or two from the cheese case out to enjoy with the wines as you kick off your 2025 wine exploration with us.

Organic/Bio “Glau Glau.” That’s what you hear the natural wine kids say about a wine that’s made without any artifice or pretension that’s almost too easy to drink. Like this Grenache/Mourvedre blend... Read More

Fontanavecchia - Aglianico Taburno 2019 (750ml)
Red Wine 

So much care and effort go into Fontanavecchia's everyday Aglianico that it's hard to believe it sells for such a song! Aglianico is Campania's most important red grape, and it can be used to make dark, powerful, leathery... Read More

Fontanavecchia - Coda di Volpe Sannio 2023 (750ml)
White Wine 

Lower ABV Coda di Volpe held a prime place in the Roman vineyard and, after empire, picked up its current name because the long, gangly, grape bunches reminded growers of the tail of a fox. Libero Rillo at Fontanavecchia is helping... Read More

Greywacke - Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2024 (750ml)
White Wine 

From Cloudy Bay alum Kevin Judd, Greywacke is kind of a laid-back take on the style Cloudy Bay made famous. Judd allows his Sauvignon Grapes more shade than most in Marlborough, allowing the fruit to ripen to a golden hue without... Read More
