Club 25 – November 2009
Thanksgiving weekend is a great time for wine whether in the dining room or (for football fans) by the television. A good Thanksgiving wine is bold and fruity enough to stand up to “The Meal”. And as every ones Thanksgiving table is different, a food friendly and diverse wine is key. I think you will [...]

Club 25 – October 2009
It is officially Autumn in Vermont. The leaves are showing their colors, the delicate yellows, blazing oranges, and brilliant reds. This is one of my favorite times of year, when everything is so rich and vibrant. It is harvest time and a wonderful time for your senses to get blasted with all that comes with [...]

Curious Cove Pinot Gris, Hawke’s Bay New Zealand, 2008
ABOUT THE WINE: September in Vermont is known for its warm, sunny days and cool, crisp nights. Our wine club wines this month are designed to mimic that weather forecast perfectly. The Curious Cove Pinot Gris comes from Hawke’s Bay, which is the second largest wine producing [...]

Bodegas Laxas Albarino, Rias Biaxas, 2008 – Spain
Despite a rather dismal start to summer, you can almost always guarantee that August will bring the heat! And on those blistering days when you feel like cranking up the air conditioner or better yet sitting back in the shade, you need a wine that will leave you [...]
Club 25 – July 2009
Domain des Corbillieres, Touraine Sauvignon, 2008 – France
As the mercury rises, so does our interest in juicy, thirst-quenching white wines. I’m a big proponent of equal-opportunity consumption throughout the year, but I must admit that my zeal for crisp, high-acid whites leads me around by my nose for most of July and August. For the [...]
Club 25 – June 2009
d’Arenberg Chardonnay, Adelaid, “The Olive Grove”, 2006 – Australia
d’Arenberg has a penchant for funny names. Their flagship bottling, for example, is the Dead Arm Shiraz. The Olive Grove Chardonnay takes its name from the olive trees that pop up between rows of vines in d’Arry’s original Chardonnay vineyard. Chester Osborne is the winemaker at the [...]
Rosé Adoration Part I – Chateau St. Martin de la Garrigue “Tradition” 2008
We’ve been pushing Rosé on our customers for the last few weeks. The response we’re getting is awesome and, predictably, one of happy surprise.

Quinta do Feital, Vinho Regional, “Auratas”, 2007 – Portugal
The warmer months are here, and I need tasty, big-on-value white wines. Lucky for me, our wine clubs transition to white wines for the summer months. Also lucky for me, we came across this beautiful, golden-hued wine a couple of weeks ago. Portugal is the new Spain. [...]
