TASTINGS & EVENTS

Tasting Notes ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Thank you all for coming out last night to share our love of great wine with great friends. The Châteauneuf-du-Pape was exquisite (and a surprise to many), and Post & Beam was a favorite among many of the attendees. Of course, the sparkling Chenin Blanc from Vouvray had everyone buzzing and was a perfect way to kick off what turned out to be a truly solid tasting for this Valentine's weekend.

Sadly, those bottles were exhausted last night, so we’ve put together a fresh lineup for this evening, which includes the following:

Chateau Langlois, Crémant de Loire NV – From the Loire Valley (just like the Vouvray from last night) comes what many call an “entry-level Champagne.” Chateau Langlois’ Crémant offers aromas and flavors of crisp green apple, grapefruit, and light citrus zest, along with a hint of brioche and creaminess that are the direct result of extended fine lees aging.

Boen, Chardonnay 2024 – Created by Joe Wagner from the coastal-influenced regions of Sonoma, Monterey, and Santa Barbara. Boen Chardonnay shows aromas of fresh pear, honeysuckle, green apple, and nectarine. On the palate, flavors of white peach, pear, green apple, and toasted almonds linger into a long, pleasant, mouthwatering finish.

First Sight, Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 – Organic grapes from Paso Robles make up the backbone of this sustainably produced red wine. While the region is often known for creating big, jammy reds, this bottling is softer and more approachable—perfect for a night on the couch in front of a roaring fire. You’ll find aromas of black currant, plum, tobacco, and a hint of spice. On the palate, oak-influenced dark fruits mingle with gentle spice and vanilla notes, supported by a medium-plus body that lingers beautifully until your next sip.
