Try Three For Free Wine Tasting – Great examples of old vine wines!!! Saturday, January 9th from 2-5 p.m. – “Old Vines” is a common wine buzzword, but it doesn’t always mean that much. There is no official regulation for this term and many bulk producers use it rather “loosely.” At Table Wine, we dig a little deeper and make sure that the wines we stock that carry this designation actually contain grapes from older vineyards. As vines age, yields decrease and the finished wines gain more depth and complexity of flavor. Join us for a free wine tasting where you’ll get to sample some top old vine wines. Stop by, taste, learn and save up to 20% off on all of the featured tasting wines.
All of the featured tasting wines are on sale the day of the tasting: take 10% off if you mix any 3, 15% off if you mix any 6, or 20% off if you mix any 12.
The Wines
1. 2014 Domaine Lafage Cuvee Centenaire (Cotes du Roussillon, France) – Year in and year out, this is one of the top white wine values in the world. Crafted by the talented Jean-Marc Lafage, the wine is a blend of 100+ year old Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris and Roussanne from the sun drenched vineyards of Southern France. Beautifully textured, layered, and laced with flavors of white peach, spiced citrus fruits, and complex mineral, this white wine offers up loads of complexity and nuance at a great price. 91 points The Wine Advocate
2. 2011 Four Vines Old Vine Zinfandel “Truant” (Various Regions, California) – Made with grapes from an assortment of 30+ year old vineyards scattered throughout California, this is always one of California’s great Zinfandel values. Full bodied and bold in flavor, it exhibits ripe and rich notes of dark berries, exotic spices, and just a kiss of oak. 88 points Wine and Spirits
3. 2013 Milou Rouge (Languedoc, France) – From 50+ year old vineyards near the village of Sommières in Southern France, this 50/50 Grenache and Syrah blend is a ton of wine for the money.
