Bonus Taste (VIP Friday Only):

Château Roumieu AOC Sauternes 375ML - France - $28.99

 

photo chateau roumieu chateau roumieu jp 8a4f4e6Chateau Roumieu is a family-owned property passed down from generation to generation since the 18th century. The name “Roumieu” refers to an important stage along the ancient pilgrimage route of “Saint-Jacques de Compostelle”, or St. James’ Way, back in medieval times – when “Roumieu” was used by the Moors to describe the Christians. A scallop shell, adopted as the Chateau’s emblem, features on the label, as “Saint-Jacques” is the French word for scallop.

The Château is located on the calcareous-clay plateau of Haut-Barsac, on the same terroir as the most prestigious Cru wines of Sauternes, with Climens (1st cru) and Doisy-Védrines (2nd cru) both adjoining the property.

Over the years, the Craveia-Goyaud family has committed to protect the unique character of the terroir. The vines are managed to irreproachable standards, guided by a sustainable viticultural regime and restricted yields. In order to make the finest wine possible, the grapes at Château Roumieu are painstakingly picked by hand one by one, in successive sweeps through the vine rows, with sometimes as many as 3-6 sweeps per block, picking only the grapes 100% affected by botrytis.

The wine is then slowly vinified and matured in oak barrels for 18 months.

This Sauternes is remarkable for its very fine, complex bouquet with aromas of candied fruit, honey and acacia. On the palate, the wine reveals good structure and is wonderfully supple and fleshy.

Blend

20% Muscadelle, 35% Sauvignon Blanc, 45% Sémillon

Shay's Farwell Artisan Wine Tasting Party
Saturday, March 07, 2020 06:00 PM - 08:00 PM

 
Be sure to stop in and say farewell to Shay! We have really enjoyed having her as part of our family and will miss her during our future wine tastings. Shay's experience in the wine industry was a great help to all our guests, but we are going to miss her smiling face the most during our upcoming events. The good news is you can still see her at JZ's Taste of Georgia in Cartersville. Shay was so kind to drive a very long way to help us and now it's time that she gets to visit us from the other side of the bar. 

Tasting Selections (Same as Friday):

*See list Above.

 

Bonus Taste (VIP Saturday Only):

RL Buller Fine Muscat 375 ML - Australia - $19.98

 

RL BULLER FINE MUSCAT

Wine Maker: Andrew Buller

Appellation: Victoria

Varietal: Muscat

Viticular Practices: At Bullers, we still use traditional methods to produce our Premium Muscats. The

grapes are handpicked at our non-irrigated vineyard. In the winery, the skins are gently pressed to extract flavor without unwanted tannins or bitterness. Maturation: We use a solera system of fractional blending in oak barrels. At the mature wine is drawn off for bottling it is replaced with wine from the new vintage. This ensures a consistent blend of the older material with the fresh new wine. Cellaring Recommendations: Fully matured when released and ready for immediate consumption.

Wine Makers Notes: Mid-reddish brown to amber at the rim. Aromatic raisiny/floral scents/hint of spirit.

Initial sweetness and raisiny flavours linger to reveal complex hints of honey and lemons. Some rancio character. Underlying structure of tannin and well-integrated spirit. Finish is long and the honeyed flavours return and linger.
