Killer B’s Gift Pack: Barolo, Barbaresco and Brunello to give you a buzz

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011


Barolo, Barbaresco and Brunello di Montalcino are three of Italy’s most famous wines. They are majestic reds, the first two made from Nebbiolo in Piedmont, the third from Sangiovese in Tuscany, and they are waiting for you to take them home, give them away, stash them in a cellar or open them with dinner. They are killer because they excite the senses like few wines do, particularly when made by great traditional producers like Sobrero, Castello di Verduno and Mastrojanni. Enough said!

And remember, you can taste all three wines tomorrow afternoon from 5:30pm!

Killer B’s Gift Pack
$141

Bodegas Ontañón Rioja Tasting, this Friday

Sunday, December 4th, 2011


This Friday we’ll welcome Elissa Bernhisel, U.S. representative of Rioja winery Bodegas Ontañón. Elissa will be pouring the powerful yet elegant 2008 vintage of Ontañón’s Crianza Rioja. Grapes for this wine are sourced from high-altitude slopes on the Sierra de Yerga mountain range just outside of the town of Quel, where the winery is located. Until the 1970s fruit from these parcels had been sold to other wineries, until Gabriel Pérez Cuevas took over his family’s enterprise and began to make wine from them, his goal being a superior quality Rioja. Today his kids Raquel, Ruben and Maria carry on their father’s tradition. Situated in the eastern sub-region of Rioja Baja, Ontañón’s vineyards enjoy warmer days and less rainfall than neighboring Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa. Interestingly, the estate boasts one hectare of pre-phylloxera Garnacha vines. This blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha is aged in a mixture of both new (60%) and old (40%) American (60%) and French (40%) oak barrels.
