THE WINES

Young wines you can enjoy right now!

Tonight’s wines are from the 2018 vintage, which is the current vintage for most Northern hemisphere wineries. In many of these choices, the vibrancy and youth is unmistakable. While change will occur with more bottle age, let’s appreciate these wines in their current state. Secure in the knowledge that while they will soften and evolve, they will never taste the way they do right now. Cheers!

2018 Chehalem Pinot Gris - 90 pts Wine Spectator

This is a rich, floral Pinot Gris from the Chehalem Mountain AVA within the Willamette Valley region. Subtle notes of spiced stone fruit with bright green apple flavors should pair perfectly with our greeter course. The wine will intensify and define the apple and enhance the creaminess of the cheese.

2018 Jean Marc Brocard Sainte Claire Chablis - 91 pts Vinous

In this citrusy Chablis, the soil is the star. The Kimmeridgian soil profile, the basis for Grand Cru Chardonnays in Burgundy, spins an enchanting balance of minerality and complexity while still allowing the fruit to showcase. The minerality and slight salinity will really embrace the scallops and heighten the dill seasoning.

2018 Patricia Green Pinot Noir Freedom Hills - 92 pts Wine Spectator

Patricia Green produces 14 single site examples of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and the fruit from Freedom Hills may be the most acclaimed of all of them. Long used by Ken Wright and many others, this vineyard produces a wine with enough structure and backbone to deal with a variety of complex dishes. Our renowned chef has provided us with a dish that it can match stride for stride. Minerality, dark fruit and some earthy notes should play nicely with the complex flavors in this course.

2018 Sparkman Holler Cabernet Sauvignon

Chris Sparkman, a Knoxville native, named this wine after Red Hollow where his parents live. Bordeaux like in its taste profile and makeup, containing 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec, 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. Silky, round with nice balanced tannic structure. Flavors of blackberry, cherry and cedar will embrace the caramelized onions and bring out the richness of the meat.

Quevedo Rosé Port - 86 pts Wine Advocate

A style first recognized in 2008, this is a new face for Port. Served lightly chilled, it is refreshing, vibrant and juicy with balanced sweetness. The interplay of the red fruit notes against the vanilla custard will prove intriguing.

Please talk with Rodney to be sure you can get these fine, young wines at the WSET discount.

Did you know?

“Toasting” started in ancient Rome where they would drop a piece of toasted bread into the wine glass to soften unsavory tastes.

“Drinking to one’s health” came from ancient Greece where the host would take the first sip to assure his guests the wine was not poison.

In ancient Rome, if a husband found his wife drinking wine he was at liberty to kill her. It was forbidden that women drink wine.
