Domaine De La Taille Aux Loops (Jacky Blot) "Triple Zero" Montlouis Pétillant
Review Date: 6-24-2009
This is an awesome sparkler of Chenin Blanc. It truly has everything that I'm looking for: aromatics, texture, weight, character and finish. Worls class stuff here...
Price: $19.99
Jean-Francois Merieau "Bulles" Touraine Sparkling
Review Date: 6-24-2009
This is my sparkling pick to get the evening kicked off. Or, to accompany the perfect Sunday Summer brunch. This is in my fridge at the ready at all times...
Price: $17.99
2004 Vollrads Riesling Qba (Was $14)
Review Date: 6-24-2009
Woops, it's gone. That's what this wine is all about. Just slightly more dry than an off-dry is what makes this dangerous.
Price: $9.99
2007 Weingut Michlits Frizzante Rosé (Pinot Noir)
Review Date: 6-24-2009
Sweet red fruits bounce from the glass, small, frizzy bubbles and a nice clean, dry finish. I was so happy when I first tried this - my first thought was "gotta have this".
Price: $19.99
2007 Gerard Boulay "Clos du Beaujeu" Sancerre Chavignol
Review Date: 1-28-2009
Barrel fermented and unfiltered the Clos du Beaujeu represents everything that is good. It should be the standard that Sauvignon Blancs from around the world should strive for—from its fresh minerality, vibrant acidity and jumpy aromatics to the intriguing richness and lingering complexity.
Price: $29.99
2007 Gerard Boulay "Monts Damnés" Sancerre Chavignol
Review Date: 1-28-2009
From a steep south-facing plot that produces some of the worlds most powerful and age-worthy wines. Snappy citrus and spicy flower petal aromas abound on the nose with a brawny structure running through the entire length of the wine. A bit tight and wound up now, but this, I promise you, will be something you are really glad to have in your arsenal down the road. I had the 2002 New Years day and was blown away!
Price: $29.99
2006 Weingut Allram Blauer Zweigelt 1L
Review Date: 1-28-2009
A full-bodied red at an incredible price—and it’s in that one-liter bottle that I love so. Spicy blue and black berries tame and meld into the dusty, juicy finish that has just enough zip to make this an excellent food wine. It will be great with wintertime braised meat dishes. I had a couple of glasses while munching on a grilled ham and cheese and it was perfect with that, too! Sometimes you just have to appreciate the simple things.
Price: $11.99
2007 von Hövel Estate "Balduin" Riesling
Review Date: 7-18-2008
Yet another new wine for us here at the ‘ol K&L—and with good reason. Sharp aromatics of tangy apples and creamy pears bound from the glass and delicate white flower notes linger too. With its classic Saar zip the wine’s finish is off-dry, juicy and lively. This is a perfect wine for almost any appetizer, salads and many first courses. Or, try it with that take-out you just picked up since it’s been a long day and you’d rather relax than cook when you get home.
Price: $14.99
