FREE South African Wine Tasting tonight 5-7p.m.!

I think we should make a different calendar like the Mayans did and officially start the Fall in mid-November because it's still hot. Anyways, We are having a great wine tasting today from 5-7pm on South African wines. We are going to start the tasting with a Chenin Blanc, a Pinotage, a Cabernet franc/merlot blend and finish it off with a Rosé from Bordeaux. You shouldn't miss this tasting, we only do South African wines about twice a year.

Remember this event is Free!! Tell you friends, tell your grandma, ....tell everyone.

Philippe's Mini Chateuneuf du Pape

The Summer is almost over and here comes the Fall. It’s my favorite season personally, not because it’s my birthday nor because I get to eat a lot of candy for Halloween, but because I can start drinking some heavier wines. So why not start the season with a bargain, a Cotes du Rhone that taste like a mini Chateauneuf Du Pape, which Philippe and I tasted Monday in New Orleans.

Domaine de Marcoux Cotes Du Rhone 2008-

A combination of 97% Grenache and 3% Mourvedre and Cinsault. It offers deep black cherry fruit, roasted herb, and loamy soil characteristics presented in a medium-bodied, juicy, elegant format. Also it’s a biodynamically farmed vineyard.

Rated 90pts by Philippe’s Wine Cellar

Philippe’s Everyday Price $24.99- Vintage Service Price $19.99 per bottle, $18.99 for 6 or more, $17.99 for 12 bottles or more.

Philippe's 92pt Cotes Du Roussillon

Today, We are featuring a Cotes Du Roussillon from Domaine de Bila-Haut. Cotes Du Roussillon is located right around the corner in the Languedoc Region in the South of France. We have tasted this wine from vintage to vintage, it feels like it can't stop getting better.

Domaine De Bila-Haut Occultum Lapidem 2008-

The Bila-Haut 2008 Cotes du Roussillon Villages Latour de France Occultum Lapidem - as usual, a roughly two-to-one blend of Grenache and Syrah vinified in large casks and tank - mingles pungently resinous herbs, tart-edged fresh black fruits, and beef marrow in a context of textural richness yet surprising levity and uncanny sheer refreshment for a red wine. "That's typical for the 2008 vintage after all," remarks Troullier of this wine's freshness, but I am also amazed to realize that it harbors a more-or-less normal alcohol for this cuvee of 14.5%, even though it acts as though there could hardly be much more than 13%. Persistently high-toned evocations of flowers and garrigue herbs as well as a mouthwatering salinity add to the allure and the finish here will leave your tongue delightedly tingling and panting for repeat sips
