Weekly Specials! 12/16/2024

White Wine of the Week

Vignerons du Sieur d’Arques
Saint-Hilaire
Blanquette de Limoux Brut

Normally $22.99 /
Now on Sale for $18.96
Mauzac, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc (Blanquette de Limoux AOC)

Cool Fact:

The monks of Limoux in the foothills of the eastern Pyrenees mountains were making sparkling wine a hundred years before people in Champagne developed the method!

How It’s Made:

Though Chardonnay is the prime grape of Champagne, Limoux sparklers are made almost entirely of the local Mauzac grape.

Why We Like It:

This wine is a bright, dry, delicious sparkler with green apple and pear notes that we love to introduce to people.

Red Wine of the Week

Les Vignobles Foncalieu
Réserve de L’Abbé
Côtes du Rhône

Normally $19.99 /
Now on Sale for $16.96

Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault (Côtes du Rhône AOP)

How It’s Made:

Sustainably farmed sloped vineyards on the right bank of the Rhône along the Cèze River consistently produce ripe fruit for Foncalieu. They age this wine in stainless steel and concrete to preserve that ripe, freshness.

Why We Like It:

It’s bright and juicy without leaving the world of classic Rhône reds. The tannins walk along with the fruit notes like a good buddy rather than like a bodyguard.

Beer of the Week

Proclamation Ale
Vacation Boy: Winter Edition

Normally $15.99 /
Now on Sale for $14.96
American Brown Ale (4.8% ABV)

How It’s Made:

Rhode Island’s Proclamation Ale Company does not go into detail about how they make this brown ale, but we’re glad they made it. (In case you’re wondering, they first had a summer edition.)

Why We Like It:

It has coffee notes with hints of toasted cinnamon while being light-bodied.
