Let’s get to the wine options. We curated a list of both red wines and white wines to be the star of your dinner table.
Red Wines
POGGI CORTE DEI CASTALDI AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA CLASSICO 2017
The Poggi Castaldi 2017 is a silky, delicate wine. The sophisticated flavor profile includes mature fruit, baking spices, and a hint of dried flowers. The palate is full-bodied, with juicy red berries, strong tannins, and a lingering aftertaste that will tempt your taste buds from sip to sip.
CHATEAU BEAUCASTEL CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE LES SINARDS
The Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Sinards is prepared with grapes from another vineyard and young vines from Chateau de Beaucastel. The wine is vinified in part with a short mash heating, similar to the Beaucastel, and the rest is fermented normally. This wine is aged in big wooden barrels for a year.
Cachapoal Valley, Chile, Altair 'Sideral' 2018. The wine's Indicative blend is primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, with a small amount of Cabernet Franc, Carmenere, Syrah, and Petit Verdot thrown in for good measure. The wine and grapes come from San Pedro. This wine can be paired with any food.
MARKHAM NAPA VALLEY VINEYARDS MERLOT
The floral fruit aroma of this wine ranges from strawberry preserves to boysenberry, and it's complemented by a variety of baking spices. On the palate, the smooth entrance melts like chocolate, leaving a silky but substantial mouthfeel and a long, powerful finish.
RIVETTO BARBARESCO CE VANIN
The fragrances of ripe cherries are intense, with rich undertones of minerals, tea leaves, and rose petals. Tannins that are harsh and ripe, acidity that is fresh, and round, also elgant structure. This Barbaresco has a lot of refinement, good balance, and a long persistent finish.
White Wines
Intense hues of freshly cut grass, juicy currant, and delicate hints of white blossoms and flint characterize this wine. The mouthfeel is pleasant. Ladoucette Pouilly Fume 2018 offers a complex texture with rich fruits, wonderfully integrated acidity, and a vitalizing freshness, as well as an aroma of fresh hay, exotic fruits, and spicy herbs, and an elegant body.
J.J. VINCENT POUILLY-FUISSÉ MARIE ANTOINETTE
This wine's grapes are vinified in stainless steel tanks, with just around 25% of the entire mix being aged in the wood. The resulting wine has youthful layers of acidity, apple, peach, and vanilla on the palate, and is pleasant, refreshing, and crisp.
CHATEAU DOMI COURS VITAE BLANC 2020
The color of this wine is a beautiful pale yellow with some green tints. Citrus notes (grapefruit, orange peel), tropical fruits, and white flower notes combine on the scent. The palate is exquisite, with a wonderful balance between a fresh structure and the sweetness of Sauvignon Blanc's strong aromas. Candied lemon, pineapple, and boxwood notes.
DOMAINE LAURENT BORGEOT BOURGOGNE CLOS DE LA CARBONADE
This wine is typically produced near the foot of the slopes, but the soil type varies depending on the geographical location. The soils of the Côte-d'Or are whitish or light grey marls and marly limestones, which are deep and not very rocky. The Yonne, on the other hand, offers sloping calcareous grounds, sometimes chalky as in the Tonnerrois district or on Kimmeridgian limestone as in Chablis and the Auxerrois, while the fragmented topography of the Chalonnais and Mâconnais pushes up soils made of limestone, clay, and marl. Then there's a granitic component in the southern Saône-et-Loire.
Candied pineapple, mandarin, stone fruits, and butterscotch aromas define the 2013 Treana Chardonnay. On the taste, lemon curd, white peach compote, grilled pineapple, and citrus flavors are tempered by creamy marzipan and creme brulee flavors. On the end, a smooth texture is complemented by exquisite acidity and a hint of toasted oak.
