NV Velours de Nuit au Cassis and Club Soda Cocktail

What?  Yes.  I figure going into Labor Day weekend that we should have sun.  So I decided to pour a unique drink that I have savored at home on many occasions.  It is the perfect drink to pour for friends before a dinner party versus making a regular cocktail.  This will easily refresh you.  The closest comparison I can make is the feeling when you spray rose water on your face.  There is no other feeling.  One bottle makes 10-15 drinks or you can drink it by itself.

Case Price Special: $200 ($16.66/btl)

Last year the 2006 Crowley Chardonnay was a hit. Now Tyson Crowley is releasing his 2^nd Chardonnay. After my first sip, I knew it was a winner. This wine is 100% Maresh Vineyard planted in the early 1980s. There were five barrels (125 cases) with only one being new. The Chardonnay shows a mineral-infused medium body wine with a highlighting citrus note, one of lemon zest or lemon curd found on a ricotta cheese cake. Very fresh and approachable, it will just get better and better through the summer and near future.

2005 Chateau Rollat

Rollat Cabernet Sauvignon

Original Price: $40 (Some places in the country have it listed for close to $50)

Special Bottle Price: $29

Wine Advocate 90+: “The 2005 Rollat Cabernet Sauvignon is composed of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc aged in 40% new French oak. Purple-colored, it exhibits aromas of cedar, pencil lead, spice box, black cherry, and black currant. Made in an elegant, seamless style, the wine has excellent grip, fine depth, and a lingering, fruit-filled finish. Allow 2-3 years in the cellar and drink it from 2012 to 2020.” Chateau Rollat has hired as a consulting winemaker the famous Christian LeSommer. He is the consulting manager at Domaines de Barons Rothschild. Christian was also general manager and wine master at Chateau d’yqeum and Chateau Latour for ten years.
