WINES

Avinyo Petillant, Catalonia, Spain

Varietals: Muscat de Frontignan, Macabeo, Xarel-lo, Alc. 10.5%

Avinyo is a Cava producer in the Penedes region of Catalan, and they also produce this dry vi d’agulla, the Catalan term for a wine bottled with a little natural effervescence retained from the winemaking process. This vibrant and refreshing wine, lower in alcohol, is the traditional summertime drink of the Penedès region. Petillant is made with a blend of two organically farmed, estate vineyards. Finca La Guardia is the highest, most rugged vineyard on the property at 350 meters; here muscat de Frontignan was planted in 2003 in the stony calcareous-clay soils. Macabeo and xarel-lo are grown in the Finca Can Fontanals vineyard, planted from 1978 to 1988. This fresh, slightly fizzy white showcases heady aromas of honeysuckle and orange blossoms. Delightfully crisp and fresh on the palate, the finish is dry and mouthwatering. Great as an aperitif. Pairs well with salads, seafood, white meats. $19.99

Casa di Monte Biancospino, Tuscany, Italy

Varietals: 85% Trebbiano, 15% Malvasia, Alc. 12%

Though there have been grapevines on the land that makes up Casa di Monte since the 1920s, and the current owners purchased the vineyard in 1973, it was only in 2000 that Casa di Monte agricultural company was formed. Today, the company has 35 hectares for the production of red and white IGT wines and Chianti, Chianti Montespertoli, and Chianti Classico wines, and 7 hectares of specialized olive groves for the production of extra virgin olive oil, all of which are sustainably farmed. The Biancospinois is made from selected Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes. It has a straw-yellow color with greenish reflections, and an aroma of apple with a hint of fresh citrus and herbs. On the palate it is fruity, with good acid and a clean, dry finish. Pairs well with pasta, lean fish, cured meats. $14.99

Volker von Donabaum Grüner Veltliner, Burgenland, Austria

Varietal:Grüner Veltliner, Alc. 12%

Volker Donabaum, the founder of Volker Wines, has been in the wine industry practically since birth. He grew up on the Donabaum family estate in the Wachau in Austria, where the family has been making wine since 1833. Volker worked several harvests in Austria before working as an assistant winemaker in California, France, Italy, New Zealand, Australia, Oregon, and Canada. Grüner Veltliner is the most important autochthonous grape variety in Austria. It became widespread during the 1950s,and today this variety is most heavily planted in Niederösterreich and northern Burgenland. The von Donabaum Grüner is organically grown, and spends 5 months fermenting on lees with native yeast. It has mineral, chalk, lime-zest, and golden-apple notes, with zesty-acidity and elegance. It is clean and crisp, with a nose of freshly cut grass, green apple, and white peach. On the palate, it is lean and mineral-driven, with flavors of slate, lemon peel, and white flowers. Pairs well with salads, Asian food, and seafood. $17.99

Barrique Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, California

Varietal: Pinot Noir, Alc. 13%

Barrique’s Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir encompasses cool-climate vineyards in the Russian River Valley, Sonoma Coast, and Carneros AVAs. The blend also includes fruit from the Roses Estate Vineyard on Olivet Road, which is near icons like Martinelli. Once harvested, the fruit is gently transferred by gravity to open-top fermenters, where it was fermented with 33% whole clusters for added depth and structure. The resulting wine balances brightly focused and intriguing fruit, with velvety yet firm tannins and lovely acidity. Deep red in the glass, the nose is full of ripe huckleberry, cedar, and vanilla spice. The texture is plush with a broad mouthfeel. Flavors of blackberry compote, fig jam, and caramelized sugar round out a long finish.

Pairs well with pork, stews, mushroom dishes. $24.99

Chateau Ponzac Maintenant ou Jamais, Cahors, France, Varietal: Malbec, Alc. 13%

Château Ponzac was founded in 1998, when Matthieu Molinié took over his family estate after earning his degree in viticulture and oenology. After getting the same degree, his partner, Virginie, joined him two years later. The Molinié family has been living in the village of Carnac-Rouffiac since the 14th century and is inextricably linked to the local vineyards and winemaking traditions. Château Ponzac covers 28 hectares of vineyards in the Cahors appellation with vines that average 25-years-old. The wines reflect the terroirs that are typical of the area, featuring marl/limestone and clayey soils. Ponzac’s vineyards enjoy cool nights from their ideal location on the Cahors plateau, which helps confer an original style on their wines: medium bodied, yet fresh and long on the palate, with a vibrant expression of dark berry fruit. Their Maintenant ou Jamais pours a deep red color, has aromas of red fruit on the nose with hints of plum. On the palate, it is smooth with blackcurrant flavors, rounded tannins, and just a touch of acidity. Pairs well with steak, lamb, and dark-meat poultry. $ 18.99 

And don’t forget to check out what’s new in our beer case, including two juicy NE IPAs and a clean, refreshing rice lager from East Regiment Brewing, a veteran-owned brewery in Salem and a crisp new lager and a smooth, refreshing kolsch from Rockport Brewing.
