France and Spain are on the weekend's itinerary! Bring Mom by Saturday from 2-4pm for a few sips and bites upstairs here in the Wine Department. We'll be tasting a crisp, bright and surprisingly textured Chardonnay from Spanish producer Otazu. Next we'll enjoy the Sorin Rose from France...dry, bright watermelon and strawberries sound good? Next will be the Otazu Premium Cuve - a classic, rustic red blend. We finish with a lovely Mas des Mas Corbiers. (Corbiers is the largest appellation in the Languedoc region of France. Carignan is the grape of choice down there.)
Together with Connie's expert cheese pairings, this promises to be quite a civilized affair.
See you Saturday!]]>

Like a little gem among other hills, south of mount Venda, three miles from Este, rich in vineyards and olive groves, surrounded by meadows, is GEMMOLA.
(Guglielmo Stefani, 1845).
Perfect exposure and the unique composition of volcanic soil allows Vignalta to produce exceptional grapes from our vineyard on the Gemola hill, mostly planted with Merlot together with a smaller percentage of Cabernet Franc. However, the early vintages contained Cabernet Sauvignon instead of Cabernet Franc (e.g. 1997).
Gemola is the flagship of Vignalta wines - consistently receiving the highest awards. It's no wonder we are proud to offer verticals of this amazing wine from Northern Italy. 1997, 2000, 2001 and 2006 vintages are available now.
