Cahors, France 

Chateau Combel-la-Serre Cahors “Le Pur Fruit du Causse” is a beautiful red of 100% Malbec from Cahors in southwest France—the birthplace of Malbec (known locally as Auxerrois.) Julien Ilbert is a young, charismatic vigneron with a fresh perspective on his native Cahors. Vines have been in the Ilbert family for generations, though grapes had always been sold to the local cave coopérative. In 2005, Château Combel-la-Serre was born. 25 hectares of Auxerrois are planted on a diverse amount of terroirs, all within 5 kilometers of the cellar. Though a Cahors wine only needs to be 70% Auxerrois to get the appellation, Julien believes it is the only grape suitable for what he's trying to accomplish. In such he has consciously avoided planting the traditional Negrette and Tannat and completely eschewed the more recent trend of planting Bordeaux varietals. 

The fruit for the entry-level Pur comes from seven different Combel sites totalling 8.5 hectares around their home village of Cournou, which lies on the Causse Calcaire, a limestone plateau in Cahors at 320-350 meters in elevation. Planted on clay-limestone soils, the vines are certified-organic (in conversion to biodynamic farming), average 30 years old and are kept to a modest 40 hl/ha yield. The wine is aged on its lees in cement through the winter and bottled unfiltered in the spring. Sulfur throughout vinification and aging is minimal. 

Chateau Combel-la-Serre Cahors “Le Pur Fruit du Causse” is medium in body with a dark purple color. It offers complex aromas of ripe plum, blackcurrant and mocha combined with spicy notes. This Malbec reveals ripe tannins supported by a good fruit concentration and layers of sweet spices and vanilla.

Just as we know today, the Count of Buena Vista understood that great wine comes not only from great grapes, but also from great places. The Chateau Buena Vista wines honor the estate’s original foundation in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys as well as the influence and prominence that Buena Vista Winery holds in establishing Napa and Sonoma as the preeminent wine regions of California.

“Confession time. We were not lovers of Chardonnay. Sure, sometimes we'd find a pleasant one, but they never seem to hold our interest for long. We were also never interested in making Chardonnay. Until, we tasted this fruit. We fell in love. Why? Delicious, bright, fresh fruit flavors on the nose and palate. The perfect mouth coating texture and subtle French oak character that lingers long after you swallow. Fresh, rich and delicate all at once. What’s not to love?”—Kat & Rob

It has an expressive nose of ripe berries, sweet spices and some toast and is lush and creamy, with a soft texture. It's powerful in the house style, but there's balance and harmony. They produced some 800,000 bottles.”-Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate, 93 points!

Sauternes, Bordeaux, France

Chateau Romer Sauternes Grand Cru Classé is a delicious dessert wine from the most prestigious region for dessert wines—Sauternes. Founded in the 17th century by the Montalier family, sharing its early history with that of Château Romer du Hayot. In 1855, the estate was named Château Romer and was classified as a second growth. In 1911, 12 acres of the estate was sold to Roger Farges, and this land became the current Château Romer, which stayed in the Farges family for the next century. In 2002, Anne Farges restarted winemaking at Château Romer, with the 2002 vintage the first to reappear under the château's own name. The property has since been taken over by Maison François Janoueix, which takes the greatest care in maintaining this vineyard. 

Chateau Romer Sauternes is a blend of 90% Semillon, 5% Sauvignon Blanc, and 5% Muscadelle. Only 3.5 ha are currently in production, making just 6,000 bottles annually. Traditional vinification in French oak barrels, followed by aging in barrels for 12 to 18 months. Showing freshness as much as richness, this is a honey-and-lemon flavored wine. While it has weight, the acidity cuts the texture, keeping the richness in balance. For long term aging. 

In addition to the classic pairing of Sauternes with foie gras, Chateau Romer Sauternes Grand Cru Classé is great for aperitifs and to finish off meals of white meats, fish, or with pastries. Serve chilled at 51 to 53F.

Mendoza, Argentina

The name Traful is a Mapuche word that means "union" and specifically the union and connection with nature and all its transformations. Wine of course comes from grapes grown in nature and then transformed by nature into wine. Traful is also the name of a beautiful lake in Patagonia that is a very popular destination for holidays for Argentines and it is a lake full of delicious fish! This is a young fruit driven Malbec. The grapes ferment with native yeasts in stainless steel with gentle maceration. The fruit then spends 3 months in used large French oak vats ranging in size from 2,500-5,000 liters to gain some volume in the mouth and a touch of wood flavor before back into tank to age further before bottling. 

Ecologically farmed with no herbicides or pesticides used. All vines are ungrafted and on original root stocks.

Enjoy Traful Malbec over the next 5-7 years with steak, burgers, grilled salmon, and rich vegetable dishes.

France

Mathilde fruit liqueurs are handcrafted French spirits produced from our cherished forefathers’ recipes. Today, Maison Ferrand painstakingly oversees the production of Mathilde liqueurs and strives to transmit its ancestral savoir-faire, year after year. The farmers who grow the fruits for Mathilde are guided by traditional farming techniques and harvest only the freshest fruits at their peak ripeness to ensure we capture the most palatable flavors.

The result is a fancy liqueur from France, wonderfully adaptable for mixing in cocktails, using in baking and cooking like our grandmothers did, drizzling on fruits and desserts, mixing with soda water and so many more variations.

Mathilde liqueurs are entirely natural – no stabilizers or preservatives are added, ever.

Cassis has been referred to as the “Elixir of life” since the 18th century. Cassis liqueur has been made across several regions in France for decades. Some of the finest blackcurrant berries are found in Burgundy and are called Noir de Bourgogne, and we use those as well as berries from the Loire Valley, called the Royal de Naples.

Noir de Bourgogne blackcurrants have excellent aromatic qualities and are considered the tastiest blackcurrants to eat. We also use the Royal de Naples, which have a soft, sweet flavor.
