Staff Pick Notes

Rosés are often judged by their color. Ones with darker color are believed to taste like fruit punch and the paler stuff, light and dry. These assumptions will limit your field of vision and you’ll miss all the good pink wines out there. L’Audacieuse has a brilliant, pale-salmon color, but it is in no way dainty. The aroma is loaded with pineapple, anise, lychee, and tangy white apricot. The palate has more body than its color would suggest along with plenty of fruit from the nose. These notes may make you think its sweet, but it’s dry, and, in fact, a bit tart. This wine is a far cry from any rosé archetypes, and I wouldn’t change a thing.

The distinguished Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas appellations are both characterized by significant percentages of Grenache, while in Tavel and Lirac the grape is used to make...

Syrah

We'd like to clear this up once and for all: the Shiraz grape is genetically identical to Syrah. Australian winemakers put "Shiraz" on the map (and, many would argue, vice versa), and the term is now used throughout much of the New World. Let it never be said, however, that Shiraz and Syrah are the same thing: the region in which the grape is grown determines much about the flavor of the wine it will produce. Typically, New World Shiraz yields bigger, fruitier wines than the the peppery Syrahs...
