November
Wine Club Picks of the Month
La Griveliere Vaqueras, Cote du Rhone France
Bright ruby color with a delicate bouquet of Herbs-de Provence, red fruits, and a touch of cinnamon. Dark berry fruit is immediate on the palate with a smooth and elegant.
La Griveliere is a blend of native grapes cultivated in south-central France along the Rhône River. Well-balanced with aromas of red fruits and spices with mild hints of vanilla and earth. Rich, full-bodied and round in the mouth. The finish is long with mild tannins. Each varietal is fermented separately in concrete tanks, then aged in a combination of concrete and oak for 6 months, followed by 18 months in bottle.
Beautiful with a smoked pork-shoulder or a rich fall stew.
Cantina La Vis Chardonnay, Italy
A young but complex wine, it possesses a distinctive elegance and freshness. Pale yellow in colour with traces of green, it has a pleasing bouquet and fruity notes of Golden apple and pineapple. Hand harvested & aged in stainless steel w/6mos resting on the lees makes this a perfect pairing for roasted halibut or a rich creme based pasta for the fall!

Autre Monde's wine club is a great bargain. Our favorite is often the latest one. Like this month's 2018 Lavina, a Spanish blend of Tempranillo and Merlot. If there's any extra we would love to buy more bottles.- Deborah Donovan (wine club member)
