Four Wines for the Full Moon
For me, September has always been a month for reflection. The weather changes (ready when you are, New York), I turn another year older, and there's a shift of energy as we begin to think a little faster. New ideas percolate, and as the pace quickens, our vision expands towards the rest of the year. The holidays, the planning, the decisions. We channel this anxiety into forward motion and rarely is there another moment to reflect until maybe the last minutes of December 31st. The wines below are not difficult decisions; you can naturally add them to your list or shelves and move onto the next matter of business. They hold their own energy, which your patrons can enjoy under tonight's full moon or any moon of the season.
Domaine Sauvète Crémant de Loire NV
Blend of Chenin, Chardonnay and Cab Franc, complex bubbles at an amazing price!
La Collina Lambrusco Dell'Emilia Quaresimo 2015
Deep in color and spirit, this biodynamic Lambrusco is just down right delicious.
Iuli Nino 2012
I tried this Pinot Nero for the first time at the Peloton and was blown away by its freshness and spice...besides I'm feeling a strong synergy with fellow Virgo, Fabrizio's wines at the moment.
Ezio Cerruti Sol 2011
To finish with something sweet...Moscato Bianco: golden, floral, balanced...from one of our gems.
In the spirit of reflection, celebration, and autumnal momentum, I would get everything.
