TASTING INFO: from our W**e Director / Owner, John Roenigk…
“Domaine des Perrelles is a family estate located in Juliénas since 1877. Today the w**ery is run by 6th and 7th generation Martine & Laurent Perrachon, and their two sons. They continue the work of their ancestors, with 34 hectares of vines spread among 7 appellations: Beaujolais‑Villages, Juliénas, Morgon, Moulin à Vent, Fleurie, Chenas and most recently Saint‑Amour. In addition, they make a small amount of w**e from the Mâconnais, notably Pouilly Fuisée, and Crémant de Bourgogne. Their plans for the future, are to eliminate any use of chemical products, reduce intervention in the vineyards and continue to be ambassadors for the Beaujolais Crus and their new parcel-focused cuvées. Their farming philosophy is sustainable with organic processes.”

Gentlemen, please, no cologne or after shave; ladies, please no perfume!

TASTING INFO:
Entremanos takes a patient, traditional approach to tequila, producing small‑batch Blancos from 100% mature Blue Weber agave. Slowly cooked, naturally fermented with wild yeasts in the Valle de Amatitán, and double‑distilled without additives, these tequilas put the character of the agave and its place of origin squarely in the glass. For this tasting, we’ll explore four different expressions of Entremanos Blanco - together, they offer a fascinating look at how subtle variations in production and proof can reveal very different sides of the same agave.

In a bowl-shaped (Burgundy) glass: 1 (quite) large ice cube or ice sphere, pour in 6.8 ounces (the entire contents of a 200 ml bottle) of Fever Tree Club Soda, then 4 or more ounces (depending on the sharpness of the edge of the day) Crémant de Bourgogne or other preferred dry sparkling w**e, and 1½ to 2 ounces of Contratto Apéritif. Stir gently/briefly. Garnish, if you like, with a nice swath or large twist of fresh orange peel. Et voilà ! Consume with or without a sunset. Guaranteed to refresh all those who would be refreshed.”

“The calendar may say September, but Austin certainly doesn’t feel like fall yet. This Saturday we’ll explore four very different expressions of rosé, from Corsica and Provence to the Loire Valley and Mendocino. Rather than four variations on the familiar Provençal style, the tasting highlights how different grapes, climates and regions can produce rosés ranging from delicate and mineral to savory, structured and intensely refreshing.”

TASTING INFO:
A steamy weekend ahead in the ATX (yet thankful for recent rains!) C’mon downtown for a taste of four crisp whites that span the Italian peninsula - well-chilled to help cool your brow! We’ll start in the north in the Veneto with a lovely Soave featuring the Garganega grape then move eastward to Friuli-Venezia-Giulia for a white blend featuring Friuliano and Sauvignon Blanc. The back half of our journey takes us far south to Mount Etna in Sicily for a w**e composed of Carricante and Cattarato (can you smell the charred rock?) We’ll finish in the middle of the boot in Umbria with a delightful Orvieto white blended from Procanico and Grechetto. All of these w**es will offer you a taste of the “wonderful difference” of Italian grape varietals - most of these are only found in Italy!
