Off-Dry Molitor Riesling Sale
Nerd Alert Featurette: Cantine Lonardo


 
Half the Sweetness, All the Flavor
 
Up to 10% Off of Off-Dry Molitors
 
(It’s A Mouthful You’ll Love)
 

With broad holdings across of some of finest vineyards in the Mosel, Molitor crafts dozens of highly lauded Rieslings each vintage. He believes that every single sub-parcel and selective pick should be vinified to its utmost potential. The result is a deeply rewarding if sprawling portfolio.
 
An excellent way to explore this incredible portfolio is by focusing on the bone-dry Rieslings, known as “Trocken” in German. These contain no (or no perceptible) residual sugar. Molitor indicates the sweetness level by capsule color, and dry is white. This style is food-friendly yet also enjoyable as an aperitif.

Elvio Cogno
 

Elvio Cogno saw the unrivaled potential of the Ravera cru long before it became a hallowed name among Barolo insiders.
 
Born and raised in Novello, the village where one finds the famous vineyard, Cogno comes from a long line of grape growers in the region. He was the first in his family to turn the dream of winemaking into a reality. For years, he collaborated with Marcarini (including crafting the legendary 1964 vintage from the Brunate vineyard, one of the first Barolos released as a single vineyard).
 
In 1990, he purchased Cascina Nuova, an under-performing but historic estate in Novello, and started making classically-styled wines under his own name from the Ravera cru.

Alsace is for Lovers <3

Alsace is easily appreciated and far too often overlooked. To be certain, there are die-hard fans of the dry and often powerfully aromatic wines. But the casual wine drinker might only explore the pleasant, entry-level field blends. Now it the time to expand your wine horizons.
 
The first step to appreciating Alsatian wines is understanding the unique climate and soils of the region. The area is typically quite dry and warm due to the sheltering influence of the Vosges. This leads to a concentration and power to the wines that should appeal to many new-world, white wine lovers.
 
Aside from that initial aromatic wow factor, the wines hold layers of complexity, especially from Grand Cru vineyards.
