Winemaker Notes
Dark ruby red with aromas of ripe blackcurrants and hibiscus with subtle notes of vanilla, cinnamon and clove. Full-bodied on the palate, this wine burst with red bright juicy fruit flavors elegantly balanced with vanilla, coffee and baking spices

Not all that sparkles is gold, and not all wine that sparkles is made the same!
It's light, it's bright & it's full of bubbles- which for those of you playing the home game already narrows the field! But where in the world do these bubbles come from? Germany? France? California? Tasmania!?!

With so many amazing sparkling wines to choose from, what have Christi & Alex got in their glass this week?

Pop in your earbuds, pour yourself a glass, and join us as they Drink Something Amazing!

$14.99 average price

WINE MAKERS NOTES
Sparkling wine with pink “powder” color. It displays soft notes of red fruit to the nose, good acidity and freshness in the mouth. Very balanced fine wine. The sugar content is compensated by the acidity that makes the wine very fresh and enjoyable on the palate.

Acinum Wines
Acinum is a collection of exquisite wines selected by Fabrizio Pedrolli in order to showcase the best Italian territories and wineries. The goal is to represent to the United States the authentic heritage of indigenous grapes that makes Italian wine unique to the world.

This selection starts from the historical wine areas of Veneto, Negrar in Valpolicella and Montforte d’Alpone in Soave. Fabrizio Pedrolli is proud to present these wines, that are the result of a successful collaboration with the family of Edoardo Montresor, who cultivate the grapes, and the oenological expertise of Enrico Paternoster.

Christi & Alex are sharing a wine that is found close to home, but world's away in quality and class. It all starts from a grape with humble roots born in France that has found a home on the West Coast, and through the machinations of time & man, ended up in their glass. 

What wine are they trying this time? Why is it special? What's the story and what makes it something AMAZING?! 

Pop in the Earbuds, Fill a Glass, and join Christi & Alex as they Drink Something AMAZING!

Eola- Amity Hills AVA, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
100% Pinot Noir
13% ABV
Average Price - $63.99
RP96 WS94 W&S94 JS92

Winemaker Notes
Lingua Franca Estate Pinot Noir begins with a heady scent of roses, violets and raspberries and blackberries. On the palate, the wine is round and rich, with a silky texture and lingering flavors. The elegance of the wine is aided both by the cooler weather at harvest and by using less whole cluster than usual for this cuvée. 2019 is also the first vintage of Estate Pinot Noir that has no Pommard clone addition.

LINGUA FRANCA ESTATE
Lingua Franca was co-founded by Larry Stone, David Honig, and Dominique Lafon in 2015, inspired by the exceptional vineyard site in the Eola-Amity Hills that Larry bought in 2012. They soon hired Thomas Savre, a brilliant young winemaker with work experience at some of the best domaines in Burgundy and an inquisitive mind. All are committed to farming and winemaking practices that respect the environment, believing that complex and undisturbed ecosystems help to create the most complex and seductive wines.
