Riesling cont., French Pinot Noir, and More!

Greetings from Quarantine Island - we hope you're staying safe and healthy!

Our week of Riesling continues, with 20% off all bottles. In addition to our house Riesling (Good Karma, from Finger Lakes NY), we also have a few bottles of the delicious Vibrations ($28), which is an Alsace AOC Riesling. Alsace, in northern France, is the home of some of the world's best Rieslings. They generally tend to be dry in style, with floral notes and stone fruit. If you're looking for something off-dry, why not the Maximin Grunhaus Monopol Riesling ($22) from Mosel, Germany? The very slight sweet notes in this Qualitatswein do an excellent job of offsetting Riesling's naturally high acid.

If you're in the mood for something else, maybe a red, all our bottles that are $50 or more are still 20% off. Looking for a quality French Pinot Noir? Why not the Maison Harbour Gevery Chambertin? The average price for this wine on Vivino is $89 ... and we have it for $71 before the discount! Gevrey-Chambertin is one of the two most famous Burgundy villages for Pinot Noir, along with Nuits-Saint-Georges. In addition to delicious strawberry and cherry notes, you'll also find the earthiness that fine-quality Burgundy is known for.

Last but not least - if you have any questions about our wines or even wine in general, please feel free to call or come by. If we haven't met yet, I'm Tommy Trull, the new wine director for Seaboard. I love to talk wine and cheese (and movies and classical music and theatre, if you're into such things.)

Take care, and we appreciate your support!

- Tommy
