The Wine of the Week UNDER 15! - Chateau Bel-Air Cotes de Bourg

Pop it open. You can smell the value immediately, notes of espresso and chocolate, earthy structure arranges intense and rich blackberries with velvety tannins on the mid-palate, and the finish will last as long as you let it. If you need a risk-free Bordeaux, this is one of the best I have had under $20, much less $15.

Valentine’s Day Tasting

This week we have Stuart Gwin from Pinnacle Imports.

He will be bringing in a Rose’ Prosecco  from Fantinel (the first one I have ever tasted) that is perfect for the Valentine’s Holiday. We will also have an Oregon Pinot Gris from A to Z Wineworks, Louis Latour’s Pouilly Fuisse, and The Wine of the Week UNDER $15, Vinosia Essenza di Primitivo.

Find a Valentine and bring them out to the Pig to taste some great wines!

Remember, our Weekly Wine Tastings are always complementary.

The Wine of the Week UNDER $15! - Vinosia Essenza di Primitivo

Primitivo is essentially Zinfandel in its Italian incarnation. Rich and full bodied, this wine gives off a wide spectrum of aromas; intense blackberry envelopes the palate, woodland earth provides lovely structure, and the finish is rustic and thick. A delicious wine that instantly captivated me, and I’m sure will do the same for you.
