The Wine Crate

Tasting Notes from the Curator

Essence of vine-veined lands flows through the wines within The Wine Crate. The curtain rises on a Burgundy Pinot Noir, where cherry notes pirouette on the palate, leaving traces of earthy whispers from the terroir famed for its noble rot. In stark contrast, a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon belts out a rhapsody of bold berries and oak, a testament to the sun drizzled generosity of its homeland. Not to be outshone, a Riesling from Mosel’s steep slate terraces twines minerality and a tinge of sweet apple, a highwire act balancing the enigmatic acidity.

Pairings & Suggestions

• Delight in a Bordeaux blend with a succulent beef bourguignon, the tannins gracefully cutting through the richness of the dish.
• Savor a crisp Chardonnay alongside a creamy lobster bisque, where the wine’s acidity dances in harmony with the soup’s opulence.
• Cherish a glass of vintage Champagne with a delicate offering of oysters, the effervescence complimenting the briny treasures of the sea.
• Revere a bold Shiraz as it partners with the chargrilled symphony of a lamb shank, echoing the smoky notes with its peppery finish.

  Monarchical Whispers in a Crate

The genteel clink of Bordeaux-filled glasses resonates with tales of regal feasts where such wine crates, bearing the gifts of sun-kissed vineyards, graced tables of monarchs. A crate from Chateau Margaux, for instance, whispers of a revolution, not of battles, but of the land’s mastery in yielding a wine so commanding that it crowned the vineyard as one of the First Growths, a hero in its own rite.

Storage Instructions

Maintain the Wine Crate in a cool, stable environment, away from direct sunlight, where temperatures consistently hover around 55-57 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring the whispered tales of the wines are perfectly preserved.
