Lambert de Seyssel Petit Royal

I served this lovely sparkling wine from the Savoie for my wedding celebration. Lucky for us,
 there is still some available. Get it while you can.

Bottle  42.          Glass  10.

Scarpetta Prosecco

We bring Prosecco out for any excuse to celebrate.  It’s simpler than Champagne and infinitely better
then most sparkling wines costing much more.
There is “meh” Prosecco and there is beautifully dry and aromatic Prosecco, this is the latter.
 Try it, you’ll love it.      

Bottle  35.          Glass  9.

Aval French Cider

There are few beverages more refreshing than dry, hard cider. This version from Brittany is both
crisp and delicate, with lively dry fruit and a lovely mineral driven finish. Feeling adventurous? Try a
 Breton Kir, a lovely drink combining French cider, creme de cassis and a dash of Calvados.

Henri Perrusset 2018 Mâcon-Villages

Mâcon-Villages can be a delicious little quaffer or flat, watery, insipid Chardonnay…basically not so
hot. This version, imported by Kermit Lynch, is definitely on the delicious side with vibrant,
crisp fruit. Ready to pair up with just about any fish or vegetable dish you’ll choose.
 Absolutely sublime.

Loveblock 2022  Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough TEE

This organically produced new Sauvignon Blanc has no added sulphur and instead uses green tea extract to prevent oxidation. The wine is fresh and mineral laden with flavors of juicy clementines and fresh garden herbs like basil and fennel.

Bottle  50.          Quartino 17.75.       Glass  12.

Mittnacht 2023 Cuvée Gyotaku Vin d’Alsace

Gyotaku is always a huge hit at the Café.. It’s a blend of 45% Pinot Blanc, 23% Pinot Gris, 16% Gewurztraminer, 8% Riesling and 8% Muscat. Stone fruit flavors are up front along with tart green apple followed by a zingy minerality. Although the wine was conceived to pair with sushi and sashimi, it pairs nicely with salmon rillettes and pumpkin squash lasagna.

Château d’Estoublon 2023 Roseblood Rosé

A blend of 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Cinsault, 5% Rolle (Vermentino), Roseblood is

not a simple little quaffer, but rather a medium bodied, complex wine with flavors of tart cherry,
green herbs and floral notes.This is some delicious pink wine pleasure!

Château Sérilhan 2019 Saint Estephe

I love a good Bordeaux this time of year. It is a nice treat and helps makes the cold, damp grayness of
Ohio tolerable. Inky, black fruit is followed by hints of cedar and eucalyptus. Pamper yourself. Ohio’s
 winter months can be be brutal on your psyche.

Field Recordings 2022 Pinot Noir Edna Valley

We are excited to team up with Andrew Jones of
Field Recordings. This Edna Valley Pinot Noir is a fantastic pairing with Winds Cafe dishes. It’s
elegant but bold with black cherry fruit, spicy
 pepper and a hint of wood smoke in the finish. We couldn’t be more excited and pleased with this wine.

Bodegas y Vinedos Raul Perez 2021 Ultreia St Jacques

If you love Spanish wines, this wine from the Bierzo is probably on your radar. Made from  Mencia vines planted between 1900  and 1940, the flavor profile is all crushed black berry and tart black currant fruit followed by an herbal and espresso finish. If you’re cautious about an unfamiliar wine, at least ask your server for a taste. I guarantee you’ll want a glass.

Alta Vita 2022 Cannanou di Sardegna 

This is my “go to” comfort wine from Sardegna, the second largest Italian island behind Sicily.
The Cannanou grape is widely agreed to be Grenache and  is know for its antioxidant
qualities, perhaps one of the many reasons Sardegna is one of the world’s blue zones.
The wine is medium bodied with rich, plummy, dark fruit and pairs with just about any red wine dish on the menu.
