As you prepare for your holiday parties this season don't forget to stop by the Belted Goat for some celebratory drinks. We have some treats to enjoy with friends and family, and a plethera of different styles of wine.
To start, we have the Terre Dorees Beaujolais Nouveau, 2010 in Magnum. This is seriously good juice and a crowd pleaser to boot. Jean Paul Brun, the owner and winemaker of the winery is perhaps one of the most talented people living between the Cote D'Or and th Northern Rhone, and this wine is made for celebration. So go ahead, pick up a bottle and enjoy.
If your in the mood for some Bubbly we have the Avinyo Cava Brut from Penedes in Spain. The winery is all family owned, and was started when the family patriarch Joan Esteve decided to plant some Macabeo, Parellada, and Xarel-lo wines 50 years ago to one day make wine for him and his family and friends. Now run by his two sons and his daughter, the winery has expanded but keeps solid roots. The wine is a blend of all three previously stated grapes, and ages on its lees for 18 to 20 months before being disgorged. It is refreshing, with lemon zest and green apple aromatics, great acidity, and addictive ripe fruit on the palate. This wine is perfect to start off any celebration, and is great with triple creme cheeses, and bloomy rind goat's milk cheeses.
This is, of course, just a little sample of what we have for you at the Belted Goat, but please stop by and explore some of the great wines that we have for your celebration - or a just any day you feel like celebrating.
