Aliane Wines
Note: The food pairing with Chef Matt Robers has been rescheduled for a later date.
Aline Thiebault of Aliane Wines will be my special guest this Friday night on Friday Night Flights.
Aline is owner of one of the best importers of small production, family owned French wines. Aline grew up in Burgundy in a family of artisan barrel makers and farmers. She remembers the four hour long brunches on weekends that revolved around wine. Later on after a career that began in banking, Aline began her wine career representing premium, family owned wineries from France.
Join us Friday night as we taste a sparkling wine from the Jura region, a Rosé from Bandol, and a Cru Beaujolais made of 100% Gamay. These wines are perfect for the Thanksgiving table!
Purchase any of the wines at The Bottle Shop or online. No minimum purchase necessary to join in on the fun. You can buy as many of the featured wines as you wish or just drink what you have on hand!
Click on the link below to join in on the fun wine tasting with your fellow winos, ahem, I meant wine lovers. I'll open up the room at 6:45pm and the program starts at 7pm.

Chateau Val D'Arenc Bandol 2019
Regular $28.99 SVP $25.99
A heck of a wine. 80% Mourvèdre, 10% Grenache, and 10% Cinsault. Certified organic. I certify it to be orgasmic too! Berries, citrus, zest, and floral notes all converge. It's delicate and smooth with lingering minerality on the finish. Absolutely one of my faves!
