PRINCETON, NJ Restaurant Dining Guide Announcement
Holiday Party Wine For Under $10 at Princeton Corkscrew
|
The Holidays
 I love the winter holiday season. Friends and family gathered together in a warm, cheerful home, forgetting the chill outside. Savory cuisine fills the air as I decide which wine will best accent the offerings! Needless to say, when my friends and family get together, we go through a lot of wine. So when I find great values, I am not only happy for Corkscrew patrons, but for myself as well! To find a wine that is affordable, drinkable with "wow, that's great" power; that's a wine lover's dream. Well, Domaine de L'Ameillaud 2009 VdP d'Orange is my dream wine. |

The Wish
 Many of you may recognize the name of this producer. I have worked with them since the inception of the Corkscrew back in 1996. Consistently, they have released wines with soul, character, depth and complete drinkability. Last spring when I was in France, I met with Nick and Sabine Thompson. I tasted through their estate wines, and fell in love with one I had never tasted before; the one from Orange. The wine was incredible. I soon found out that this wine was only for people who visited their estate. Well, I was determined to have this wine in the store for my customers to enjoy! The wine just arrived in the shop a few weeks ago, and it is absolutely spectacular! |
The Gift
So remember the old blend? Primarily Grenache with equal parts of Syrah and Carignan blended in to round out the fruits. This wine from Orange, has a higher percentage of Syrah, making the wine a bit brighter, a little smoother, but still as dangerously drinkable!
I brought home a couple cases for the holidays and I noticed this wine was the first to go! At a spectacular price of $9.50 per bottle, $8.55 when you buy a case, you don't want to miss having this dream wine at your holiday table!
Enjoy,
Laurent
