Box: September 2023

Back to Work Edition

Time to go back to work.

As much fun and relaxation as we had, the reality is summer is over and the winter coats in the shops don’t look so ridiculous anymore.  To help with the depression, we are here with a variety of French wines that will sooth you over the back to “X” hump 😊

Our whites are a combo of varietal Sauvignons and cuvees on a sauvignon base. This means fresh and clean wines that will spice up dinners of fish and light pasta. Perfect for a school night or just a Netflix evening. We also included something not at all like us, a semi sweet white from Gros Manseng that is a perfect match for a spicy Indian curry, or your mother in law who will just love it.

Our reds are a pretty bunch full of spicy southern grapes and tannin. Be it Cabernet Franc, Merlot of Tannat, these are intense dark purple wines that open up into a bouquet of flavor after a few minutes in the glass. Lovely with a meal, or a sofa.

If “Relax” is the drug that a September back to it needs, these wines will do the trick
