Since 1973, Cakebread Cellars has been paving the way for
lovers of California wine. Known
internationally for their Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, Cakebread is
considered one of the most successful wineries in Napa Valley. As part of our upcoming Sommelier Series,
Joe’s will be pouring the following selections, February 22-28:
True to the style of Sauvignon Blanc, the Cakebread
Cellars, Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley, California ($15 6oz) is fresh
and fragrant, with aromatic notes of
grapefruit and citrus. On the palate, the wine exhibits vibrant melon and
gooseberry flavors, creating a great pairing for oysters on the half shell.
Sourced primarily from the cool-climate Carneros wine
region, located in the southern portion of Napa Valley, the Cakebread
Cellars, Chardonnay, Napa Valley, California ($9 3oz / $18 6oz) offers
notes of apple and nectarine on the
palate, followed by refreshing mineral
and spicy oak tones. This rich wine
makes a delicious match for our Broiled Swordfish.
Located approximately 100 miles north of San Francisco, the
Anderson Valley has become a wine growing region synonymous with world class
Pinot Noir. Bright raspberry and
strawberry on the nose are followed by deeper notes of blackberry and plum on
the palate. Cakebread Cellars,
Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley, California ($11 3oz / $22 6oz) pairs
perfectly with Joe’s Salmon Au Poive.
As one of the pivotal characters in the development of
Cabernet Sauvignon in Napa Valley, Jack Cakebread has created a nation of
devoted followers to his namesake labels. The Cakebread Cellars, Cabernet
Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California ($14 3oz / $28 6oz) is a shining
example of over four decades of dedication to quality wine production in Napa
Valley. Bold notes of cassis and blackberry lend themselves nicely to Joe’s
Signature Bone-In Filet Mignon.
Wine Tip:
Temperature is very important when it comes to properly serving & enjoying
a glass of wine. As a general rule; white wine should be served between 45˚ to
55˚F, and red wine between 55˚ to 65˚F. Anything outside of this range could negatively
affect the flavor of your wine.
