Fall, with its changing leaves and crisp air, evokes the spirit
of Rhone wine. October 22-28 we’re
featuring one of the best producers from the region, Chateau La Nerthe. Join us
as we savor two incredible selections from this acclaimed producer.
With over nine centuries of history behind their labels,
Château La Nerthe is clearly one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s most respected
estates. Under the guidance of winemaker Ralph Garcin, the Château La
Nerthe, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Blanc, Rhone, France ($11 3oz / $22 6oz / $88 per
bottle) offers a rare opportunity to sample the elegant white wines of
the southern Rhone Valley. The hand harvested Grenache Blanc, Roussanne,
Clairette and Bourboulenc offer pear and citrus on the nose, followed by fresh
peach and pineapple on the palate. Pair
it with our Mahi Mahi with Mustard Vinaigrette.
Using certified organic fruit from 40-year old grapevines,
the Château La Nerthe, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Rouge, Rhone, France ($12 3oz
/ $24 6oz / $96 per bottle) is a wine fit for the Pope. Rich and complex, it shows deeply rooted
notes of black fruit with sweet and savory spices. The palate is vibrant and
fresh, with complex layers of blackberry, black cherry, and silky tannins,
creating an incredible pairing for most beef or wild game, specifically our
Signature Bone-In Steaks.
Wine Tip: Next
month we have the honor of hosting Pursued by Bear owner Kyle MacLachlan for a
very special wine dinner at Joe’s Chicago. Be sure to visit Joes.net to see “What’s
