Eat, drink, and be merry!
The 2015 Rosé Garden Party was a smash hit! More on that in a moment, but while we're on the subject of eating, drinking, and being merry, allow us to remind you about the upcoming Meinklang dinner at Garland in Raleigh! There are a few seats left, and we're really excited about what's in store! Read more in the Meinklang dinner box below...
Rosé Accomplished!
We'd like to extend our sincerest gratitude for the marvelous company provided by all of our great customers and comrades in pink who attended our second Rosé Garden Party! Thanks for brightening our Saturday and indulging in rosy refreshment, sensational seafood, and charming cheeses with us! There were some truly sharp outfits and amazing hats, but we can select only one winner (or pair of winners) for each store. If you see your picture below, you are the very garden-party-est, and we have a $100 Enomatic card with your name on it! Thanks again to everyone who came. Our customers' thirst and enthusiasm for delightful, dry rosé has already enabled us to donate $2,500 to the Chapel Hill Breast Cancer Foundation this year!
The pink oasis that refreshes our mouths and nourishes our souls is once again in bloom! The Rosé Garden has arrived. As always, a portion of each and every bottle of rosé sold will be donated to the fight against breast cancer! We recently donated $2,500 from last year's rosé sales thanks to you!!

This Saturday from 12 to 3 PM
"try before you buy" at
our FREE tasting
 w/ Domaine Tripoz
Hailing from the Maconnais in the southern reaches of France's Burgundy, the wines of Céline & Laurent Tripoz represent not only some of our favorite and most representative values from Burgundy, they can also be counted among the original "Wine Authorities Selections" - wines that we've had imported especially so that we can share them with you. These lovely wines can't be found anywhere else in this part of the world! Join us on Saturday as we celebrate the arrival of a pair of new selections from the estate and remember why Burgundy is one of the most beloved wine regions on the planet!
Céline & Laurent Tripoz
Macon-Vinzelles 2011
"Les Morandes"
{biodynamic} 100% Chardonnay
(Southern Burgundy, France)
CLEAN & UNOAKED, FRESH CITRUS, MINERAL & ACACIA
From Celine & Laurent Tripoz, who are literally "garage winemakers", comes this purest, cleanest expression of Chardonnay unfettered by oak aging or man-made chemicals of any sort (the vineyards are entirely organic - indeed biodynamic)! Mouthwatering and delicious with great...

Bourgogne Blanc 2011
"Les Chenes"
{biodynamic} 100% Chardonnay (Southern Burgundy, France)
ENCHANTED ORCHARD, WAXY LEES & GENTLE TOAST
Though this cuvée from our friends, Céline & Laurent Tripoz, may take its name from the fact that it sees a short period of oak aging in a combination of new and older barrels, oak is far from this gorgeous white's foremost defining characteristic. Brimming with a...

Crémant de Bourgogne
Brut
{biodynamic} 100% Chardonnay
(Southern Burgundy, France)
NUTTY MATURITY, GOLDEN APPLE & PEAR, BRIGHT ACIDITY, VERY FINE MOUSSE
This micro-production cremant is crafted like many of the finest grower Champagnes, and it shows. Rich, mature, and elegantly vinous, it is perfectly at home at the table, and not to be delegated merely to celebrations. Lush and rich, this is great sparkling wine that happens to be...
{biodynamic} 100% Pinot Noir
(Southern Burgundy, France)
PRETTY & DELICATE. CHERRY/RASPBERRY & EARTH
This is authentic, classic, old-school Burgundy showing pure Pinot Noir subtlety and depth. Made from grapes grown in the biodynamic vineyards of wife & husband team Celine & Laurent Tripoz.
