Industry Series | June 2nd & June 9th
June 2nd - Burgundy
We’re doing something different this week for #terroirtuesday to make benchmark Burgundy accessible to folks in the industry. Let us know you work in wine/restaurants and we’ll get you a complimentary tasting flight of Dauvissat and Roulot. No strings attached but we highly recommend pairing it with a plate of truffle ricotta ravioli, brown butter, spinach and hazelnuts. While you’re here you should also try the blind tasting flight; it won’t be Nikolaihof and Boncie this week but we promise it will be awesome.
A couple treats from the cellar tonight. Industry swing through, this week’s flight is on us again because you deserve to drink 10 year old Bea Bianco
June 9th - Bea Bianco

We are featuring a flight of three of our favorite Provençal Rosés with up to a decade in bottle. While this region has been at the epicenter of the explosion of the rose market in recent years, these wines bear little resemblance to the ocean of supermarket rose from Provence.
