WOW: A Thanksgiving Party Pleaser!

WOW: Wine of the Week


Our Favorite Thanksgiving Party Pleaser!

Vietti Barbera d'Asti Tre Vigne 2010
Remember that saying, "Less is More?"  This week Uncorked is going to let this wine, it's price and the value speak for itself.

From the Rhone Valley comes a $12.99 Cotes du Rhone that is a TRUE crowd pleaser.  It is the perfect accompaniment to food - or perfect with no food at all.

Product Description

The Moillard family has been cultivating vines in Nuits-Saint-Georges since the French Revolution. The arrival of the railway in Nuits-Saint-Georges opened up new commercial opportunities and the Maison Moillard began its activity as wine merchants in 1850.
In 1870, Symphorien Moillard’s son died while serving with the French Army in Algeria. His sister, Jeanne Moillard, took over the family trade and continued the tradition of the Maison Moillard.
In 1873, she married Maurice Thomas, himself an owner of Burgundy vineyards.
From generation to generation, the Thomas family extended the properties, buying up precious plots and developing the trade.

Moillard "Les Violettes" Cotes du Rhone 2011 Tasting Notes

"Easy to drink. Sour cherries until it opens up. Let it open up for an hour or two and you get wonderful hints of barnyard on the palette." - Winemaker Notes
