2017 Viognier
Jeff’s Corner 6-7-18 Howdy Howdy Howdy A major goal in my wine career has been to demystify it and make it simple, approachable, and enjoyable for everyone on any level. I’ve also waged constant war on the elitism and snottery (a new word) that is often associated with this wonderful beverage. Sometimes this isn’t easy, especially with the incredibly intimidating names of grape varieties and wine regions. We have all struggled with pronouncing words like Pouilly-Fuisse, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Mourvedre, Gewurztraminer, and, of course, Viogner.
Thank You for Your Service (revisit)
This Blog is always worth re-visiting. Remembering all who have sacrificed for us to have the life we lead today. Jeff’s Corner Three days ago last Sunday, while working my last shift in the now old Main Street location, an older gentleman walked up the two steps with a little help from a cane and a metal right leg from the knee down.
2016 Mosaic
Jeff’s Corner 5-24-18 Hey, Hey, Hey, Today is Mosaic Day!!! It’s been several vintages now that Mosaic has been my favorite GCV wine, so much so that it’s gotten to the point that I’ve been trying to trade my Serendipity and Bellissimo to other staff members for their Mosaic. This is kind of like trading a Micky Mantle rookie card for a Hank Aaron, it really come down to whose your favorite because they are all great players. All our proprietary wines have really cool names, but once again Mosaic is my favorite. (I wonder if that’s true with most of us, Is our favorite wine also our favorite moniker?) So, before we take a look at the new 2016 Mosaic, let’s check out the word itself.
