Wine of the Month Club @ D.Schuler’s
/We have had a soft roll-out of the Wine Club over the last couple of weeks; now we’re full-go starting in May. It goes like this – sign up with your email, phone number and name. Every time you buy either a single bottle of the wines of the month (WoM) or min. 3 bottles you get 10% off the marked price. Give us your name at the register and we’ll discount the wine. Simple huh?
We’re offering 3 very nice wines for May WoM:
Chardonnay
Harken 2020 Barrel-Fermented CA 2020 |
Shelf 12.99/11.69 Club Cost
Barrel fermentation makes this a very rich, creamy Chard with surprising balance between all the oak and the big orange & tangerine sweet fruits. Not for the faint of heart, you either love big fat Chardonnay or you don’t - this one is a cocktailing bottle, not so much with dinner.
Pinot Grigio
Ornella Molon – Venetia, IT 2021
13.79/12.41
Crispy mouthwatering acids & a light, feminine mouthfeel, tasting green apple, lemons with minerality. Grown in ancient vineyards near Venice
Red Blend
Jax Vineyards Y3 “Taureau” – Napa 2020
28.99 / 26.09
Red Flowers on the nose. Bright and lively up front with a nice freshness, this blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc has some serious stamina in its tense floral notes over the sweetness of its light to medium oak. The tannins are soft and polished beneath the blackberry and black cherries. Your grilled beef should be so lucky to be paired with this Taurus of a bull wine – burgers work just as well as ribeyes!
May is also Michigan Wine Month – you’ll probably see it advertised everywhere in restaurants, all sponsored by the Michigan Wine Council. They really do a great job of promoting our fine state’s grape farmers. Check out some new offerings in the store from 2 Lads, Aurora, Verterra or others. We also bought most of our annual allocation of Brys Estate wines. All fresh vintage bottles - the excellent Dry Riesling is 100% estate-grown fruit from their 8.3 acres on the Old Mission Peninsula.
Cheers,
Eric
