EXPERT PICKS

@abcwineshayne Shayne Hebert, Central Florida Wine & Spirits Supervisor If Shayne Hebert weren’t in the wine business, he’d probably be a fly-fishing guide. Or kayaking. Or camping. Luckily, he is, because with 30 years of experience, Shayne has proven himself a master of the craft—and we do mean wine. Unsurprisingly, his preferred glass would be filled with a wine that can be traced back to its roots. His selections below should give you a taste of just that: terroir. l’Esprit de Chevalier Blanc

Block 808 Chardonnay Chalone

Domaine des Carteresses Tavel Rosé

The wine shows fresh, vibrant citrus and white peach aromas braced by the barrel with mouth-filling flavors of lime, herbs and grapefruit. With a mineral/ flint and waxy quality that a few years in bottle seems to have introduced, l’Esprit has a richness and depth that most Sauvignon Blancs dream of. In the words of proprietor Olivier Bernard, “Only a great terrior can produce a great wine.”

From one of the most unique, visually stunning AVAs in California, Block 808 is sourced from cooler, high altitude vineyards on the Gavlian Plateau, bordering the Pinnacles National Park near Salinas. Vineyards planted in volcanic/ limestone soils seem to capture the elegant, pure and subtle character of Chardonnay. Lighter, brighter, fresh and lifted, Block 808 offers clean and focused fruit without the dominance of oak, only partial malo for roundness and depth, and a vibrant acidity that makes it wonderful at the table.

The Domaine des Carteresses Tavel Rosé has been one of my go-to wines for years! Tavel, in the Southern Rhône Valley, is the rosé capital of France, and it is here that rosé can be a blend of a laundry list of local grapes, much like Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Here you have a blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Clairette, Picpoul and Syrah. Chill a few bottles down nice and cold, bring out the heavy bowls of garlicky Tapenade and unwind while the bouillabaisse simmers.

$32.99 $29.99

$21.99 $19.99

Château Acker-Perreau $11.99

$10.99

A blend primarily of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a lovely entry level priced Bordeaux that offers the earthy/ fruity style that typifies the region. Ripe with depth of color and flavor, this red bursts with fruit on the palate.

$13.99 $12.99

Girls in the Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Octopoda Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville

$19.99

$42.99

$17.99

The Girls in the Vineyard Cabernet typifies the ripe and pure style of Cabernet from Lake County. The ‘Girls’ are in fact the vines. Winemaker and co-owner Rob McDonald says of the 2015 Girls Cabernet, “Cassis and bramble fruit with a hint of Mother Earth and sufficient cocoa to make it interesting. It tastes like Cabernet. Nuanced and satisfying, you will not be disappointed in flavors that pour out of this bottle.”

$38.99

We hit a home run during our Napa trip last summer with Napa red wines, especially Cabernet. The Octopoda wins the award for ‘Best New Label Design’ in my opinion, but the wine is a hit as well. Sourced from Napa’s famed Oakville sub-AVA, Octopoda is a dense, opulent Cabernet in a big frame with firm tannins. Ripe and soft enough not to scare anyone off, but still a formidable glass of wine.

Bonterra: 2016 American Winery of the Year Congratulations to our friends at Bonterra for being selected by Wine Enthusiast as the 2016 American Winery of the Year!

Tequila Talk Three things to know about this popular spirit, plus a break down of the differences between blanco, reposado and añejo. Origin Tequila must be made in Mexico where the vast majority is produced in Jalisco.

Young vs. Old Young tequilas have more agave flavor which means they have a spicy, earthy and fiery palate. Aged tequilas are richer and smoother with vanilla and wood flavors.

Blue Agave Blue Agave is the base ingredient in tequila. It takes eight years to grow, and can only be used once.

Your Guide to Brunch Cigars Paring Guide

Macanudo Gold Label Tudor Connecticut Toro | $9.29 per stick

Have a smokin’ good brunch with these 3 tips for pairing piles of cigars with fan-favorite brunch libations.

1 Ashton Classic Corona Connecticut | $7.99 per stick

Montecristo White Series Vintage Connecticut No. 3 | $9.99 per stick

Sparkling Wine

The delicate taste of sparkling wine needs a cigar that won’t overpower. Choose a cigar that is light-bodied and mild.

2 Champagne Cocktails

Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story Cameroon Perfecto | $5.99 per stick

Drew Estate Natural English Maduro Toro | $7.49 per stick

Champagne cocktails call for a mild to medium cigar that is delicate enough to complement the Champagne, but can hold its own against whatever juice or spirit has been added. With subtle sweetness and a hit of pepper and leather, cigars with Cameroon wrappers are the perfect pairing.

3 The Bloody Mary

Drew Estate Nica Rustica Short Robusto | $4.99 per stick

If it’s hair of the dog you are seeking then grab an equally inspiring cigar. A strong cigar, especially one full of peppery Nicaraguan tobacco, goes great with a Bloody Mary.
