BarnautGrandCruBlancdeNoirsNV
Pop the cork in January on a bottle of Barnaut Grand Cru Blanc de Noirs NV for our "Good Things Come In Threes" concert. This Pinot Noir based Champagne pairs perfectly with EDVARD GRIEG's "Lyric Suite, Op. 54." With visions of mischievous fairies and moss covered forest floors, notes of strawberry and raspberry shine through atop the yeasty nose
Country: France | Region: Champagne | Appellation: Bouzy
CostadiBussiaBarolo2019
Continue to spice up your January enjoying Costa di Bussia Barolo 2019 also for our "Good Things Come In Threes" concert. Aromas of rose petals and sour cherry lead to the classic spice typical of Nebbiolo.
LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN's "Concerto for Violin, Cello and Piano in C Major, Op. 56" pairs with the excellent harmony of flavors and tannins, both silky and persistent with a lingering finish.
Country: Italy | Region: Piedmonte | Appellation: Barolo

Sip on Domaine de l'Ecu Cuvée Classic Muscadet 2022 acompanying CLAUDE DEBUSSY's "La mer" and you can almost taste the sea in this Muscadet. Aromas of ripe pear with dried wildflowers and a salty minerality lead to mouth coating stone fruit flavors with a citrus finish.
