Hiya!

Is it true that the old mercury is going to hover near 100 next week? Ouch.

Well the timing of this one should be a welcome relief, and an "oh! We loved that wine last year!!"

Chateau de Rey Si's Plau 2017

We just landed a nice payload of this a few weeks ago but figured in wouldn't be appreciated until at least mid-summer. But, here it is anyway. White. Ice Cold. Refreshing. Slightly Spritzy.

And just $10.

This was one of our most popular wines last summer. Let the frenzy begin.

Si's Plau is made in a typical wine style in Catalonia (in this case, the French side near Perpignan)--an exuberant, youthful, slightly spritzy white, with low alcohol (important) and ready to drink anytime. We've sold wines like this from Spain for the prior few years and waltzed them right out the door. We expect nothing less right here.

Chateau de Rey has become a real mainstay at the shop. Cathy Sisquelle's red and rosé (plus our house favorite dry Muscat) have hit many recylcing bins over the past few years, but this summer white takes the cake. Made from early ripening grapes like Macabeo and Grenache Blanc and bottled with a scoche of trapped carbonics, the wine is cristalline and aromatic with fresh cut flowers, lemon/lime, and nectarines.

Cathy wants you to drink it ice cold as an apéro, or with a big plate of fresh seafood. Or, because you just need something to unscrew, pour a glass, and then rest the cool bottle against the back of your neck!
