' Big Three Wine Club
It is time for the first BIG THREE WINE CLUB shipment of 2013.  To celebrate a brand new year, why not enjoy brand new wines!  In this shipment club members will receive two new releases and one special library selection from the Croze cellar.  Club members will get a chance to try the 2012 Croze, Suzanne K, Viognier and the 2010 Croze Cabernet Sauvignon Port before they are released for distribution! 



New Releases


2012 Croze, Suzanne K, Viognier

2012 "Suzanne K" is an elegant, complex wine with delicate floral aromas of white flowers and rich stone fruit. On the palate, this wine shows peach and apricot notes and a subtle minerality that adds depth. Swirling the wine in a glass releases a whole bouquet of fresh cut roses and subtle spices which are also detected on the tongue. The finish is crisp and elegant, creating an experience that reflects CROZE philosophy of balance and finesse..


2010 Croze Cabernet Sauvignon Port

Some would say we are crazy for taking Cabernet Sauvignon from one of the most famous vineyards in Rutherford and making port.  However, we kind-of have a thing for varietal port.  And if you want to make the best port, you have to start with the best grapes.
   

Library Selection

2005 Croze Cabernet Sauvignon, De Coninck Vineyard

This vintage was hand picked for the club shipment due to the way it is showing right now.  This wine is spectacular and the aromas and bouquet have really come to the forefront.  I love the subtle floral and spice notes that really draw you in.  Pour a glass of this wine and focus on the aromas each time you take a sip.  It continues to evolve in the glass and shows great complexity.






In addition to three club shipments a year at 15% off, as a BIG THREE club member you'll always receive 10% off on two bottles, 15% off six bottles, and 20% off 12 bottles. 


Viognier Cheese Pairing
Viognier's floral notes seem to pair best with aged cow's or goat's milk cheeses.  Try it with bloomy rind and washed rind cheeses.  Avoid sheep's milk.  Our recommendation is Brillat-Savarin Petit or Livarot from Normandy.

To our very best customers, friends, and family, we say cheers!  Here's to a fantastic 2013!  In Vino Veritas!
