Although Carole Decouard will be unable to join us, we have rescheduled the free tasting of French wines from her portfolio with MISA Imports for Thursday, February 13th from 4pm until 6:30pm. Nearly every wine being poured that day is new to the store though we have worked with all of the producers before. 4 red Rhônes, 2 red Burgundies, 1 Beaujolais, 1 Sancerre and 1 white Burgundy. One of the red Burgundies is from Poulleau, the Bourgogne Rouge that was all the rage last summer and into the fall. We will also have an extra wine that night, a red Burgundy under $20(!) that really impressed us. You should make every reasonable effort to be here! The lineup is as follows: Raimbault-Pineau Sancerre 2023 Domaine des Granges Pouilly-Vinzelles 2021 Domaine J. Boulon Beaujolais Supérieur Vieilles Vignes 2023 Henri Latour et Fils Hautes Côtes de Beaune Rouge 2022 Domaine Poulleau Père et Fils Chorey-lès-Beaune 2022 Domaine Palon Vacqueyras 2022 Guillaume Gonnet Rasteau ‘Le Maestro’ 2020 Guillaume Gonnet Gigondas ‘Le Mentor’ 2020 Château de Vaudieu Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2021 . . . #misaimports #winetastingexperience #nolawineevent #nolawineshop #magazinestreet #neworleanswine #frenchwinetasting

The Gorro Vinho Verde label illustration is the work of Julião Pinto Leite, an award-winning architect and gifted illustrator from Porto, Portugal. The artwork aims to capture the vineyards' closeness to the Atlantic Ocean, translating that connection into a human form. The perfect symbol was found in the figure of an old fisherman—those devoted men of the sea who are a familiar presence along the northern coast, casting their nets and selling their catch at local markets. Their weathered faces and enduring spirit mirror the character of the wine, reflecting its unique connection to the sea. This wine opens with light citrus aromas, offering a bright and refreshing nose. On the palate, it reveals more weight and texture, creating a smooth and balanced mouthfeel. Free of any fizz or sweetness, the wine finishes with a subtle hint of salinity and mineral notes, adding a refined, coastal character to the experience. . . . #winelabeldesign #vinhoverde #behindthelabel #winesofportugal #juliãopintoleite #portugalboutiquewinery #nolawinemerchant

Over the last few weeks we have worked to finalize our recommendations for wines that will pair with the traditional Thanksgiving meal. The last of the wines just arrived. The endcaps are stocked, and our wine list along with the reasons they were chosen are all on our website. This year the prices range from $20-$31. Most importantly, we are opening the wines this weekend for tasting. Half will be opened on Friday and the remainder on Saturday, an opportunity to try them before you buy them! . . . #thanksgivingwinepairings #winesforthanksgiving #shoplocal #uptownneworleans #magazinestreet #supportlocal #neworleans #showmeyournola #followyournola #nolawinemerchant
