National Chardonnay day! — 8 years ago
Lots of raspberries and cloves on the nose. The palate adds plums and blueberries with some allspice. Very nice Merlot for National Merlot Day! — 9 years ago
Cheers-ing to National Drink Wine Day...a day late, oops! But so worth the wait! Another phenomenal Cabernet Sauvignon from Corison Winery. One of our Napa favorites! Kudos @cathycorison for producing another beauty. @corisonwinery #corison #corisonwinery #napavalley #delicious #wine #wineryexplorers — 10 years ago
45% Pinot Noir / 30% Chardonnay / 25% Pinot Meunier
On the nose, strawberry shortcake, raspberry and citrus peels.
On the palate, red raspberry/currant and minerals. Dry.
At $40 I have not seen a better brut rosé bottle at this price point. This is the stuff I want to flow out of my faucet when I turn the handle! We can never have enough of this Champagne! Seek and you will be rewarded.
Producer Note:
Canard-Duchêne is unique in its origins, history and style. The Champagne house has been located in Ludes, in the Montagne de Reims National Park, since 1868, and is one of the original Grandes Marques. Its founders, Victor Canard and Leonie Duchêne, both well-known characters in Champagne, were granted the right by the Russian Imperial Family to adopt its coat of arms as the family emblem. The crowned two-headed eagle has thus appeared on every Canard-Duchêne label since the end of the 19th century. These authentic, original Champagnes combine fruit, intensity and complexity.

A little birdie told me today is National Drink Wine Day (as if we needed a reason). I opened this beauty for the occasion. If you like Cali Pinots, this one will knock your socks off. Fantastically fruit forward, but not lightweight---this is a very medium-bodied wine. A hint of spice, a hint of cocoa---would be killer with some dark chocolate. I paired with sea-salted Coastal Cheddar. Stellar stuff. — 8 years ago
Excellent Chardonnay for National Chardonnay Day! :) — 10 years ago
"National drink wine day" fun. An interesting wine. A tug between tart & savory; herbal & sweet (but a dry wine); or is it animal (brett) & mineral (rocky) ... Got me thinking & thinking is good. I like it & it's a bargain! — 11 years ago
50% Chardonnay / 40% Pinot Meunier / 10% Pinot Noir
On the nose, light citrus and green apple, white flowers with honey.
On the palate, toasty brioche with refreshing acidity and pear/melon notes.
This bottle delivers a stunning value; we normally can buy this at $30, and be oh so happy!

I adore this wine. Just had to crack if for national drink wine day #goodexcuse — 8 years ago
Won the Trophy for Best Shiraz at the National Wine Show 2012. Fruit from the Gundagai region and starting to put this region on the map. Peppery red fruits and starting to develop some leather notes at 7 years. A nice counterpoint to the lush Barossa styles showing the versatility of Shiraz. — 8 years ago
