Wines of the Month

With winter’s chill giving way to warmer days, the population prepares to toast Mother Nature under a canopy of white and pink cherry blossoms.

To help Members celebrate the return of alfresco sipping, Keith Truelove, chair of the Club’s Wine & Beverage Committee, has three Cellar wines well worth uncorking this hanami season.

And if you purchase at least three bottles of any combination of his recommended trio, you’ll receive a 10 percent discount.

Also available through the Club’s online Wine Shop.

• 2017 Domaine Les Alexandrins Crozes-Hermitage, Rhône Valley, France
  “A full-bodied Syrah that has had a few years to soften its tannins and develop more complexity, but it still packs a punch. Enjoy with stews or roasted meats.”
  ¥3,600
  
  
• 2020 Juggernaut Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California
  “This wine illustrates how challenging growing conditions can bring out the best in grapes. With flavors of cherry, plum fruit and solid spice undertones, this Bogle family wine is on the bolder end of the spectrum for Sonoma Pinots.”
  ¥4,300
  
  
• 2021 Scheid Vineyards Grüner Veltliner, Monterey, California
  “Crisp yet complex, this Grüner Veltliner would make winemakers in the grape’s homeland of Austria proud. Sustainably grown in the Monterey AVA [American viticultural area], this delicious wine boasts a palate of citrus, tropical fruit and honey.”
  ¥3,400
