Happy California Wine Month!
This week we're celebrate with a lesser known variety that has been stepping back into the spotlight thanks to many boutique producers: chenin blanc. Originally from France's Loire Valley, chenin blanc is an incredibly versatile grape making a full range of wine styles worldwide. Although produced en masse in California in the 70s and 80s, the wines were simple and became quickly overshadowed by other varieties like chardonnay and sauvignon blanc.
California Wine Regions to Know: Mendocino – Bottle Barn. Just north of Sonoma County in Northern California lies Mendocino—a rugged, coastal terrain with striking landscapes and agricultural areas long used for winegrowing.
"Mendocino County, in fact, has been a stealth wine-producing region going back to vineyards planted by immigrants in the 1800s," says Sara Schneider of the Robb Report, "It’s a well-kept secret that much Mendo fruit goes into pricy wines to the south, in Sonoma and Napa Counties (it’s legal to splash in a percentage of wine from outside the named appellation, to keep the cost of goods down); the ringing endorsement in that is that Mendocino fruit is good enough for those wines. " The Mendocino AVA (American Viticultural Area) itself has a dozen other AVAs within it including Anderson Valley, Yorkville Highlands and Mendocino Ridge.

Written by Wine Buyer, Barry Herbst As the years go on and my tastes for wine have darted around the world including the regions of Piedmont, Rheingau, Stellenbosch, Chinon, Volnay, Aube and more, but I always come back to Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
The best examples have an immediate deliciousness that is unmatched. Southern French White Wines with Dan Berger – Bottle Barn. Written by Dan Berger When we think of the white wines of the south of France, one basic type emerges in our mind: White Côtes du Rhône.
These wines tend to be more interesting, especially in the last decade as better techniques have been developed to capture fruit, such as cooler fermentations, protecting grapes from oxidation after harvest, and better-quality bottling equipment, corks, and bottles. Another reason is that whites from the south of the Rhône can be anything the winemaker fancies, so the styles can differ. So can the grape varieties used. As such, two of these wines rise to the top when we evaluate the category. Guigal is a name always associated with this style of wine, and it is obvious to most Americans since it is a popular go-to choice across the country. However, the wine’s attractive structure allows it to be served with light cheeses as an aperitif and it can also accompany any food with a cream sauce.
All three wines can be enjoyed cool or cold. Holiday Gift Guide: Rare Vintage Armagnac – Bottle Barn. Looking for a unique gift for someone this holiday season or a special rarity for yourself?

Cocktail Recipe: The Sazerac Two Ways – Bottle Barn. The official cocktail of New Orleans since 2008, the Sazerac is a classic drink to whip up at the end of a long day or start of a meal as an aperitif.
As if an Old Fashioned doused with the color of the city, the cocktail is typically made with Sazerac's spicy rye whiskey, Peychaud bitters, sugar, and the glass is rinsed with absinthe (locally Herbsaint) for a hint of anise, garnished with lemon. Rumor has it the drink was a Sazerac House specialty in the late 1800s, but the first published reference to a Sazerac cocktail was in 1899 when bartenders started giving names to their recipes. Many believe that the original cocktail was made with Sazerac de Forge et Fils, a famous brandy at the time. Thanks to the speed bump that was Phylloxera, a small pest which ravaged vineyards worldwide in the late 1800s, bartenders switched from brandy to rye whiskey since it was more readily available.
