SUMMARY:International Cabernet Franc Day
DESCRIPTION:Cabernet Franc day December 4\, 2025\, which is one of the wine world’s most important\, yet often understated\, red grape varieties.Today\, Cabernet Franc is one of the most widely planted grape varieties in the world \nIt all began in southwest France sometime in the 17th century with Cardinal Richelieu’s love for a particular blue-black grape. He loved them so much that he transported vine cuttings from Bordeaux to the Loire Valley. The berry has been growing and thriving there ever since. \nToday\, Cabernet Franc is one of the most widely planted grape varieties in the world. It is a blending wine in French wines. Most famous blends are Saint Emilion and Pomerol. \nLuxurious\, food-friendly acidic flavours of cherries\, blackberries and plums combined with toasty nutmeg and vanilla spices\, bring this medium-bodied wine to life \nCab Franc is also the parent of Cabernet Sauvignon \nOn the palate\, it unveils a round mouth feel with the bold tannins  for a remarkably supported finish. \nCabernet Franc is the parent of Cabernet Sauvignon\, Merlot and Carmenere.

SUMMARY:International Chardonnay Day: May 22 \, 2025
DESCRIPTION:International Chardonnay Day\n\nThursday before Memorial Day (May 22 in 2025) \nDescribing the flavours of a Chardonnay can be very challenging because they differ based on different winemaking techniques. They boast impressive ranges from the expected butter and oak to fresh fruit flavours of citrus\, apple and tropical fruits. While many Chardonnays have high aromatic complexity\, others can have smoky\, vanilla and spice notes due to barrel fermentation or distinctive buttery aromas due to malolactic fermentation. \nThese are not the old over-oaked Chardonnay from years ago. Also French Chablis is a Chardonnay. The wines should be fruity yet balanced by a steely\, mineral character that’s the epitome of Chardonnay this far north. \nEnjoy this Chardonnay 15 % off all Chardonnay kits from May 19 to May 25\, 2025 – Cannot be combined with other offers!
