SUMMARY:Good Friday: April 3/ 2026
DESCRIPTION:Good Friday: April 3/ 26\n \nGood Friday\, a Christian observance\, takes place two days before Easter Sunday—falling on April 3 in 2026. It is a somber day commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. While many observe it as a day of reflection\, quiet gatherings\, and fasting\, it also marks a time when families come together. For winemakers and customers\, this can be a moment to prepare wine for Easter feasts or share symbolic glasses during family meals. Whether you observe the religious roots or simply enjoy a long weekend\, Good Friday can be a time to pause\, reflect\, and connect.

SUMMARY:International Chardonnay Day: May 21 \, 2026
DESCRIPTION:International Chardonnay Day\n \nThursday before Memorial Day (May 21 in 2026) \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 18 to May 24\, 2026 – Cannot be combined with other offers!

SUMMARY:International Cabernet Franc Day Dec 4\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Cabernet Franc day December 4\,2026\, 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.\nVillage craft Winemaker will be bringing in a limited RQ 27 Cabernet Franc from a Vineyard in the Niagara region for January 2027. Please make sure that you let me know whether you would like to be one of the astute winemaker to enjoy this special Canadian wine. \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:Grenache Day
DESCRIPTION:Grenacha Day was established in 2010 by the International Grenache Symposium at La Verriere vineyard in southern France to honour one of the world’s most widely planted red grape varieties (known as Garnacha in Spain) within Aragon\, a region in the north of Spain\, and Grenache has become the signature grape of France’s Southern Rhône Valley. \nIt has grown in the warm sun of its native land\, filling with a characteristic berry type sweetness and just a touch of spiciness that makes it incredibly interesting to fans of wine. It is a deep purple-red jewel dangles in bunches from among vibrant green leaves. \nThis is the Grenache Grape\, which was at one time known as the Red of Aragon (Tinto Aragonés). International Grenache Day celebrates the august history of this grape and the contributions it has made to some of the world’s most delightful wines. \nGrenache is the major grape that is the component of the famous Chateau Neuf De Pape ( aka the Chateau of the Pope). \nWe have Grenache Syrah in stock as a RJS En Primeur wine kit and we can blend it with a limited quantity of Monastrell ( Mourvèdre)  and create a GSM. \nWe have all sorts of Grenache blends and sole varietals.  Please contact the store and we will be more than happy to guide you to the right wine for you; and you can make it at the store under our guidance. 15% off with mention of this ad. \n#redwine #GarnachaDay #GrenacheDay #Chateauneufdepape
