It's good to begin with the good news, right? We have an impressive array of new vintage bottlings currently in stock from Goisot. Who are they? Why, only our favorite family of grape growers in northern Burgundy. Close to Chablis. Now that we know what we're talking about, I'll lead into the bad news... there's not much of any one particular wine to be had. Sure, we have a impressive stacks of the very Easter-ready (and hearteningly affordable) basic Pinot Noir and Chardonnay releases from Goisot. And these wines are must-buys in my opinion. They taste great, and you can afford to purchase them for a throng of guests. But Goisot also offers a tantalizing group of other goodies, from an Aligote to several Sauvignon bottlings (legal around St. Bris where they work) grown in different types of limestone, to very rich, compellingly intense single-site Chardonnays. My personal favorite is the Gueules de Loup, 80% because it tastes amazing, 10% because of the very Lord of the Rings/Zeppelin IV label, and 10% because it has a very cool name. Wolf's Gullet in French. Vivid imagery to match the gripping flavors.

Easter brunch is an important meal. Whether you are having ham, lamb, salmon, asparagus, or an array of young spring vegetables, a wine or two from the Goisot arsenal can assist. These wines have ripeness, poise, and a nuance of flavor that seems to be in danger of extinction in modern wine, even from Burgundy. And for what they are, across the range these wines are really good values. Century-old vine Pinot Noir for $28? Yep, you can get one from Goisot, if you move swiftly.... We'll offer free samples of Goisot on Friday and Saturday, so drop by for a preview.
