Wine Stations: Try Before You Buy


Ancona's Wines & Liquors updated their Wine Stations to help you select the perfect wine for your Easter meal. Whether you are serving chicken, ham, or lamb there is a wine to suit every dish on the tableCome taste these amazing wines! Wine Stations open at noon, limit 4 wines per customer.

2012 Wolffer Estate Rosé - Wolffer rose from the Hamptons in Long Island is pure, clean and absolutely declicious. The 2012 is light with balanced red and white fruit and bright acidity. Think pink, think sunshiine, think light spring/summer fare.
2012 Commanderie de Peyrassol Cotes de Provence Rosé - This is always a classic rose from the Cotes de Provence an appellation known for its briliance in the pink wine category. It is a pale rose color, fresh and lively on the palate, nicely dry with a mineral finish.
2011 Domaine Michel Cheveau Macon-Chaintre 'Les Clos' - Fresh-cut green apple meets lemony/limey cirtus notes followed by a classic white Burgundy minerality. This select offering from Michel Cheveau is serious value offering Cote de Beaune quality at Southern Burgundy Prices.
2010 Brooks Amycas White Blend - As soon as you pop the cork your senses are overwhelmed with as array of aromatics of strong citrus and stone fruit. At first pour the air is replaced with bright and vibrant aromas of sweet fruit, honey, and the exotics of the tropics. As the first splash caresses your tongue you are bombarded with a combination of complexity, balance, and utter ease.

2010 Vajra Nebbiolo Langhe - "Another highlight in this portfolio, the 2010 Langhe Nebbiolo is a deep, resonant wine endowed with serious structure and class. Dark red fruit, tobacco, mint and spices are some of the notes that emerge from the glass, but in the end, the 2010 is a wine of depth and structure. Readers looking for an easygoing Nebbiolo should look elsewhere. This is serious juice." ~(92 Points - Wine Advocate)
2009 Chateau La Vieille Cure Fronsac - "The 2009 is a charming, sexy, dense ruby/purple-colored offering displaying lots of ripe Merlot fruit intermixed with hints of charcoal, black raspberries, black currants, lead pencil shavings and truffles. This full-bodied, pure, nicely textured and layered Fronsac is a sleeper of the vintage that considerably over-performs for its modest price." ~(92 Points - Wine Advocate)
2008 Chignard Fleurie Les Moriers - "Michel and son Cedric Chignard's unfined and unfiltered cuvee of 2009 Fleurie Les Mories features dark cherry, cassis, and purple plum tinged with mace, moss, wet stone, and bitterness of cherry pit. With a fine sense of richness but fine-grained tannins hidden beneath its surface, and an incipient sense of meatiness, this grips formidably and should prove worth following for at least 3-4 years." ~(90 Points - Wine Advocate)
