FINE WINE TASTING @ SAVOUR WITH BROOKE OVERHISER OF MARTIGNETTI’S CONNOISSEUR WINE DIVISION
Martignetti Companies began as a family-owned grocery business in Boston’s North End. Upon the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, the Martignetti family received the very first beverage alcohol retail license issued in Massachusetts. Through the years, the retail business included wine and spirits shops across the Boston metro area.
In the 1970’s, the family expanded the distribution and wholesale business, focusing on fine wines. Through organic growth, new supplier portfolio appointments and well executed acquisitions, the distribution side of Martignetti Companies flourished. The Martignetti portfolio has now grown to encompass the broadest selection of fine wines and spirits in the marketplace, from unique artisanal producers to global leading suppliers. The Connoisseur division specializes in boutique fine wines from around the globe.
WINES
Rapaura Springs Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand
Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc Alc.13.5%
Marlborough is New Zealand’s most important wine region by far. It is particularly famous for its pungent, zesty white wines made from the Sauvignon Blanc grape.Sauvignon Blanc accounts for over 80 percent of vineyard surface area and more than 85 percent of regional production. The wine is noted for its intense flavors. Family-owned Rapaura Springs has been awarded the New Zealand Winery of the Yea. Lively, bright, and crisp are three common adjectives used to describe the Rapaura Springs Classic Sauvignon Blanc 2020, which epitomizes the natural expression of Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. It is loaded with succulent passion fruit, guava, pineapple, and pink grapefruit aromas which are underscored by a fresh herbal element. Lush layers of sweet melon, tropical and yellow stone fruit flavors are complemented by an attractive minerality. Pairs well with grilled fish and herb butter, crisp Caesar salad. $ 17.99
Chateau l’Escarelle, Provence, France
This week, we pour two Rosés from Chateau l’Escarelle Estate, 100 hectares of vines that grow in the midst of 1,000 hectares of stunning, protected countryside in the heart of Provence, a wild landscape with garrigues and oak trees mixed with typical Provencal plants. Yann Pineau, a captain of French industry, has devoted himself to his role of owner and wine producer at Chateau l’Escarelle. Founder of the Itancia Endowment Fund for the protection of nature (fondsdedotationitancia.com), Pineau undertook to develop the estate while at the same time ensuring that its exceptional natural environment was preserved. Pineau is deeply committed to preserving and bringing out the best in this natural environment and has undertaken various projects, such as the restoration of existing buildings for wine and nature tourism, and also an organic certification of the entire estate. The PACA LPO (French league for birds protection) was invited to carry out an initial survey of biodiversity on the estate in 2014. The resulting inventories demonstrated a strong biodiversity, with the presence of no less than 95 species of butterfly. Thanks to the support of the ITANCIA Endowment Fund, Château de l’Escarelle became a pilot site dedicated to the study and preservation of butterflies. Chateau de l’Escarelle is in the process of converting to organic viticulture and boasts a prestigious HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale) certification for its strict eco-friendly and sustainable practices.
Chateau l’ Escarelle June 21st Rose,
Varietals: Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Alc.12.5%
Named in honor of the Summer Solstice, Chateau de l’ Escarelle’s June 21st Rosé is fantastic for sipping by itself or sharing at a barbecue. This blend of Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah is light and delicate, with aromas of red berries and stone fruit that transform into juicy flavors of strawberries, watermelon, and grapefruit on the palate. It is crisp and quaffable with bright acidity and a clean finish. Serve as an aperitif. Pairs well with salads, mildly spicy food, shrimp and crab. $21.99
Chateau l’ Escarelle Le Pacha Rose
Varietals: Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah Alc.13%
Named after a butterfly found on the estate, Chateau de l’ Escarelle’s Le Pacha rosé comes from Coteaux Varoisen Provence, a subzone that – thanks to its inland location, hilliness, slightly cooler climate, and calcareous (clayey limestone) soils – is known for producing rosés with brighter acidity and bolder aromatics than regions closer to the coast. This blend of Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah showcases enticing aromas of raspberry, red flowers, and peaches, leading into gorgeously concentrated flavors of strawberry and watermelon that envelop the palate. It has a light body with mouthwatering acidity, beautiful minerality, and a very long finish.
Pairs well with Mediterranean cuisine and Asian dishes. $29.99
Meerlust Estate Red, Stellenbosch, South Africa
Varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc Alc. 14%
Meerlust Estate has been the pride of the Myburgh family since 1756.

Meerlust, with its historic manor house, classic wine cellar, family cemetery, dovecote, and bird sanctuary is situated 15 kilometers south of Stellenbosch, with the blue crescent of False Bay 5 kilometers away. Wines are only made from grapes grown on the Estate, which is uniquely positioned for the production of wines with exceptional complexity and character. The wine has an intense, dark purple color with a violet rim. Bright and vivacious in the glass, very youthful. The nose is expressive with powerful cassis, plum, and exotic spice notes,and hints of floral aromas. On the palate the wine is medium-bodied with intense flavors of crushed black fruit, cassis, vanilla, and dark chocolate. The tannins are very soft and silky with fresh acidity. The wine has a persistent aftertaste.Pairs well with pot roast, venison, game birds.$17.99
Ramos Pinto RP10 Tawny Port, Douro Valley, Portugal
Varietals: Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Barroca, Tinto Cão, Alc. 20%
Ana Rosas is the master blender and head of port wine production at Ramos Pinto. She was brought into the winery in 1990 by her uncle José Ramos Pinto Rosas and worked with her cousin João Nicolau de Almeida until taking over from him in 2015. In 2017, wine magazine Grandes Escolhas named her Port Wine Maker of the Year.The winery is located in the upper reaches of the Douro Valley near the prehistoric rock paintings of Foz Coa. The enterprise began in the late 19th century when an artist, Adriano Ramos Pinto, founded the winery and used his art merchandise to promote the wine. His brother António Ramos Pinto soon joined him and took over commercial and financial management. Adriano focused on artistic creation and company promotion. Family members continue to guide the company today. The RP10 Tawny pours a deep garnet color. On the nose, it has aromas of plum and prune. Flavors of ripe plum, raisin, mulled cherry, fig, sandalwood, hazelnut, caramel, and chocolate are present on the palate.

FINE WINE TASTING @ SAVOUR WITH BETH VON BENZ – ALSATIAN WINE EDUCATOR
We have a special and unusual treat on this Easter and Passover weekend. Beth von Benz, who is an educator specializing in Alsatian wines is joining us for a tasting of 3 remarkable, aromatic, full-bodied beautiful white wines: A single vineyard dry Riesling, a velvety Pinot Blanc, just right for the holiday table, and the best Gewurztraminer I have tasted, perfect with ham, turkey, or an after-dinner cheese plate. So come down and taste with us and enjoy the presentation of the wine of the great French region of Alsace!
WINES
Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Riesling Roche Granitique 2018, Alsace
Varietal: RieslingAlc.12.5%
Since 1620, the Humbrecht family has cultivated their vines in Alsace. Today Domaine Zind Humbrecht comprises 42 hectares of vines, spread over an array of different terroirs in the geological patchwork that is the Alsatian wine region. The domaine follows biodynamic practices in making their wines. The Riesling Roche Granitique was produced from the youngest vines on the domaine (36 years old). It is bright yellow in color. The nose is open and engaging, and as the wine breathes, it develops aromas of fruit and aromatic herbs. The palate shows weight and length, with a dry harmonious finish. Some acidity and tannins are present, but they are balanced by the fullness of the wine.
Pairs well with ham, turkey, soft cheeses, spicy foods, especially Asian. $ 49.99
Domaine Barmes-Buecher Rosenberg Pinot Blanc, Alsace
Varietal: Pinot BlancAlc.13.5%
Situated in the village of Wettolsheim, at the foot of the hills beneath the Vosges mountains, Domaine Barmes-Buecher’s 17 hectares of vines lie south of Colmar and Turckheim and produce an average of 100,000 bottles and around twenty different cuvées every year. The Domaine grows a number of Alsatian grape varieties and its production is split over seven different terroirs, three of which are classified as Grand Cru.
The Pinot Blanc is a golden color, and the nose has aromas of minerals and flint along with some peach. Pineapple and orange, lemon, pepper, and clove are present on the palate. The fruit is luscious and weighty, but the wine also has good acidity and a clean mouthfeel. Delicious on its own and well up to a curry.
Pairs well with grilled salmon, tuna tartare, shellfish, mild & soft cheese, cured meats, spicy cuisine. $ 32.99
Kientzler Gewürztraminer, Alsace, Varietals: Gewürztraminer Alc.13.5%
The Kientzler family has been growing vines for more than five generations in Ribeauvillé and the surrounding area. As early as 1866, Dominique Alphonse Kientzler had inherited vines from his father and grandfather and in 1895 was involved in the creation of France’s first winemaking cooperative in Ribeauvillé. His son Alphonse, while also tending to the vines, eventually became the Mayor of Ribeauvillé. It was Alphonse’s son François though, who was the first to fully concentrate on wine production, taking himself off to Switzerland to study viticulture. By the 1970s, he was joined by his son, André, in the wine business and the pair undertook a massive replanting program to replace much of the old Chasselas with the noble Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Gewürztraminer varieties. Today, the Kientzlers farm almost 14 hectares of vines in Ribeauvillé, Bergheim, Hunawihr, and Riquewihr, including significant parcels in the Grand Crus of Geisberg, Osterberg, and Kirchberg. They are working toward making the winery completely organic. This Gewürztraminer is fresh and delicately perfumed with restraint and lovely fine acidity buffering its richness. Intense and exotic aromas of lychee, tropical fruit, and pepper on the nose are followed by a delicate fruity sweetness in the mouth. The spicy profile and fine acidity make for a long, elegant finish.
Pairs well with coconut curry, mango salad, asparagus, or lamb with dried-fruit cous-cous, as well as Thai food and sheep’s milk cheeses. $24.99
And don’t forget to check out what’s new in our beer case, including two juicy NE IPAs and a clean, refreshing rice lager from East Regiment Brewing in Salem.
