About This Wine


ce n'est pas un verre de vin

Grenache Blanc

Things aren’t always what they seem. Rene Magritte famously painted a picture of a pipe with the phrase “This is not a pipe.” written under it. His point was that it’s an image of a pipe. It was just a representation. The wine we have today is called ce n’est pas un verre de vin which translates to “This is not a glass of wine.” For us, it isn’t just a glass, or bottle, of wine. It’s much, much more. This wine features crisp apple flavors and notes of white flowers, but really represents all of the hard work and know-how that goes into a bottle of wine. It’s the amalgamation of creativity and practicality. So enjoy it lightly chilled while contemplating everything wine represents for you. Judges love it too! It took home 94 points and a Platinum Medal at the 2020 Winemaker Challenge and a Silver medal from the 2019 Sommelier Challenge.

Wine Region


France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.

Grenache Blanc is an interesting grape, and in this expression, we have beautifully crisp flavors. The apple notes snap against a soft backdrop of white flowers. Try drinking on its own or with fresh dishes.
