The Wine List
Jeff Hous of Bond Street Wines has shared his knowledge, expertise and must-have
wines to keep on the shelf during the holidays. You and your guests will enjoy his
outstanding selection for holiday entertaining.
Les Dames Blanches du Sud 2014
Beautiful color with intense golden reflections. The nose has
dominated aromas of white flowers (acacia) and citrus. Over
the mid palate the wine has a full mouth feel, rich and fruity
with a lot of fat. The wine exhibits impressions of freshness,
balance and aromatic power. Notes of apricot and white
peach and floral notes show throughout the wine.
Merriman Cummins Road Pinot Noir 2012
The Cummins Road is made up of grapes from the new
south facing block #13. This block is planted entirely to
the Pinot Noir clone Wädenswil, which traces its origin to
Switzerland. The extra degrees of heat from the southern
exposure ensure a nice, even ripeness, giving the wine its
full character. Restrained use of French oak during the
wine making process rounds out the palate and gives it a
creamy mouth feel. We are proud to produce this valueoriented wine completely from Merriman Vineyard fruit
and to let it serve as an introduction to the vineyard.
Gerard Bertrand Cuvée Thomas Jefferson
Cremant de Limoux Brut Rosé 2012
The wine has a pale straw color with hints of green
reflecting at the edge of the glass. The bubbles are tiny
and very elegant. Its aromas are very fruity with a hint
of biscuits, hazelnuts and flowers. This sparkling wine is
elegantly balanced, complex and well-structured with a
long and crisp mineral finish.
