Easter Sunday Sparkling

Happy Easter

Bubbles are always a good way to celebrate the holidays, and the lively berry notes and bright acidity of De Chanceny Crémant de Loire Rosé Brut Cabernet Franc (not to mention its cheerful pink colour) is a sure winner for Easter Sunday brunch.

De Chanceny Crémant de Loire Rosé Brut Cabernet Franc

This gleaming, pink-if-not-coral, Méthode Champenoise sparkler shows bright, red fruit and delicate but intense aromatic character. Think: ripe strawberry, Bing cherry, pink grapefruit, with an undertone of herbaceousness, and notes of ginger and spice — particularly cardamom. Lively but balanced, with fresh, yet subtle finish. Very good length with fine, persistent bubbles. 90% Cabernet Franc, 10% Grolleau Noir.

Supporting Our Community

Even as we do our part to protect ourselves and others by staying home, there are many ways that we can show our support for our community, as well as local businesses:

As restaurants shutter or slow down their operations in response to COVID-19, wholesalers that normally supply them — along with local producers — are also losing business. This has led some to shift their operations to retail and offer their products directly to consumers.

From fresh fruit and veggies to meat and seafood, here are five restaurant wholesalers that now offer their products directly to you »»
