Comtesse Marion
100% Pinot Noir
Languedoc, France

Stock up on this wine for Thanksgiving!

We tasted the Comtesse Marion a couple weeks ago and loved it. It's a from the Languedoc region which is in south central France, an area known to produce beautiful wines at moderate prices. This wine maintains the beautiful earthy characteristics found in Pinot and has the added layer of beautiful red fruit which means it can be enjoyed with or without food. We liked it so much we bought a bunch of it for Thanksgiving. It's a winner for the price. $14.99 or $13.50 with a case purchase.

Try it and let me know what you think!

Tis the season, I suppose! We have a, let’s call it, special, relationship with holiday beers here in Cleveland. In fact, there’s a bit of advice I always give to new coworkers around this time of year. When a customer comes in, asking “Where’s the Christmas Ale?” it’s a good assumption that they’re talking about the Christmas Ale. You know the one, with the red baubles on the packaging brewed by those old stalwarts down on W25th street. The one that folks love to opine about, that this year’s batch is way worse/better than last years, or I remember the original recipe, ya know, before they changed it. No way it was only 7%!! We like to think know this beer; the honey is in our veins, the nutmeg, our bones. But here's truth: Christmas Ale is a construct, its various conceptual elements malleable. We see our own structures and bias placed upon the can or bottle or glass and it seems to take shape, and, in this case, the shape of orange peel and a kiss of ginger. We think we have empirical evidence of nuttiness and caramel and, do-I-detect-a-triffle-of-hops? but all we have is subjectivity and Santa wearing a barrel. But you can take comfort because the twinkle in Santa’s eye hints at something we are starting to realize even as all our paradigms start to crumble around us: Christmas ale can be, and is, anything we want it to be.
