Late summer wines for an old-fashioned Clambake

Summer isn't finished with us yet. The days are shorter, but the waves of warmth beaming from the sun allow us to bask in a late summer glow. Wine is the perfect accoutrement.


Tonight, we're featuring three wines that will all look and taste fantastic at a Brooklyn-style clambake. The three grapes are Pinot Blanc, Melon de Bourgogne, and Pinot Noir–all native French varieties that sashay on the palate, sways of fruit meandering around bright, lifting acidity.


Pierre Sparr's Pinot Blanc hails from a centuries' old estate in Alsace, dated to the 1680s, and it is a medium-bodied, fleshy wine that perfect for transitional fare and seafood. If you're a white wine drinker that is tired of crisp, high-acid wines, then give this a whirl, a swirl, and a sip or two. Domain Bonnet-Hureau's Muscadet Sevre-et-Maine is the full package for a white wine: aromatic, briny, mineral, citrus-driven, crisp though slightly round. Serve this as an aperitif wine or with a seafood dish extraordinaire. Lastly, Broadacre's Monterey Pinot Noir is an earthy, acidic, and lightly fruity expression of this beloved grape. Enjoy this over two days: it opens up and becomes more fruit-expressive on day two.


Come try these delectable wines and take some home with you. We hope to see you in the shop ce soir!
