Wines of the Month
August is a month of matsuri, fireworks and trips to the beach.
With temperatures soaring above 35 degrees Celsius and humidity pushing past 90 percent, here are three wines to help you beat the heat, selected by Andrew Heffernan, member of the Club’s Wine & Beverage Committee.
If you purchase at least three bottles of any combination of his recommended trio, you’ll receive a 10 percent discount.|
The wines are also available through the Club’s online Wine Shop.
- NV Sunny with a Chance of Flowers, Monterey, California
“Sunny with a chance of flowers isn’t just an appealing weather forecast, it’s also the name of a sustainably produced California sparkling rosé. Best served ice cold, this wine heads into the ‘smashable’ territory with hints of watermelon, raspberries, cranberries and guava.”
¥2,800
- 2022 Jules Taylor Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand
“A tangy white from New Zealand praised for its aromatic profile—ripe with notes of passion fruit, guava, lime zest, gooseberry and Marlborough’s signature bell pepper characteristic. An impressive wine with purity and power at that price point.”
¥2,760
- 2019 Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
“The 2019 Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon defies Napa trends with its restrained house style. Lively, with lots of red currants, cherries and a hint of bitter chocolate, it demands pairing with barbecued steak in its youth but can be cellared for 20-plus years.”
¥14,500
