Wines of the Month

July, marked by Independence Day celebrations, is a month brimming with images of Americana.

Wine & Beverage Committee chair Keith Truelove has selected three bottles to set the scene.

And 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 Laherte Frères Brut Ultradition Champagne, France
  “New to The Cellar, this grower champagne is a biodynamic, dry sparkling that offers stone fruit flavors on a base of earthiness and minerality, thanks to a generous blend of Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.”
  ¥7,000

• 2020 689 Cellars Killer Drop, Northern California
  “Produced by Curtis McBride and Kent Rasmussen, a duo that seeks to express the sea-to-mountain thrills of California, this red from 689 Cellars delivers a rich and velvety sip of black cherry and chocolate with a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Petit Sirah from the north’s cool climes.”
  ¥4,000

• 2021 Ride & Ridden Ride Cabernet Sauvignon, California
  “It’s evident in the bottle and on the label that this Texas-born winemaker was inspired by the rodeo lifestyle of the Lone Star State. The sharp fruit and herbal qualities of a pure Cabernet Sauvignon are well-balanced here, just like a cowboy must be.”
