Happy Holidays from our kitchens to yours! May your holidays be filled with love, laughter, memories, and of course, great food!
Join The Boisset Wine Club!
If you love traveling to Napa Valley and enjoying great wines as much as we do, being a member of one of the wine clubs hosted in Napa is a great idea. There are a lot of benefits to being a member, especially in the one that we are part of - The Boisset Wine Society.
There are several potential benefits to joining a wine club:
Access to exclusive wines: Many wine clubs offer access to exclusive or hard-to-find wines that are not available in retail stores.
Expert curation: Many wine clubs are curated by wine experts who can select high-quality wines based on your personal preferences.
Convenience: Wine clubs often offer the convenience of having wine delivered directly to your door on a regular basis.
Education: Some wine clubs offer educational materials, such as tasting notes or pairing suggestions, to help you learn more about wine and improve your understanding of different varietals and regions.
Discounts: Many wine clubs offer discounts on the wines they offer, which can be a great way to save money on your favorite wines.
Social aspect: Wine clubs can be a great way to connect with other wine enthusiasts and learn from each other. Many clubs also offer tastings and other events where members can get together and try new wines.
The Boisset Collection offers all of this and more. To buy wines that ship directly from their Napa Valley vineyards to your door, explore the World of Boisset Collection.
Cheers to 2021!
Thank heavens 2020 is finally in our rearview mirror! It has been a devastating year for Napa Valley, and I know everyone is ready to move forward.
If you want to help Napa Valley and its growers stay strong, there is a very easy way that we can all help: Buy Napa Wines and don't only stock your wine cellar with them - drink them!
Joining the Wine Clubs of your favorite wineries is a great way to directly support your favorites. It also gives you invitations to special events, and the opportunity to purchase wines that you will never see on a retailer's shelf.
Hopefully, Napa Valley will be able to open back up soon and welcome us with open arms and full glasses. Cheers to an exciting 2021!
Alchemy Of The Senses Comes To Dallas
He brought the Boisset lifestyle to a beautiful home on Lake Grapevine, and treated guests to an evening of fine wines served in his Baccarat crystal line, place cards featuring images from his stunning Alchemy of the Senses book, and delicious delights from Atelier Fine Foods in Yountville. It was an evening that I don't think any of us will forget.
If you are planning a visit to Napa Valley, be sure and book a tour of one of his stunning wineries or properties. I promise it will be an experience you won't forget.
Tour de Terroir Comes to Dallas
Joining Boisset Collection Proprietor Jean-Charles Boisset will be winemakers Grégory Patriat of Jean-Claude Boisset in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Burgundy; Lucie Depuydt of J. Moreau & Fils in Chablis; Florent Georger of Mommessin and Château Pierreux in Beaujolais; and Jacques Haullar of Domaine Henri Maire in the Jura.
That evening consumers are invited to attend five distinct tastings at different locations - each will be hosted by one of the winemakers, and will be pouring their wines. Space is very limited, so if you are interested in attending, reserve your space quickly!
The Boisset Collection
On our last trip, we were fortunate enough to discover The Boisset Collection which includes Raymond Vineyards in Napa. They own 24 wineries in France as well as the US, so buying into each of their wine clubs would be expensive, but it was too hard to choose!
As luck (or good fortune!) would have it, we had the opportunity to meet Jean-Charles Boisset, president of this collection and he invited this Lifestylist to be an Ambassador for his collection! As part of that, we can offer an opportunity to join a wine club that gives you access to offerings from more than one of his wineries that are curated by Jean-Charles himself! It also lets you have complimentary tastings at their Estate Wineries and invitations to various tastings and dinners across the country.
You can sign up here to take advantage of this incredible opportunity! We can't wait to share all of the great wines that we have discovered through being a member of the club.
Wining My Way Through Napa
This week I have been having a great time visiting this beautiful area, and experiencing the best that Napa has to offer, and that's a lot! It makes so much more sense to me now that I have visited and experienced the valley - there is so much to see and do, even though it's a rainy, cold week in Napa.
They call this time of the year Cabernet season, because it's a great time to enjoy the bold tastes of a great Napa cabernet and to pair it with some warm, inviting comfort food.
It's been hard to choose which wineries to visit, but I started with Mondavi and I wasn't disappointed. I'm learning as I go, and now I know to ask for the wines that you can only buy at teh wineries, are they old vine grapes, and are the grapes grown there or some place else.
I'm looking forward to sharing what I have learned and tasted!
Buy Napa Wines
It should be an exciting journey to try wines that we haven't tried before, and we are excited to share our findings here. We are going to start by exploring the wines that have been winners at TEXSOM - a group that we volunteer with and have had the pleasure to meet and spend time with some of these wine makers.
Please join us in supporting this region and it's wine makers and let's help make a difference!
