Amendment 21 Wines

Are you a cycling enthusiast?  We are.  We like cycling so much, we decided to sponsor a local cycling club.

Local Velo is a Denver based cycling team, conceived by a handful of local, small business owners who thought a cycling team would be a perfect vehicle to promote their businesses and the sport. L/V is an alternative approach to team sponsorship with a goal of creating a group which serves as a rolling billboard and ambassadors for local business.

Fellow sponsors include: Basil Doc's Pizza; Pablo's Coffee; Rise and Shine; Locomotive Services Inc.; Sports Optical; City Velo; South American Wine Importers; Studio Como; YAME Yoga All Can Enjoy.

"FIRST, winemakers poured their vintages into bottles and corked them. Then they lost the corks and added screw tops. Then they lost the bottles and sold wine in boxes, next to beer and pretzels at supermarkets. And now, winemakers seeking some pop are canning wine."

The Infinite Monkey Theorem's Sparkling Black Muscat uses grapes sourced from Colorado's western slope and delivers aromas of litchi fruit, cinnamon, strawberry, and rose petal.  A touch of sweetness makes this a fun carbonated wine to enjoy cold while at the pool, listening to jazz at City Park, or just hanging out on the patio!  $6.99 / 375 Ml can

Priorat is a small and relatively new Denominacion in Spain's rugged and mountainous north east.  This high altitude wine growing area is known for its unique terroir of black slate and quartz and yields elegant and structured blends based on the varietal Grenache. It is one of only two wine regions in Spain to qualify as DOCa, the highest qualification level for a wine region according to Spanish wine regulations, alongside Rioja DOCa. 

This Priorat delivers both Old World and New World characteristics, offering an approachable fruit-driven profile.  Licorice and dark cherry fruit aromas fill the glass while velvety tannins add weight and texture on the palate.  $18.99 

The 2006 vintage earned 90 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate!

The Perrin 'Nature' is made from organically farmed grapes and delivers aromas of spice, red ripe berries, and pepper. On the palate you'll notice dark red fruit flavors with a long and pleasant finish. Try this wine with Mediterranean dishes, meats, game, and all sorts of cheeses.  $12.99

Named after a character from a Charles Dickens novel, 'Pip' Chardonnay blends fruit from two premium Sonoma Coast vineyard sites and delivers a rich and bright fruit profile with flavors of green apples and pears.  This small-production Chardonnay is a great option for wine lovers who prefer a fruity Chardonnay without oak and vanilla flavors.  $18.99

The grapes sourced for this small-production Pinot Noir are all sourced from vineyards close to the Umpqua River in Oregon.  The aromas and bouquet offer bright and vibrant strawberry fruit, mushrooms, earth, and sweet oak.  The mouthfeel is round and full.  The wine is aged in 100% French oak barrels, 33% of which are new.  This allows for lees stirring and the building of structure and mouthfeel.  This is a great value Pinot Noir at $18.99!

According to Webster’s dictionary, a heretic is: “one who dissents from an accepted belief or doctrine.  A nonconformist.”   This fun little VDP from southern France breaks tradition by offering big flavors and big aromas at a small price!  Les Hérétiques is a blend of Carignane and Syrah and delivers explosive berry fruit mingled with unmistakable barnyard aromas.  The tannins are soft and easy, making it approachable with just about anything.  The result is a value-driven and balanced French red that works great with light to medium dishes based on meats, mushrooms, game, or other earthy elements.  Try it with a baguette and a piece of camembert!  $10.99 (also part of our '2 for $21 section)
