2014 Tire Bouchon by Domaine D’Ouréa Vin de France

2014 Tire Bouchon by Domaine D’Ouréa Vin de France

We always harp on about buying the most affordable wines from the best producers. It makes a lot of sense. The grapes often come from the exact same vineyards as the top cuvées, and are farmed, harvested, and vinified using the same methods. Usually, the only differences are in the ages of the vines, the yields, and the aging regime. Granted, these are important contrasts, but there is no question you can get the gist of an estate’s style from the entry level.

This time, we have a bonus. Not only do we have the entry level from a top grower, but we think we are far enough out in front of this one that a year or two from now, this wine will seem like an absolute steal. Continue reading 2014 Tire Bouchon by Domaine D’Ouréa Vin de France

Copos Nature by Cellers Unio: An Organic Red that Puts Shame to Many

It’s no secret that Catalonia has got it going on. A roughly triangular region in Spain’s far north-east corner, Catalonia is separated by the Pyrenean Mountains from southern France, with which it has close historical ties. With a distinct history stretching back to the 11th century, many Catalans think of themselves as a separate nation from the rest of Spain. In fact, the Catalonian language is entrenched in the laws enacted by the local Parliament. Continue reading Copos Nature by Cellers Unio: An Organic Red that Puts Shame to Many

This Holiday Season Give the Gift of Spirits from Colonial Spirits

Twelve on the Shelf

There is no time of the year quite like the holidays. It’s a time of joy, merriment & celebration. It’s a time when we prioritize friends and family, and give thanks for and focus on what is really important to us in our lives. As the song goes, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year!”

Unfortunately, with all the holiday excitement, also comes holiday stress. Gift-giving can be a particularly stressful part of the holidays.

So, at Colonial Spirits of Acton we put on our Santa hats,  and came up with something that we hope will stoke your holiday spirit and get it burning hotter than an ol’ Yule log… TWELVE SELECT SPIRITS, TO PUT YOU AND YOURS IN THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT, ON SALE NOW AT COLONIAL SPIRITS!
