Wine Information:

Merci:

Merci, Mario is a phrase that has been intertwined with the career of Mario Lemieux, in part because of his play on the ice, but also because of his save off of the ice, rescuing the team from bankruptcy and keeping them in Pittsburgh. Merci, meaning ‘Thank You’ in French, is an homage to the most important player in the history of our franchise as well as the legacy of French-Canadian players who have left a lasting impact on our team and city. We are all thankful for what we’ve been able to witness. Merci, indeed.

We introduce you to Merci. This premium sparkling wine – meticulously and artfully made in the traditional champagne method – rivals anything found from the best Champagne houses in Épernay and Reims. Blended superbly from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this magnificent Napa Valley Brut exhibits rich fruit aromatics of strawberry and delicate white cherry that follows through to a creamy mid-palate accompanied with highlights of lime and wet minerality and a lingering vibrant finish.

Center Ice:

“Play without fear and you will be successful! See you at center ice.” That is the text message every player received on the morning of Game 7 in 2009 from team owner, Mario Lemieux. A proclamation that came to fruition hours later. And it’s been a meeting place ever since. Just a year later, the Penguins’ new arena was built on Centre Avenue. See you there.

We introduce you to Center Ice. Hailing from the cool and foggy climate for the Russian River Valley in Sonoma County, this beautiful medium-bodied wine was grown slowly to build intense flavors over time. This wine was aged in French oak and displays a beautiful balance of fruit, oak and liveliness on the palate and exhibits lush mango and toasted almond. Balanced fruit with tarte acidity makes this wine a classic example of Premium Russian River Chardonnay.
