Thanksgiving Pairing 3-Bottle Bundle

The Golden Triangle is an area of Southeast Texas between the cities of Beaumont, Port Arthur and Orange. The “golden” refers to the wealth that came from the Spindletop oil strike in Beaumont in 1901, and more recently from the many gas flares located at all of the local oil refineries, which create a rough triangular shape around the area when viewed from nighttime aircraft.

We introduce to you Golden Triangle. From the chalky soil of the Carneros region in southern Napa Valley, this gem exhibits lush green apple and bright grapefruit notes while dancing across your palate. This stunning wine is light and friendly with very subtle vanilla and pear blossom hints on the nose. Balanced fruit with tarte acidity makes this wine a classic example of Premium Napa Chardonnay.

Gladys City: 

Gladys City found fame as an early 1900s-era Texas boomtown on the Spindletop oil field where, on Jan. 10, 1901, the Lucas Gusher blew. The vast amount of oil found made it possible to use oil as an efficient and inexpensive fuel, propelling the world into the 20th century. Today, the Spindletop-Gladys City Boomtown Museum at Lamar University commemorates this discovery with a 15-building complex open to the public year-round.

We introduce you to Gladys City. Our Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County experiences a lengthy and cool growing season that is similar to the climate of the Burgundy region of east-central France. Unlike Burgundy, our Pinot Noir experiences dense fog that rolls in off the Pacific Ocean; this fog contributes to the ideal climate for Pinot Noir, offering just enough moisture to be beneficial without lingering too long.

Gladys City has aromas of cherries, raspberries, blackberries, and brown sugar with notes of baking spices. On the palate, the wine opens with bright, fruit flavors of strawberries, leading to a round mouthfeel on the mid-palate and soft, velvety tannins on a long, elegant finish.
