As Thanksgiving approaches, we want to thank you for making The Spirited Gourmet part of your celebrations. It means so much that you trust us to help fill the tables you share with family, friends, and loved ones.

We’d love for you to join us Saturday, November 21, from 4-6P for a special evening of good wine, good beer, and great company.

Our dear friends Amy and Pierre, co-owners of Domaine Travelle, will be here for a “Meet the Maker” tasting. We’re delighted to introduce you to them and share their wines with you.

Casey from Ideal Wines will also pour five wines worthy of your Thanksgiving table, and Ryan will be at the beer barrel with ales to give thanks for.

Come spend a little time with us before the holiday bustle. Let us help you choose something you’ll love sharing and raise a glass to you, the customers who make this neighborhood shop so special.

Free, friendly, and open to the public. There’s always a place for you at our tasting table.

Wines, November 21, 2026

Domaine Travelle Fleur de Lys - 750ml, 2024

This carefully crafted blend of Syrah and Grenache from the oldest vines on the property (average age over 40 years) is bright and fruity. The grapes are hand-harvested and quickly cooled after harvest but undergo no pressing. We use only the drip juices with little extraction from the skins, letting the juices speak for themselves. This results in a light-medium body with delicate color and fine tannins, polished texture with vivacity on the palate and a long, succulent finish.

Domaine Travelle Rose - 750ml, 2024

This blend features three red grape varieties—Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault—perfectly suited to the region’s warm climate. At roughly 1,000 feet above sea level, the vines benefit from cool nights that confer a beautiful balance to the grapes, creating an elegant wine with complex flavors and pronounced acidity. This rosé captivates with powerful fruit aromas, a dry, crisp profile and features bright citrus notes. It stands out for its freshness, complexity, elegance, and long, satisfying finish. It is ideal on its own, as an aperitif, or served with light bistro fare.

Domaine Travelle Tilia - 750ml, 2025

This dry white blend of hand-harvested Clairette and Rolle (Vermentino) is the youngest in the family. Complex and elegant, it reveals notes of citrus—such as lemon and grapefruit—along with white floral aromas. On the palate, the attack is lively, supported by a well-balanced freshness with mineral and floral notes and a long, beautiful finish.

Domaine Travelle Les Mûriers - 750ml, 2024

This wine is crafted from a blend of old Syrah and Grenache hand-harvested and pressed after fermentation to extract flavors and tannins. The intense Provençal sunlight which contributes to the development of thicker grape skins enhances the depth of flavors. Our goal is not to produce a powerful red, but rather an elegant wine with delicate structure, medium body, fine tannins and a bright finish. After pressing, the wine is aged in oak barrels for nine months. Currants and red cherries on the nose.
