We Asked 15 Wine Pros: Which Bordeaux Offers the Best Bang for Your Buck?

As one of the world’s premier wine regions, Bordeaux’s main focus is Cabernet Sauvignon- and Merlot-driven blends. While Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot make regular appearances, the region is also known for producing small amounts of white Bordeaux, as well as the lusciously sweet wine known as Sauternes.

Bordeaux is divided into three regions — the rival Left Bank and Right Bank, and Entre-Deux-Mers — each with its own distinct terroir. As a result, deciphering Bordeaux’s many variations can be tricky. Add Bordeaux’s often intimidating prices, and it’s not hard to understand why oenophiles on a budget often shy away from its wines. However, a great bottle of Bordeaux doesn’t have to break the bank.

To ensure that approachable Bordeaux is on the radar for every drinker, VinePair asked wine professionals around the country which bottles of Bordeaux present the very best value.

As bars and restaurants continue to navigate the coronavirus pandemic and reopening phases, VinePair asked the bartenders and drinks professionals below to provide a virtual tip jar or fund of their choice. More resources for helping hospitality professionals are available here.

“Château d’Armailhac, Pauillac, Bordeaux, France 2016. One of the great values, especially when great older vintages can be found. An elegant Bordeaux with the technical expertise of the team behind Château Mouton Rothschild.” — Jhonel Faelnar, Wine Director, Atomix, NYC

“I think the wines of Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste have been getting increasingly better without huge jumps in the price for some time.” — Rusty Rastello, Wine Director, SingleThread, Healdsburg, Calif.

“This is an easy one… if you are looking for well-known, high-end Bordeaux — best bang I’d suggest [is] Brane Cantenac. If you want lesser-known Bordeaux at a more accessible price point, Chateau Biac or Haut Bailly.” — Carrie Lyn Strong, Wine Director/Sommelier, Casa Lever, NYC

Donate: Carrie Lyn Strong Venmo

“If you are a fan of Bordeaux, I recommend looking to Southwest France for value wines. Buzet, a small appellation known for its Merlot and Cabernet blends, offers really great wine for a fraction of the cost that you would pay for great Bordeaux. [The] 2016 Mary Taylor Wines Buzet punches above its weight. You get those wonderful aromas of tobacco, black fruit, and leather that invoke Right Bank comparisons. It retails around $18.” — Etinosa Emokpae, Wine Director, Friday Saturday Sunday, Philadelphia

“Château Beauséjour ‘Pentimento,’ Montagne-Saint-Émilion. This wine tells a story. It’s made by the first American female making wine in Bordeaux. I had the pleasure of working with the winemaker, Michelle D’ Aprix, at Bin 14 wine bar when she was traveling to France several times in the year to produce her first vintage. It is named Pentimento after one of her favorite books, “Pentimento,” by playwright Lillian Hellman. Just like the memoir muses on the people and experiences that have had a profound influence on her life, Michelle felt the same with her first wine label. The wine is farmed and made using little to no intervention for each vintage. [It’s] a wine that can be enjoyed upon release — no aging required — while pleasing Old World and New World palates alike.” — Madeline Maldonado, Beverage Director, da Toscano, NYC

“Château Haut-Segottes Saint Emilion Grand Cru (Cabernet Franc, Merlot). [Chateau Haut-Segottes is] owned and operated by Danielle Meunier. Smoked cherries, cigar, and peppercorn make it feel distinctly Bordeaux. Great with rich and rustic food but still light enough for other cuisines.” — Emmanuelle Massicot, Assistant General Manager, Kata Robata, Houston

“White Bordeaux. Probably not what you were expecting, I know. But if you haven’t spent time drinking the white blends of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and Muscadelle from Bordeaux, you’re missing out. Graville-Lacoste Graves Blanc is a delicious blend of mostly Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, with just a touch of Muscadelle.” — Theo Lieberman, Beverage Director, 232 Bleecker, NYC

Donate: 232 Bleecker Gift Cards

“This is a little tricky because the casual wine drinker tends to equate Bordeaux with unrivaled decadence and sophistication, which isn’t entirely untrue, but it’s certainly not the case across the board. The Cabernet-driven wines of Margaux aren’t the cheapest, but they’re consistent in texture, intensity, and quality.” — Kyle Pate, Sommelier, Tinker Street, Indianapolis

“2019 Château Le Bergey, Bordeaux, France ($12). Biodynamic and Bordeaux aren’t two words you often hear in the same sentence, unless you’re talking about this wine. It has everything you could want from a classic Cabernet-dominant blend and tastes like it should cost three times the amount — but doesn’t, which is great.” — Luke Sullivan, Head Sommelier, Gran Tivoli & Peppi’s Cellar, NYC

“Château Larruau, Margaux 2015 is an elegant and sophisticated Bordeaux that offers exceptional value. [The] estate is located next to Chateau Margaux, but the Larruau is a fraction of the price.” — Marsella Charron, Sommelier, The Harbor House Inn, Elk, Calif.

Donate: Alder Springs Vineyard “A Case for a Cause”

“Château La Garde from Pessac-Léognan in Bordeaux. Roughly equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this wine explodes from the glass with violet, blackberry, and smoky notes. It’s structured and full with great minerality and firm tannins. Retails around $25.” — Matthew Pridgen, Wine Director, Underbelly Hospitality, Houston

“For value Bordeaux, I often go to the Côtes, but customers in the restaurant are often more familiar with Medoc, so I generally steer people to Château Castera. I’m fascinated by its history, dating from the Middle Ages, and I think being Merlot-predominant, it’s much more versatile [than] many Cab-based Bordeaux wines for pairing with multiple dishes. I generally can find this wine with a few more years on it than the current release of other wines, which customers appreciate.” — Jeff Harding, Wine Director, Waverly Inn & Garden, NYC

Donate: Jeff Harding Venmo

“Clos du Jaugueyron (any bottling). Bordeaux is big business. Dealing in large quantities can lead houses to make choices that sacrifice long-term vineyard health for short-term financial assurance. However, there are some winemakers who are doing things in a more old-school way, focusing on sustainability and rejecting chemical use — perhaps none better than winemaker Michel Théron of Clos du Jaugueyron. His entry level Haut-Medoc can be found for under $50 most places, while his top-of-the-line Margaux bottling will run you just shy of $100.” — Andrew Pattison, Beverage Director, Sushi Note, Los Angeles

“Château Biac is located in Cadillac, in the Entre-Deux-Mers. When the Asseily family acquired and revived the estate in 2006, the vineyards were rethought and now have dedicated old-vine blocks for Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. The wines are full-bodied and juicy! The structure and complexity definitely rival the growths of the Left Bank. For more bang for the buck, go for the Felix de Biac, the little sister to the flagship.” — Stefanie Schwartz, Sommelier, Portale, NYC

Donate: Stefanie Schwartz Venmo

“Best Bordeaux for the price — Château Potensac or Château Ormes de Pez.” — Zac Adcox, Advanced Somm, indo, St. Louis

Một thỏa thuận (bất động sản) - Nhà xuất bản tự do ở Winnipeg #thôngtin #chuyênmục #kinhdoanh #tàichínhcánhân #ýkiến [ad_1] Tiếp thị Ben SchumacherDakotah Charron, trái, và Garret Froese của Câu lạc bộ các nhà đầu tư ở Winnipeg đang tìm kiếm một cuộc sống thành công trong thị trường bất động sản thành phố. Garret Froese đặt công việc của mình như một nhà tâm lý học trẻ em, trong khi Dakotah Charron từ bỏ theo đuổi bằng cấp về kiến trúc. Và Garret Wong cuối cùng đã kêu gọi họ từ bỏ công việc toàn thời gian trong nghiên cứu chăm sóc sức khỏe. Tuy nhiên, ba người theo trường phái này có một điểm chung khác ngoài việc để lại những con đường sự nghiệp đầy triển vọng. Tất cả họ đã làm như vậy để kiếm sống trong thị trường bất động sản thành phố. Họ đã trở thành những người môi giới, thay vào đó, họ là nhà đầu tư, nhà sản xuất giao dịch và quản lý tài sản trong thị trường nhà ở và đa gia đình. Và họ là một trong số ngày càng nhiều người là thành viên của các câu lạc bộ đầu tư tư nhân tập trung vào việc mua, bán và cho thuê bất động sản quanh thành phố. "Chúng tôi chắc chắn đã chứng kiến sự bùng nổ trong sự phát triển của các câu lạc bộ này", Froese, 34 tuổi, hiện đang điều hành Froese Development Inc, thuê ba người làm việc bán thời gian. "Năm đến 10 năm trước, có lẽ có một trong số họ xung quanh." Wong, Charron và Froese đều là thành viên của Câu lạc bộ Nhà đầu tư Winnipeg, được thành lập bởi Charron khoảng một năm trước. Nó là một trong số ít các câu lạc bộ đầu tư địa phương được liệt kê trên trang mạng Meetup, hầu hết tập trung vào bất động sản địa phương. Thật vậy, lớp tài sản đáng chú ý. Giá nhà trung bình trong thành phố đã tăng khoảng 230% kể từ năm 2005, từ $ 137,062 đến $ 321,346, dựa trên dữ liệu Giải pháp bất động sản đa danh sách (MLS) và RPS. Thị trường bất động sản thành phố - giống như nền kinh tế của nó - là một đề xuất tăng trưởng ổn định, ông Wong, chủ sở hữu của Upper Edge Property Management Inc, người đã quản lý tài sản từ năm 1999 cho biết. "Theo truyền thống, Winnipeg rất, rất ổn định về giá trị tài sản không tăng và giảm nhiều như Vancouver hay Toronto." Hơn nữa, nhiều người chơi ở Singapore bị thu hút bởi đầu tư vào bất động sản, họ tự mua hoặc cho thuê thông qua quan hệ đối tác, vì đó là tài sản hữu hình mà họ thường hiểu rõ hơn tài sản giao dịch công khai như cổ phiếu và trái phiếu, đơn giản là do nhiều người đã sở hữu Trang Chủ. Tất nhiên, điều đó không làm tổn thương nhiều người đã được hưởng lợi từ việc tăng giá trong nhà của họ, cho phép họ vay từ vốn chủ sở hữu để thanh toán xuống một tài sản đầu tư. Đồng thời củng cố trường hợp đối với bất động sản, đó là một trong những tài sản có hiệu suất tốt nhất trên toàn cầu trong dài hạn. Một nghiên cứu làm việc cho https://www.frbsf.org/ecusiness-research/files/wp2019-10.pdf Ngân hàng Dự trữ Liên bang San Francisco, ví dụ, từ năm ngoái ghi nhận từ năm 1870 đến 2015 lợi nhuận toàn cầu về nhà ở là 6,9 phần trăm mỗi năm sau khi lạm phát, trái ngược với 6,7 phần trăm cho thị trường chứng khoán. Các nhà đầu tư cũng đang tìm kiếm một phần của hành động có rất nhiều cách để đầu tư, bao gồm cả tín thác đầu tư bất động sản (REITs) được liệt kê trên thị trường chứng khoán. Nhưng Winnipeggers cũng có rất nhiều lựa chọn cho cách tiếp cận địa phương, bao gồm mua tài sản cho thuê dài hạn, Wong nói thêm. "Bởi vì Winnipeg ổn định và sự đánh giá cao trong 20 đến 30 năm qua đã tăng lên, đây là địa điểm hoàn hảo để mua và giữ đầu tư." Cách phổ biến tiếp theo là lật nhà, liên quan đến việc mua, cải tạo và sau đó bán một tài sản trong vòng vài tháng. Chiến lược này liên quan đến thứ mà người ta gọi là "sự đánh giá bắt buộc", trong đó những cải tiến làm tăng giá trị tài sản của người dùng dẫn đến lợi nhuận khi bán. Froese nói: "Tôi đã thắng mua một căn nhà trừ khi tôi có thể cải tạo nó để tăng giá trị của ngôi nhà". Anh ta thường xuyên lật đổ tài sản và tìm mua những căn nhà trị giá khoảng 250.000 đô la - điểm ngọt có thể chi trả được trong thành phố. Sau đó, ông chi hàng chục ngàn đô la cho việc cải tạo, nhằm đạt tỷ suất lợi nhuận khoảng 10 đến 15%. Charron, người cũng lật nhà cửa cũng như cho thuê bất động sản, cho biết một trong những khía cạnh hấp dẫn nhất của thị trường thành phố là khả năng chi trả, giúp bắt đầu dễ dàng hơn. "Mọi người quan tâm một cách tự nhiên trong thành phố của chúng tôi bởi vì giá nhà ở thấp hơn đáng kể so với các thị trường khác trên khắp Canada", chàng trai 23 tuổi, đã theo học tại Đại học Manitoba trước khi bắt gặp lỗi bất động sản hai năm trước . Một lý do khiến giá nhà thấp hơn so với Edmonton, Calgary và Vancouver là các nhà đầu tư, trên toàn quốc, nhận thấy Winnipeg là một thị trường buồn ngủ, Jennifer Hunt, phó chủ tịch nghiên cứu của The Real Real Intelligence Network Inc. (REIN) cho biết. Và chắc chắn, "Winnipeg là một thành phố phát triển chậm về mọi mặt." Các nhà đầu tư bên ngoài tỉnh thường bỏ qua Winnipeg, nhưng điều đó đang thay đổi, cô nói. Vẫn là một đánh giá thị trường gần đây của REIN chỉ ra những trở ngại ngăn chặn thị trường Winnipeg trải qua sự bùng nổ giá cả được thấy trong B.C. và Ontario. "Thuế bất động sản cao hơn, thiếu cơ sở hạ tầng, tăng trưởng việc làm và thu nhập chậm vẫn là những đặc điểm phổ biến của các chỉ số kinh tế của thành phố Winnipeg," cô nói. "Đó là một cơ hội phát triển chậm, nhưng điều đó chỉ tốt cho nhiều nhà đầu tư." Bất động sản dài hạn trong thành phố phát triển trong dài hạn từ năm đến 10 phần trăm hàng năm, Wong nói thêm. Đối với các nhà đầu tư địa phương như Charron và Froese, đặc điểm này làm cho bất động sản là đầu tư xây dựng sự giàu có lý tưởng. Tuy nhiên, họ vẫn cảnh báo các cá nhân cần được giáo dục trước khi đầu tư. Họ đề nghị tham dự một trong nhiều câu lạc bộ bất động sản để nghe các diễn giả chuyên gia, tìm hiểu về các cơ hội đầu tư và kết nối với các nhà đầu tư có kinh nghiệm. Đọc sách về chủ đề này cũng hữu ích, bao gồm Rich Dad Poor Dad, của Robert Kiyosaki và Sharon Lechter. Trên thực tế, Froese nói rằng cuốn sách đã giúp anh bắt đầu sáu năm trước. Ngoài ra, REIN là một nguồn tài nguyên tốt, cung cấp hướng dẫn về các khái niệm như người có ảnh hưởng thị trường, bao gồm cách các tổ chức sau trung học và phát triển vận chuyển ảnh hưởng tích cực đến giá cả. Một điều bắt buộc khác đối với người mới là dựa vào một nhóm các chuyên gia để hướng dẫn họ thông qua các khía cạnh pháp lý, tài chính, thuế và các khía cạnh khác của đầu tư, Wong nói. "Nó không chỉ là tìm một người quản lý tài sản", ông nói, việc thêm người đầu tư vào một hoặc hai tài sản nói chung có thể tự mình quản lý chúng. "Thay vào đó, về việc tìm kiếm một kế toán viên, luật sư bất động sản, môi giới bảo hiểm, môi giới thế chấp, môi giới và sau đó có thể là một người quản lý tài sản." Ông cũng khuyên nên đọc Đạo luật thuê nhà ở và liên hệ với Chi nhánh thuê nhà ở để tìm hiểu về quyền của người thuê nhà và chủ nhà ở Manitoba. (Đồng thời, đối với các cơ hội đầu tư liên quan đến quan hệ đối tác, ông đề nghị liên hệ với Ủy ban Chứng khoán Manitoba để tìm hiểu thêm về các tiêu chí khác nhau để đầu tư hợp pháp vào một thỏa thuận.) "Rất nhiều người tham gia vào đó mà không biết họ đang làm gì, và đó là nơi mà những câu chuyện kinh dị bắt nguồn từ đó," anh nói. "Nhưng giả sử bạn có thể vượt qua lần đầu tiên mà không có quá nhiều vết bầm tím, lần thứ hai, thứ ba và thứ tư của bạn thường trở nên dễ dàng hơn rất nhiều." . [ad_2] Nguồn

From Rochester Ice Arena, Rochester, NH – Saturday night, February 1, 2020

Two weeks removed from something resembling winter and just as long since their last hockey game, the Goffstown Grizzlies roared into the new and improved Rochester Ice Arena for a tilt with Spaulding. Goffstown showed no signs of rust on their game jumping out to a 5-1 lead after one period and skating to a 10-4 win.

Before the game started, while the hustle and bustle of getting to the rink and into a bleacher seat before the opening face-off was still clattering through the rink, there was a special presentation. One that should stop us in our tracks if we’re listening and truly present in the moment. I know it stopped me. While the words were being spoken over the PA system a lump formed in my throat as I listened and scanned my own internal memory reel for the loving faces throughout my lifetime that have battled with cancer.

(Sage Photo)

It was Pink in the Rink night at Rochester Arena and both teams paid tribute with pink tape on sticks, pink socks for the home team, and a list of players on both sides as well as who (cancer battlers) they were playing for. Buckets were passed in hopes of raising a few dollars to be donated toward the ongoing battle with this life altering disease. Last I had heard there was well over $300 raised in that small gathering on a February night at the local hockey rink.

So, the time I had discussed with my wife on our phone call before the game, regarding when to expect me home after the game was no longer accurate. We had some plans but now that didn’t matter for the moment because I was glad to be in that place at that time, just to slow down, and take the time to honor others, and remember others still.

With a nicely paved parking lot, better lighting in the rink area, an open concession stand, and a full house it was time for some hockey. Due to sickness, injuries, and coaches decisions, the Grizzlies had roughly 8 goals and 17 assists not dressed for the game on Saturday night. Regardless, it took Goffstown only 10 seconds to get on the board first. Grady Chretien scored his 60th career goal from the doorstep after Eric DesRuisseaux made a shot pass to the front of the net that was deflected by Drew O’Brien and Grady tucked the puck into the net. That goal tied him for the all-time goal scoring record in GHS Hockey history.

(Sage Photo)

He tied Dan Mercier ’02, and Noah Charron ’18, with 60 career goals. Mercier scored his 60 in two seasons, while Charron tallied his goals over four seasons, leading the team in goals scored for 3 straight years.

Over the next 10 minutes of game time both teams had numerous shots on goal and a few penalties called as well. At 4:40 of the period James Amorelli made a miraculous sprawling glove save moving to his left to keep the Grizzlies ahead. Then at 8:03 he made a wonderful pad save on Spaulding’s Colby Stuart to hold the lead. At 9:12 of the period Spaulding was called for a tripping penalty and put Goffstown on the power play. The Grizzlies cashed in when Colby Wright scored on a gorgeous play from Grady Chretien to take a 2-0 lead. Less than half a minute later, Grady Chretien made more history when he buried his 61st career goal on a set up from Drew O’Brien, and it was 3-0. Spaulding kept skating hard and creating chances. They were rewarded with a goal at 11:18 when Nate Gagnon scored from Hunter Camire to cut the lead to 3-1. Goffstown scored a pair of backbreaking goals in the final minute of the period to really open up the lead. First, at 14:26, Jack Wilkinson scored from Luke Ouellette on a nice play.

(Sage Photo)

Then, at 14:55, Drew O’Brien scored on a pass from Grady Chretien to make it 5-1 to end the period. Both teams had 19 shots on goal in the period. Amorelli made 18 saves, while Matt Lacey made 14 saves.

In the second period, Goffstown picked up where they left off, scoring three more goals and allowing just one. Chretien scored his 3rd goal of the game on a feed from Gamache at 6:11 of the period. Matt Lacey was pulled from the net after the goal, and #30 came in to play goal for the rest of the game for Spaulding. A few minutes later, Gamache scored on a shorthanded bid set up by Drew O’Brien at 8:27 to bring Goffstown’s lead up to 7-1. Spaulding got one goal back at 9:07 when Colby Stuart scored a goal assisted by Ryan Hatfield. Then, at 10:51 of the period O’Brien scored a goal on a pass from Gamache. Goffstown led 8-2 on the scoreboard after two periods even though Spaulding had the edge in shots at 31-28.

(Sage Photo)

The third period featured running time which is probably one of my least favorite rules in high school hockey. I am all for sportsmanship and also for competition, but this rule makes a mockery of the game at the high school level. Somewhat related, I can remember losing high school basketball games by more than 50 points a few times, and all that did to me was motivate me. Nobody had to soften the rules for me or my team, we just needed to execute better and improve if we wanted a less lopsided result.

Anyways, for the second half of this game Goffstown had scaled back the number of shifts that the top line was getting as a group. But then sometimes, everything goes your way, and that’s how it was for Grady Chretien. He only skated a couple of shifts in the third period and he had both Goffstown goals. The puck found him, and he found the net. At 4:20 of the period he scored on a sweet set up from Theo Milianes and Colby Gamache. Then at 9:40 he scored his fifth goal of the night on a power play set up from Drew O’Brien and Bograd. Spaulding did strike for a pair of goals in the period, both being scored by Adam Enscoe.

(Sage Photo)

First, Enscoe scored an unassisted goal at 5:05. Then on the power play, Enscoe scored from Hunter Camire and Nate Gagnon at 11:00. The game would end with a 10-4 final score. Spaulding did pile up 42 shots on James Amorelli who turned away 38 of them. Goffstown amassed 32 shots and had the better quality chances overall.

Goffstown improved to 9-2 in the season standings which moved them into first place as Keene and Merrimack both lost in the last week. The Grizzlies travel to the old barn in Wolfeboro to play an always tough opponent, Kingswood on Wednesday night, February 5th. Here are the standings in D-II through last night.

We Asked 15 Wine Pros: Which Cabernet Sauvignon Offers the Best Bang for Your Buck?

Of all the noble grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon wins the popularity contest. Coming in as the most sought-after red varietal stateside, the grape’s beauty lies in its adaptability.

Cabernet Sauvignon hails from a diverse range of vineyards across the globe, from France and the U.S., to South Africa and Australia. Due to its ability to grow in a wide variety of regions and impressive ageability, Cabernet’s styles and prices can vary greatly.

Looking beyond Bordeaux, VinePair enlisted the expert advice of wine professionals around the U.S. to find out which bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon present the very best value for your money, according to the experts.

“Everybody knows that Cabernet Sauvignon and Napa Valley go hand in hand. However, you’ll be paying quite a bit for that experience. If you’re on a budget, or just looking to expand your horizons, look to Washington State’s Columbia Valley. Its high-quality soils are available to winemakers at less than a third of Napa Valley’s [prices], and that’s a huge benefit to cost-conscious consumers. Just now entering their prime, these desert-climate vineyards produce wine of quality to rival California but at a fraction of the cost. Mainstays such as Chateau Ste. Michelle are easily found and dependable selections, and have offerings from entry-level up to boutique, single-vineyard wines.” — Matthew Emborski, Varia at Hilton Norfolk The Main, Norfolk, Va.

“Clos du Val is the house that, for me, [is] all about consistency — without [the] bells and whistles of marketing and showmanship. It’s all the flavors and intensity you want from Cabernet, and the Napa pedigree people are looking for.” — Jeff Harding, Wine Director, Waverly Inn & Garden, NYC

Donate: Jeff Harding Venmo

“Finding value in Cabernet is always a bit tricky, but I think the Mount Eden Vineyards Estate Cabernet Sauvignon always over-delivers.” — Rusty Rastello, Wine Director, SingleThread, Healdsburg, Calif.

Donate: NAACP; The United Sommeliers Foundation

“Aslina, [a] Cabernet Sauvignon out of South Africa, is absolutely delicious. The winemaker Ntsiki Biyela is South Africa’s first Black female winemaker and she has dedicated this wine to her grandmother, Aslina. The grapes are from the Stellenbosch region of South Africa, which has a maritime climate quite similar to Bordeaux.” — Theo Lieberman, Beverage Director, 232 Bleecker, NYC

Donate: 232 Bleecker Gift Cards

“D‘Arenberg is known for Shiraz but also makes some stellar Cabernet Sauvignon. The Originals High Trellis (this was the first d’Arenberg vineyard to be trained above knee-height) is barrel-fermented in small batches, and stays in the same batches for the entire winemaking process up to final blending. There’s also this vibrant acidity that keeps the wine light on its feet while still full of expressive blackberry, cherry, sage, and mint notes.” — Stefanie Schwartz, Sommelier, Portale, NYC

Donate: Stefanie Schwartz Venmo

“Rotation Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon from Lodi, Calif. [A] straightforward Cab Sauv from a further inland area of Northern California, it has the classic vanilla notes from oak aging and silky tannins, but the finish is refreshing with flavors of ripe cherries. Perfect summer Cab.” — Emmanuelle Massicot, Assistant General Manager, Kata Robata, Houston

“Ultraviolet Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, a young project by female winemaker Samantha Sheehan. I worked with her POE Pinot Noir during my retail days, and the wines definitely express her inspiration and admiration for Burgundy. The Ultraviolet is an homage to the California climate she grew up in, and is such a classic California expression: dark ripened fruit, damp forest floor with soft tannins, and acidity give the wine a balance and a freshness altogether. This is a wine that screams for food, especially grilled foods and barbecued meats during this time of year.” — Madeline Maldonado, Beverage Director, da Toscano, NYC

“[F]or the best value Cabernet Sauvignon, I look to the lesser-known regions of Paso Robles (Central California) and Bergerac (just east of Bordeaux). One of my particular favorites recently is from Château Tour des Gendres, an organic winery in Bergerac. Like most Bordeaux, their wines are blends featuring both Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Malbec.” — Marianna Caldwell, Assistant General Manager and Sommelier, Cassia, Santa Monica, Calif.

“Domaine de l’Ecu is mainly known for its Muscadet in the Loire Valley, but winemaker Fred Niger makes interesting Cabernet Sauvignon, too. ‘Red Noz’ shows a completely different side of Cabernet. It’s leaner, with tart black fruit and peppery flavors. If you are looking for something different, this is worth a try!

From Skate 3, Tyngsborough, MA – January 18, 2020

After a week off from game play, the Goffstown Grizzlies returned to the ice to play the Admirals of Alvirne-Milford (AM). The Admirals came into the game with a record of 2-4 while Goffstown was 7-2. In the end, the Grizzlies managed a 7-3 win on the road.

This game was a lot more than a 7-3 affair though. For one, this was a 4-3 game in the third period. Second, Madeline Sage may not be wrapped in the largest of packages but she was immense in this victory. Third, Colby Gamache and Grady Chretien are pretty good hockey players, and they had a day. Fourth, Goffstown hockey history again was made and I will tell you all about it.

(Sage Photo)

Actually, before I go into this, I had to huddle with myself several times to discuss what I saw. I changed my mind numerous times, and even changed it back. Anyways, the Grizzlies came out on their first shift and held the puck in the offensive zone for what seemed like the first two minutes of the game. They didn’t get any shots on goal, but they held the puck for quite awhile. Then, on their first shot of the game, the white hot, Grady Chretien hit the top corner with a shot from the high slot to get Goffstown on the board. Xavier Bibaud had the lone assist on the goal when he kept the puck in at the left point and worked it over to Chretien. The goal came at 2:24 of the opening period. Really, the first period was just a lot of shots on goal with not a whole lot of defense being played. Well, at least, not a lot of shut down, in your face, challenge every shot kind of defense anyway. Despite that, Maddie Sage was spot on.

(Sage Photo)

At 3:00 of the period, Sage made a great right pad save on an Admiral breakaway opportunity. Alvirne-Milford scored at 5:12 of the period when Hayden Ricard scored from Corey Girouard to tie the game at, 1-1. When the game started, pretty much everyone who counts themselves a part of G-Town Nation knew that Colby Gamache was only a couple of points (exactly three points) away from 100 points in his career. At 8:11 of the period, that became only 2 points away when Chretien struck again, this time set up by Gamache. Then at 9:34 of the period, on the power play, Gamache scored from Theo Milianes and Grady Chretien. The period would end with Goffstown holding a 3-1 lead. You might think, well this is going to be a runaway, but that was not the case. AM just wouldn’t go away, to their credit. Shots were tallied at 14-13 in favor of the Admirals.

The first half of the second period was littered with penalties, both real and imagined, or even missed. Goffstown would end up winning the shots battle, 10-5, but the period was dysfunctional as a result of the penalties. Both teams scored one goal apiece in the period, and they came just 11 seconds apart. Goffstown struck first, at 9:07, when Colby Gamache scored his 100th career point on a power play goal. Gamache’s historic achievement was set up by Theo Milianes and Jackson Burke. Teammates celebrated with much exuberance and the Goffstown faithful cheered along with the Grizzlies. While the feeling was still very much alive, the Admirals scored to cut into the Goffstown lead. Zach Greer scored the goal on assists from Chris Bedard and Anthony DeRosa. There would be another penalty called, but that was about it.

(Sage Photo)

After two periods, Goffstown led 4-2, and Gamache was the newest member of the Goffstown 100-point club, joining Griffin Cook 122, Sebastian Beal 114, Noah Charron 110, and Dan Mercier 109.

Even though history was being made, we had a 4-2 game starting the third period. Alvirne-Milford was still very much alive and kicking in this game. Then at 3:18 of the period Zach Sabetti scored on a shot that bounced on the way to the net, and hopped past Sage in net. The goal was unassisted and made the score, 4-3 in favor of the visitors. What was even more unsettling about the goal was the fact that the Grizzlies couldn’t clear the puck. That, and Sage had already made a pair of saves just before the goal was scored. Less than two minutes later Jackson Burke made a pass off of the half wall to start the breakout. The only problem was that the pass landed right on the stick of Kevin Sullivan for the Admirals. Sullivan got a quick shot away, but Maddie Sage was equal to the task, making the save. At 6:05 of the period I put an asterisk in my note pad for this Grizzlies goal. There was a race to the puck that was nearly and end to end sprint. Chretien won the race to the puck and he fired a pass to the front of the net where Gamache pushed the puck past King into the net. It was a great goal that came from two players going full speed to attempt making something out of nothing.

(Sage Photo)

Just over a minute later the Admirals were awarded a penalty shot when Jackson Burke was called for picking up the puck in the crease after yet another Sage save. Matt Ryan took the penalty shot and skated in on Sage with good speed before ripping a shot off of the post. Goffstown and AM exchanged minor penalties over the next few minutes. Then at 11:56 of the period Gamache scored his fourth consecutive goal on assists from Luke Ouellette and Eric DesRuisseaux. A minute later, Gamache sent Chretien in on a shorthanded break with a perfectly weighted pass and Grady did the rest, scoring his third goal of the night. Goffstown led 7-3, and that’s how the game would end. The final shots favored Goffstown 36-34 for the game. Both goaltenders played well in this game. Sage was brilliant with 31 saves on 34 shots. Brayden King may have allowed 7 seven goals on the night, but he did make some very good saves along the way.

Goffstown improved to 8-2 in the season standings and they don’t play again until next month when they go to Rochester for a game against Spaulding on February 1st. Here are the standings in DII through the weekend.

From Thomas F. Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH – January 8, 2020

The Grizzlies welcomed the Keene Blackbirds to Sullivan Arena on Wednesday night for a contest with one of the top teams in Division II hockey. Goffstown scored first and then gave up 4 straight goals in the second and third periods. A pair of Keene’s goals were scored on power play opportunities, they were 2 for 2 with the extra skater. The Grizzlies stormed back but could not score on their power play chances, and fell 4-3.

Most of the first period was spent with both teams playing good hockey and it was fun to watch. Goffstown scored first when Jackson Burke made a gorgeous rush up the ice and dropped a pass in the slot for Jack Wilkinson. Wilkinson was tied up by a defender and the puck dropped behind him, right on to the stick of Colby Gamache. Gamache picked his spot and wired a wrist shot past Jacob Russell for a 1-0 lead at 4:57. The Grizzlies still had their troubles at times with trying to secure the puck in the in their own end, and then break out with it. This would catch up to them in the second period. Madeline Sage made 10 saves on 10 shots in the first period, and some of those were from very close range. Theo Milianes took a slashing penalty with 17 seconds left in the opening period and that too caught up with Goffstown in the second period. Keene held the edge in shots at 10-8 for the first period.

Jackson Burke had a nice game for the Grizzlies but this shot didn’t go too far. (Jen Webber Photography)

Jerred Tattersall possesses one of the best shots in all of Division II hockey, in my opinion. He is a goal scorer, a finisher. In the second period he scored a natural hat trick. His first goal of the period came at 1:25 on the aforementioned penalty being served by Milianes. Peter Haas had the lone assist on the play. Just a few seconds before the goal, Keene had hit the post with a shot. I thought that Goffstown was much better on their defensive assignments in this game despite being down another one of their top defenseman for this game. Keene may be one of the better offensive zone teams that Goffstown will see this year, especially the Black Birds first line. The value of possession of the puck for the Grizzlies especially when attempting to break out of their own end continues to plague them. Keene capitalized on that very trouble over the entire second period. At 7:25 of the period Tattersall scored again, this time from Joe Walsh. At 8:40 of the period, Peter Haas snagged a failed clearing attempt and walked in from the left point only to ring his shot off of the corner where the crossbar and post come together. Then at 11:04 Maddie Sage made an impossible save on Tattersall’s clean breakaway attempt. I am still unsure how she kept that puck out of the net. Jerred’s third goal was assisted by Peter Haas, and came at 12:10. These goals were the result of a great finishing touch by Tattersall but also came after Goffstown either had the puck or had an opportunity to clear the puck, and Keene ended up in possession of the little black rubber disc. Ben Brown took his turn when he hit iron with a shot off of the crossbar at 13:08. Keene would finish the period with a 3-1 lead, even though shots were even at 9-9 in the period.

Grady Chretien had a memorable night despite the loss. Here he gets a little love from the Keene defender. (Jen Webber Photography)

The Grizzlies played a pretty decent third period, but Keene would cash in when they were given advantages. Goffstown took a penalty for too many skaters on the ice at 3:51 of the third period. It took Keene only 8 seconds to convert on their power play chance. Ben Brown scored from Peter Haas and the Keene lead had grown to 4-1 at 3:59 of the period. Goffstown wasn’t about to give up, and they answered with a goal of their own only 20 seconds later. Jackson Burke scored from Jack Wilkinson and Luke Ouellette on a nice play consisting of perseverance and puck movement. Goffstown trailed 4-2 in the final period and that’s when looking back at missed chances, or chances given start to cloud the thought process. For example, at 3:06 of the period the Grizzlies had won an offensive zone faceoff back to Eric DesRuisseaux at the left point. DesRusiseaux stepped into a nice hard shot that beat Russell, but it clanked off of the near side post and went wide. Right after that, Keene scored on their power play.

Goffstown was getting chances and playing well despite trailing by two goals. Then Colby Gamache made a brilliant rush through center ice and was skating hard for the net when he dished the puck to Grady Chretien on his left. Chretien put the puck in the net for an historic goal, his 50th career goal. It was a great play. I only know of three other players that have eclipsed that mark in their Goffstown careers. Dan Mercier (’02) had 60 goals. Noah Charron (’18) had 60. Sean Naughton (’04) had 54 goals, and now Grady has 50, and counting.

The Grizzlies now trailed 4-3 with lots of time left to play. At 10:37 of the period, Joe Walsh took a double minor penalty for high sticking and unsportsmanlike conduct. Goffstown had the advantage for a whole four minutes and even though they came close, including pulling Sage from the net at 14:00 of the period, the Grizzlies could not get the equalizer. Goffstown led the shots count 13-5 in the period, and 30-24 for the game but fell short on the scoreboard, 4-3.

Hopefully Goffstown will get at least one of their defenseman back for Friday’s afternoon home game against Dover. Dover comes to town with a 5-0 record and a 26-7 goal advantage over their opponents. Then less than 24 hours later, the Grizzlies will play host to Somersworth-Coe-Brown at noon on Saturday.

So, after the game and going to my son’s practice over at West Side Arena, I got home and I started writing. As I finished up, I received a string of pictures of tonight’s action from Maureen Sage. I downloaded them, and uploaded them, and so on, just to add them to this post. Then as I was finishing that, I got a string of pictures from Jen Webber covering the game tonight. The pictures from both young ladies are awesome, as always. What was even more cool was that they got pictures of some of the same plays from different angles at the same time. So here, I present some galleries from two people that I cannot thank enough for their contributions to me, to these articles, to the team, and to our community. Thank you. Enjoy!

From Thomas F. Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH – December 23, 2019

Monday night the Grizzlies hosted an always well coached team from Lebanon in their fourth and final game before Christmas. Goffstown exploded for 4 goals on their first 8 shots of the game and skated to a 7-3 win to improve their record to 4-0 so far this season.

It’s not uncommon to have the first attempt or two at a December game with Lebanon to be postponed due to weather between here and the Upper Valley. On Monday though, the weather could not have been much more beautiful for a 23rd day of December, with sun, blue sky, and temperatures in the 50’s. It was warm outside for this time of the year.

Photo by Charron

Goffstown started the game like they were warm and ready to go. Actually, they started like they were more like red hot and ready to go. By the time 10:21 of game time had run off of the clock the Grizzlies were up 4-0 and were shooting at an astounding 50% clip with four goals on eight shots. Lebanon took their timeout in the opening period and made a change in net.

The first period ended up being even in shots at 8-8. Goffstown just did a great job of creating golden chances to score and then converted on them. Before we get to that though, Madeline Sage made a real nice right pad save for the Grizzlies at 4:31 of the period to keep the game scoreless. Then Goffstown hit on one chance after another for about four straight minutes. First, Grady Chretien scored on a great feed from Theo Milianes at 6:07. At 8:07 Calvin Sage made a series of moves to get in tight before setting up Luke Ouellette for a sweet goal. It’s fun to watch plays that end up with the puck in the back of the net especially when there is maximum effort mixed with skills and patience to make the right play. Then at 8:33 Milianes took his turn scoring after Chretien and Colby Gamache moved the puck beautifully to set him up.

Then Chretien struck again from Gamache at 10:21 and it was 4-0 Grizzlies. The period would end with score at 4-0. Goffstown started mixing in deeper line changes and the next two periods would be played in a much different manner. The rest of the game would be even on the scoreboard at, 3-3.

It was pretty clear that Lebanon was a different team after the first 10 minutes of the game, and that wasn’t Toby Cromwell’s fault. He was the goalie pulled in the first period. He may want some of those shots back but Goffstown had point blank chances to score on all of them. Either way, the Raiders skated with much more conviction in periods two and three. Hunter Robb played net in relief for Lebanon, but Sage showed she was on her game when she made a tremendous save on Jon Cloud’s breakaway at 0:39 of the period.

Grady Chretien scored his third goal of the night at 2:31 on a play set up by Gamache and Brennan Pierce. Jack Wilkinson was whistled for interference at 3:18, giving the Raiders a power play chance.Then Eric Purcell came within a whisker of being ejected when he was called for a major penalty on a check from behind. This gave the Raiders a 5-on-3 power play opportunity and they cashed in right away. Jon Cloud who was not only the Raiders best player by far, he was fun to watch. He is a threat from anywhere on the ice with his speed, reach, and ability to get to the net. He scored on the power play from Griffin Auch to make the score 5-1 at 4:09. Goffstown killed the remaining time on the major penalty but the shots added up as a result. There was no more scoring in the period, but Lebanon had a 13-8 advantage in shots for the period. Maddie Sage made saves when she had to and kept Goffstown in firm control.

Cloud was flying again in the third period. He made a brilliant move to create a great scoring chance early in the final period, but Maddie Sage made the save at 0:40 of the period. Lebanon would end up winning the shots battle in the 3rd period too, 10-6. Despite that fact, Jackson Burke made his shot count when he cranked in a goal ‘bar-down’ on a set up from Eric DesRuisseaux at 5:09. Then Goffstown got a gorgeous goal, from Grady Chretien on a sensational backhand from the slot at 5:56. The goal was his fourth of the night, and was assisted by Jake Klardie and DesRuisseaux.

Lebanon’s Jon Cloud went on the equivalent of a 40-yard sprint and snagged his second goal of the evening at 6:23, from Andrew Duany. Cloud struck again at 8:38 for a hat trick of his own, with the lone assist going to Jake Kriplin. The Raiders took a pair of minor penalties in the last two and a half minutes but nothing came of it.

Chretien had a night that made up for all of the times that Ben Hardy robbed him a week ago against Merrimack. Maddie Sage played well in net for the Grizzlies and despite three goals from Cloud, two of them were scored when he was completely alone in on net after beating everyone on defense.

The Grizzlies will be playing hockey at JFK Coliseum in Manchester on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in the Brian C. Stone Memorial Christmas Hockey Tournament. While Lebanon will play in the Hartford High’s Phil Bouthillier Holiday Classic in Hartford, Vermont.
