Wine-of-the-Month Club
Led by Sommelier and Wine Director, Chris Russo (named San Diego's "Sommelier of the Year" for six consecutive years), NINE-TEN's "Wine of the Month" Club features a new wine each month, taking you on an excursion of local and global varietals and vineyards -- each complementing our globally-inspired, locally-sourced cuisine.
These special featured wines are offered at a 50% discount on Wednesdays, and a 20% discount every Thursday through Sunday during lunch, dinner and weekend brunch.
February Wine-of-the-Month:
Dom. Frédéric Esmonin, Estournelles Saint Jacques (1er Cru Vnyd), 1er Cru, 2023
Retail Price: $220
For a truly romantic Valentine’s Day, allow me to recommend the 2023 Frédéric Esmonin Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Estournelles Saint-Jacques, a seductive, elegant Pinot from a traditional family estate, blending concentrated depth with refined finesse and judicious oak.
High on the slopes near the “shadow Grand Cru” of Clos Saint-Jacques, its mineral-rich soils shine in the vibrant 2023 vintage, delivering bright ruby hues and intoxicating aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry, raspberry, violet petals, and subtle spice. On the silky palate, juicy berries dance with velvety tannins and saline freshness, ending in a long, pure finish that whispers romance.
Recommended Pairing: Our Smoked Liberty Duck Breast.
