Château de Callac Cuvée Prestige 2013
Graves AOC, France
The Palm Beach Story (1942)
Currently Not Scheduled
Writer-director Preston Sturges is known for his biting wit and irreverent storylines, and both are on display in this story of a married couple that divorces in order to swindle an unsuspecting millionaire. Like the blend of sweet Sémillon and citrusy Sauvignon Blanc in this delicious white wine, star Claudette Colbert’s elegance and Sturges’ script are perfect complements to each other, producing an unforgettable film comedy.
THE WINE
THE ESTATE
THE REGION
Bordeaux is home to fairy-tale châteaux and some of the world’s most celebrated, sought-after wines. Some of the most famous hail from the Graves region on the Left Bank. Located about 30 miles southeast of Bordeaux city, it’s home to First Growth Château Haut-Brion. In addition to classy, barrel-aged whites (like Château de Callac), it’s also known for fine, Cabernet-dominant reds.
WITH FOOD
With its lovely freshness and complex flavors, this Bordeaux will be delicious sipped solo or with goat cheese (Sauvignon’s classic match). At meal time, we suggest serving it with dishes that feature a creamy sauce to balance the Sauvignon’s crispness and play off the Sémillon’s honey notes. We like buttery lobster tail, tilapia with lemon sauce, or pasta primavera.
