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.
May Wine-of-the-Month:
Alain Graillot Crozes-Hermitage AOP, N. Rhône Vly, FR, 2022 (Cabernet Sauvignon-based barrel selection)
(regular retail price: $105)
The 2022 Alain Graillot Crozes-Hermitage Blanc is an 80/20 blend of Marsanne and Roussanne, showcasing a deep golden color with a rich, broad, and honeyed character on the palate. It is characterized by its full-bodied texture and a finish with white pepper and surprising zest. Alain Graillot is one of the icons of the Rhône Valley. A small producer who has stuck to his morals on low intervention, classical old-school techniques, and the need to be “organic, without the fuss”. Sadly, Alain Graillot passed away in 2022 but his legacy lives on through his sons Maxime and Antoine who have made the wine since 2008.
