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.
June Wine-of-the-Month:
R. Lopez de Heredia, “Viña Tondonia”, Rioja DOCa, La Rioja, 2011 (70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha, 5% Graciano, 5% Mazuelo)
(regular retail price: $125)
The 2011 López de Heredia Viña Tondonia is a well-regarded Rioja Reserva known for its complexity, elegance, and ageability. It exhibits a vibrant red color with an amber rim and a light, fresh texture with notes of vanilla, red cherry, and dried berry aromas. The wine is rich, plush, very dry, and smooth, with firm tannins and good balance. It shows notes of iron, warm earth, savory tobacco leaves, plums, spices, and orange zest.
