Grove Life | Winter 2021

W hat better way to bring a group together than with wine? The image of wannabe hip-hop moguls drinking oversized bottles of Cristal in club corners has done nothing for the reputation of the magnum. But when it comes to wine, bigger often means better. There is something about a magnum, or “large formats” as they are called in the wine trade, that screams “celebration”. In addition to the theatrics of presenting and pouring from a magnum, these bottles also have unexpected benefits. Where the bottle itself doubles in size, the cork typically does not. Since corks are not entirely airtight, a small amount of oxygen seeps into any bottle over time, aging and developing the juice itself. Therefore, magnum bottles expose double the amount of wine to roughly the same amount of oxygen, lengthening the aging process and keeping wines fresher longer. Some special bottles we have in house: Miura Chardonnay Napa Valley Muira Matador Pinot Noir Pisoni Santa Lucia Highlands, CA Darioush Signature Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Krupp Brothers Veraison Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
