Nicolas-Jay friend Wes Jennison does not mess about. He shared these four bottles of 1976 Cuvée Dom Pérignon with his family and this nice photo with us. Thank you, Wes! ⠀ .⠀ #boisavecnous⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #nicolasjay #wine #champagne #ifnotnowthenwhen #boisavecnous #viensavecnous

Thanks to @bellingarestates for this beautiful #boisavecnous submission 💛 ・・・ Hey @nicolasjay great idea to open up some great bottles from the cellar! Now seems like the perfect time. All the adults here are drinking this 2009 Quarter Mile Lane by @adelsheim it is tasting wonderful: aromas of cherry pie filling and pomegranate. We are going to pair it with naan bread pizza and banana bread. . #viensavecnous . . . . . . . . . . #nicolasjay #wine #oregon #willamettevalley #oregonwine #pinotnoir #wvcommunity #winecountry #ifnotnowthenwhen #boisavecnous

Our friend @randall.bush from our Illinois distributor @tenzingws told us, ever since our first visit to the Willamette Valley, we were taken in by the warmth, honesty, and character of the region’s growers and producers. The wines are pure, complex, and diverse. We had planned to visit Oregon in June to spend time with our friends and colleagues there. Until we can visit, we want to support our friends in Oregon as best we can. Located at the highest elevation for Pinot at Seven Springs, this bottle reminds us of the history of the region and all the people who carry on the work.” Thank you!⠀ .⠀ #ifnotnowthenwhen #boisavecnous⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #nicolasjay #wine #oregon #selfquarantine #homecooking #burgundy #pinotnoir #ifnotnowthenwhen #wvcommunity #viensavecnous

Jean-Nicolas Méo here. Sorry if I am not on the photo, i thought it looked better without me ... And Nathalie was not available after preparing this very nice “quiche aux poireaux”. Well at Meo’s, there was Bordeaux reviewing this week, with a variety of regions and vintages. We also had a Chateau la Confession 2010 which was very good. The Barton 2013 was very good I thought but more difficult for some: nothing to do with the quality of the wine but more with the profile of the vintage: cold and acidic whereas the others were warm and sweet. Interesting although slightly distressing reaction I thought, I hope we do not lose the taste of these colder vintages ... To finish, we had some Génépi, a liquor from the Alps that is very popular in ski resorts. Now that they are all closed, we were just trying to recreate the ambiance ... The thing is not always very good but this one, from the “Pères Chartreux” is very delectable. A desert in itself. #boisavecnous

Associate Winemaker @tf_kendall opened one of her wedding wines this evening, a 2006 Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape, to pair with a wood-fired feast. And yes, that is a wood-fired oven at home, built by the Kendalls 💪 .⠀ #ifnotnowthenwhen #boisavecnous⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #nicolasjay #wine #oregon #selfquarantine #homecooking #burgundy #pinotnoir #ifnotnowthenwhen #viensavecnous

In this new era, we're all spending a lot of time at home. If you're like us, that also means opening wines we've been saving, asking ourselves why we shouldn't savor them now. ⠀ .⠀ Building community has never been more important, and in that spirit, we’re starting a new campaign sharing those special bottles we're opening, because if not now, then when? ⠀ .⠀ Our slogan at Nicolas-Jay has always been viens avec nous, (come with us): we're now inviting you to bois avec nous (drink with us). ⠀ .⠀ Please share those special bottles you're opening. We'd love to see you holding the bottle in question (the label should be in focus and *you* should be in the photo, too) and learn something about the wine, or what homecooked meal you paired that bottle with. Tag @nicolasjay in your posts and we'll reshare them here.⠀ . ⠀ Jay Boberg kicks off this series with a 1996 Coche-Dury Auxey-Duresses alongside salmon and roasted vegetables. Pas mal. ⠀ .⠀ #ifnotnowthenwhen #boisavecnous⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #nicolasjay #wine #oregon #selfquarantine #homecooking #burgundy #pinotnoir #ifnotnowthenwhen #viensavecnous
