Coteaux Champenois Still Wine

admin — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 17:02:33 +0000

The Sparkling history of Champagne is only about 300 years old. Wine Producers in Champagne spent most of their time trying to get rid of the bubbles in their bottles. It wasn’t until January of 1730 that the first case of bubbles was actually shipped. It took time to figure out how to work with this “glorious accident” of bubbles.

Before the bubble production started, Champagne was very much about still wine. For some time Champagne was actually Burgundy’s main rivalry. But by the 1800s sparkling champagne was all the rage with various Royalty throughout Europe.

Today still Champagne is called Coteaux Champenois. If you haven’t heard of it, you’re not alone. Very little still Champagne is produced. Even less is exported. The appellation covers red, white, and rose wines. Though the majority is red, white and rose are made in very small production.

Coteaux Champenois

Characteristics:

Yeasty green apple
citrus
lemon pulp
tart acid
almond skin

But more notably is that it is 100% Chardonnay from Champagne without the bubbles.

And a slice of Brie is the perfect side kick to the wine.

A Toast to the Arts: Show Your Culture

admin — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 21:59:35 +0000

We often take it for granted that we live in a city brimming with arts and culture. Houston, now officially the most diverse city in the country, is a hotbed of creative art expression. Theater, Music, Film, Fine Arts, or Dance: It’s difficult to find any night of the week without a performance, concert, art opening, film opening, or creative gathering.

Here at CHA, we make it a point to toast daily to the finer things in life: a bustling metropolis filled with arts patrons who don’t need a coat check on a 75 degree winter night in January is one of them. So in attempt to celebrate our fine city’s dedication to the arts, we extend a special offer to art lovers city-wide.

Stop in to CHA any night, before or after your night out at the theater, a play, a concert, or an opening; show us your ticket stub and receive 10% off your total check. It’s that simple. Show us your culture. We’ll show you our hospitality. Cheers to you, Houston!
