“The latest vintage of our extraordinary blend enchants the nose with a refreshing bouquet of succulent fruit and delicate florals, opening with juicy honeydew melon, sweet white peach, and ripe green plum touched with hints of spiced white tea and soft apple blossom. The vivacious palate leads with crisp yellow grapefruit, fresh-cut pineapple and sumptuous honeyed pear notes. Lush and lively fruit flavors linger through the clean and slightly off-dry finish.”

Here, we travel to the Rioja wine region in Spain where Tempranillo is king and American oak barrels are used prodigiously in the wine making process. The term ‘Crianza’ refers to a wine that has been aged for a minimum of 2 years with 6 months of oak aging.
This is a SPECTACULAR Rioja for the price!
“… The nose demands coaxing from the glass, but it eventually offers a crisp, natural bouquet of dark berries, burnt toast and singed leather. The palate is very well balanced, with lithe tannins that caress the mouth. The oak is seamlessly integrated towards the lingering, supple finish. This is a very well-crafted, natural Rioja."

This California Chardonnay is made with organic grapes and certified by the California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF).
“Lucinda and Millie happily coexist on our vineyard farm in beautiful Mendocino County. These animals along with our vines thrive in this atmosphere where tradition and natural practices bring balance and healthy lifestyle”
The Chardonnay opens with a yellow-green straw color and luscious aromas of ripe pears and fall apples; a slight hint of vanilla bean sneaks past. The wine coats the palate with a rich and round texture, flavors of citrus and orchard fruit, and leaves behind an acidity that keeps the palate fresh. Try it with spinach ricotta pie, lemon and herb roasted chicken, and spicy baked shrimp.

The Italian viticultural area known as the "Langhe" is situated in north-western Italy in the province of Piedmonte, at the foot of the Alps. It is here you will find some of Italy's most noble red wines made from the variety known as Nebbiolo. Nebbiolo (from the word 'nebbia', which means fog) is king of the Langhe and produces wines that are lightly colored, highly tannic, and which offer scents of tar and roses.
This Langhe Nebbiolo is a great entry to the category which includes Barolo, Barbaresco, Gattinara, and a few others. Although those wines fetch much higher prices, the Nebbiolo from Monchiero will offer an expression of Nebbiolo without breaking the bank.
Light, bright ruby red color. Straightforward fruity aromas of cherry, plum, strawberry, and red flowers. A bit more depth and grip than the light color and bouncy, fruity nose would lead you to expect. The acid is strong, and noticeable tannin makes this a very food-frinedly wine. Clingy flavors of dark cherry and some roasted herbal resin.
Try it with Venison, roasted meats, pasta with a strong meat sauce, beef casseroles, and salami. $15.99
