Sparkling Wines
Perelada Brut Reserva Cava
Penedes, Spain, NV
An excellent Cava, this wine has a very pale straw yellow color with elegant, fine bubbles. On the nose, typical varietal aromas of citrus and almond flower are prominent. A pleasant, fresh palate of apricot, apple, lemon and pear with a mild, creamy texture, leads to a soft, toasty finish. This is a traditional blend of Cava grapes, with 40% Xarel-lo, 30% Macabeau, and 30% Parellada. Wine has been made at the Castillo Perelada since the Middle Ages, as shown in several documents and parchments from the period to be found in their library.

Champagne Moutard Brut Réserve
Côte des Bar, Champagne, France, NV
The families of Champagne Moutard have been living in the village of Buxeuil since the mid 17th century, and have a long tradition of both grape growing and wine production. Located in the Côte des Bar, the vineyard soils are made up of clay and limestone, both of which lead to rich, fruity aromas and good minerality. Non-vintage wines such as the Brut Réserve are all cellar-aged for at least three years. Even though not labelled as a ‘Blanc de Blancs’, this wine is 100% Chardonnay. Apple blossom and spice notes are underscored by ripe green melon, honey, pastry dough and smoke details in this creamy Champagne. Lively acidity firms the mouthwatering finish. While seafoods like oysters, scallops, sushi and sashimi are the ultimate classic pairing to a Champagne this style, don’t miss out on matching it up with some crispy fried chicken, or a creamy potato soup with crusty bread.

White Wines
Mànnara Pinot Grigio
Sicily, Italy, 2023
This is a smooth, dry white from Western Sicily, where the long hours of hot sun lend a little extra body to a variety more familiar from the Veneto region further north. In spite of the southern heat, the alcohol by volume is kept to a modest 11.5%, making this a great choice for parties and other get-togethers where quantity is required as well as quality, and its peachy, citrusy character, with a snappy, crisp finish, will please a discerning crowd. This wine pairs great with a lot of traditional Sicilian foods, like pasta in Sicilian Pesto made with almonds, tomatoes, basil, garlic and Pecorino cheese, or Baked Sardines stuffed with pine nuts, raisins and breadcrumbs.

Bohigas 'X' Xarel-lo
Catalunya, Spain, 2023
The wine has aromas and flavors of bright lemon, green apple, fresh herbs and spices. It is light-bodied with apple undertones and a fruity finish. The grape Xarel-lo is not unknown to us wine geeks, but we are much more accustomed to seeing it as a background element in blended Spanish wines, especially in the sparkling wines of Cava. This however is a delicious example of the grape as the main focus of a non-bubbly wine, one of the few of this grape we've encountered. For more than 6 centuries the Bohigas family has been growing vines and managing their own vineyards with over 150 hectares. The vineyards a very well situated to grow white varieties as they get lots of sunshine but the evenings are very cool retaining the freshness in the wines. Fans of Sauvignon Blanc or Italian white wines should check this out!

The Curator White Blend
Swartland, South Africa, 2024
This tasty blend from South Africa is 80% Chenin Blanc, 10% Chardonnay, and 10% Viognier. Winemaker Adi Badenhorst says "There is so much high quality fruit in the Swartland that ends up unrecognizable in Bag-in-Box blends. I felt that by adding a little more care to the vinification of these grapes, while maintaining cost efficiency in production, we could produce wines that would be sure to turn a few heads for a very reasonable sum of money." He definitely delivers on that idea! Chenin Blanc is the backbone and structure of this blend. The Chardonnay was naturally fermented and took a long time to complete fermentation, resulting in great texture and aromas of dried peaches and apricots and ripe citrus. The Viognier, from one of Badenhorsts favorite growers and vineyards, completes the Swartland canvas and brings some spice and palate length to the wine. Aromas of lemon zest, green tropical fruits and spices lead to a palate of ripe, honeyed stonefruit and melon. It is a rich wine, but classically dry on the finish.

Carlos Serres Viura-Tempranillo Blanco

This great Spanish white is made mostly of Viura, the classic white grape of Rioja which drinks somewhat similar to Sauvignon Blanc, along with Tempranillo Blanco, a natural mutation of the red Tempranillo grape first found in 1988 and exclusive to the Rioja region. It has a bright yellow color, with aromas of apple and pineapple with subtle white floral characters. Green apple, pear, mint and almond flavors mingle through the round mouthfeel, while firm acidity keeps the fleshy texture balanced through the clean, stony finish.

Arona Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough, New Zealand, 2024
Arona Sauvignon Blanc is one of our favorite examples of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, and shows why this category has been so very popular for such a long time. It is pungent, with grassy and fresh-grated ginger notes on a mouthwatering frame. Passion fruit, green apple, mango and orange blossom flavors are juicy on the palate, and the finish is succulent and long. The grapes are grown in the Waverley Vineyard in the Awatere Valley, a region known for producing wines with a fresh, mineral accent. Try this with Baked Flounder with Mint, Tomato and Feta Cheese, or a Chopped Thai Chicken Salad with Spicy Peanut Dressing.

Berger Grüner Veltliner - Liter Bottles
Austria, 2024
This was the very first Grüner Veltliner I ever tasted, and I still think there is no better introduction to this compelling grape. It is a fresh and expressive wine, with citrus, floral and mineral flavors that linger in the mouth. It practically invites you to have a second glass. This wine is made by a father and son team, working 14 hectares of land. They use cultured yeasts to get a slow fermentation, work all in stainless steel, and were amongst the earliest Austrian wineries to utilize technology for controlling fermentation temperatures in the late 1980s. It has wonderful flavors of ripe peach, almond, lime and smoke. There is a good backbone of richness, with a long, almost creamy finish that has great touches of pepper and mineral.

Brooks Pinot Blanc
Willamette Valley, Oregon, 2024
If you visit the Willamette Valley in Oregon, we strongly recommend spending an afternoon tasting and sipping on the deck at Brooks Winery. That is where we first enjoyed this delightful Pinot Blanc, and excellent Oregon take on an Alsatian style wine. The 2024 growing season began with an early bud break, followed by warm and dry weather. Consistent sunshine throughout the summer allowed for optimal hang time, leading to a vintage with excellent concentration. Highly aromatic and delicious, this is a crowd pleasing wine, great for barbecues and beaches. It has loads of tropical and tree fruits, like apple, pear, peach, and nectarine, with accents of honeysuckle, camomile, cherry blossom, and a long finish. Great acidity makes this a top notch food wine, especially anything with crab. This is a wonderful selection to match the transition of Summer to Fall!

Bulletin Place Shiraz
South Eastern Australia, 2022
We’ve recently discovered the fantastic value that is Bulletin Place Shiraz and it quickly became our ‘go-to’, affordable Australian Shiraz. South Eastern Australia, rather than being classified as a wine region in the traditional sense, is officially classified as a ‘viticultural super zone.’ It measures some 1,250 miles and reaches from the Pacific coast in Queensland to the Indian Ocean. The sheer scale of this zone and the diversity of its climates, zones, and latitudes make it a virtual spice market for winemakers to choose from when selecting their vineyards and their grapes. This Shiraz has a deep red color with purple hues, and aromas of mixed berries and spice standing out alongside hints of mint and mocha. The palate is rich and lush, with dark cherries, ripe plum, boysenberry, and a hint of baking spice and chocolate. Juicy acidity is balanced with refined tannin to provide length and a rewarding finish.

Coelus Tempranillo Joven
Rioja, Spain, 2023
‘Joven’ means young in Spanish, and Joven wines are usually done without any oak, and are made in a ripe, fresh style for everyday enjoyment. The Tempranillo from Coelus is a prime example, and is a perfect Spanish table red for immediate enjoyment. It is powerful on the nose with a great variety of red fruits with a touch of forest floor and an exotic hint of violets coming through. The palate is soft and supple, with fresh accents of sweet black cherry, damson plum and blackcurrant. Vanilla and juicy wild berry fruits give way on the finish to more savory notes of baking spices and leather. This would be a wonderful companion to Chubby’s Chorizo Tacos or Quesadillas, but is also light enough that it could work with a hearty Cod dish with tomatoes and spicy peppers.

La Maialina 'Gertrude' Red Blend
Toscana IGT, Italy, 2022
45% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot
Gertrude has been our best selling Italian Red for at least 3 years now. This blend is what we might call a 'Baby' Super-Tuscan. The term Super-Tuscan was coined by journalists in the 1970’s to describe a handful of wines from Tuscany that were using non-traditional grapes. Due to the grapes used, these wines could only be called ‘Table Wines’ according to Italian wine laws, although their quality was far above normal table wine levels. This wine offers remarkable value for the complex flavors it delivers. A bright acidity supports robust flavors of grilled meat, fennel, spice, black cherry, dark chocolate and tobacco into a satisfying, lengthy finish.

Due to the grapes used, these wines could only be called ‘Table Wines’ according to Italian wine laws, although their quality was far above normal table wine levels. This wine offers remarkable value for the complex flavors it delivers. A bright acidity supports robust flavors of grilled meat, fennel, spice, black cherry, dark chocolate and tobacco into a satisfying, lengthy finish.

Electric Bee Primitivo
Salento IGT, Italy, 2022
This is a fantastic example of Primitivo coming from Salento in Southern Italy. Primitivo is a bold, dark red, which probably arrived in Italy from Croatia where it is still grown under several tongue-twisting names, and it was also introduced into the United States in the early 19th Century under the name Zinfandel. Playful and expressive, this has loads of red plum, rhubarb, pomegranate fruit flavors with accents of rose and cedar. The area where this is grown is typically hot, with wines tending toward a heavier style, but this fresh example is actually very light on its feet, a welcome surprise. The lighter style of this makes it a red wine that really shines with a light chill on the temperature. A classic pairing from where this was made is next to Pizza Rustica, which is topped with tomatoes, onions, capers, garlic and anchovies.

Château Grand Jean Bordeaux Supérieur
Bordeaux Supérieur, France, 2022
45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 5% Malbec, 5% Petit Verdot.
Bordeaux is synonymous with greatness - and rules. They govern everything from which varieties can be planted and where to when grapes can be picked. Bordeaux’s young winemakers, however, are bending those rules to create more complex flavors in the glass. Sisters Sophie and Carole Dulon age some of this wine in American oak barrels, resulting in a bolder-flavored red. Château Grand Jean Bordeaux Supérieur epitomizes the region’s classic balance of fruit flavors and soft tannins, but with a smoother, more modern feel and spice notes from the wine’s oak aging. Bold red berry, cassis and red licorice scents lead to subtle, juicy flavors of crushed red berries, savory spices and cracked white pepper. There are noticable yet approachable tannins on the lengthy finish. Dark chocolate and grilled meats would make nice pairing partners.

Seghesio Old Vine Zinfandel
Sonoma County, California, 2022
It's often said that Zinfandel is the only truly American grape, and in many ways, the Seghesio family story is a true reflection of the American dream. The family of immigrants planted vines in Sonoma back in 1895, and they have persevered through prohibition, earthquakes, fires and droughts. Sustainability has become a central tenet of their farming and viticultural practices with the continued health of their vineyards and the next five generations always in mind.
"Like a briar patch in a glass, this Zin offers spirited raspberry and cherry flavors that take on underbrush, dried sage and white pepper flavors before finishing with zesty tannins"

Paul Hobbs Pinot Noir
Russian River Valley, California, 2022
Paul Hobbs is one of the most lauded California winemakers of the last several decades, making top tier examples of Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir. This one certainly measures up to his past successes!
“The 2022 Pinot Noir has a slowly blossoming perfume of raspberry, pomegranate and blackberry with notes of licorice, rooibos tea and forest floor. The light-bodied palate is supple and juicy with crunchy red fruit and a long, spicy finish. It’s a brighter, leaner style than usual but very
easy to drink!”
