An equal blend of Zweigelt and Pinot Noir and always a vintage wine, but must be declassified to NV because it is Charmat method. Light salmon color with reddish gold play of light, fine, persistent mousseux, delicate, fresh and very animating nose, fruit and spice with hints of fresh cherries and forest berries, a sophisticated note of citrus. Dry, fruit-driven yet creamy on the palate, finely woven with elegant acidity and mineral extract.Bayten Sauvignon Blanc Constantia, 2025 This Sauvignon Blancs showcases the best of South African winemaking and is produced in the Western Cape region. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes and gentle pressing to preserve the wine's freshness. The style of Bayten Sauvignon Blanc is characterized by its attractive floral and herbal nose, featuring delicious aromas of kiwi, melon and linden tea that repeat on the ample palate.Turley Wine Cellars Zinfandel Juvenile Napa Valley, 2023 Juvenile is actually composed of a variety of young vines that have been replanted in several of their old vine sites – range in age from about 6-25 years. Exuberant and expressive! Classic Zinfandel spice, brightly fruited and well structured, delightfully juicy and just downright delicious. Dark raspberry, blue fruits, soft tannins, and deeply pleasurable. This wine punches so far above its weight it’s in a class of its own.L’Ecole No. 41 Frenchtown Red, 2023 Frenchtown brings Bordeaux and the Rhône together in an eight-grape variety blend that ranges from Merlot to Mourvèdre. Fresh fruit aromas of dark cherry, blueberry, raspberry, and anise complemented by cocoa powder and violet floral notes. This easy-drinking wine offers an abundance of lively fruit, cinnamon sticks, and spice flavors framed by a medium body and finely textured tannins, leading to a harmoniously balanced, juicy, and enduring finish. Walla Walla, WAMary Taylor Anjou Blanc Pascal Biotteau, 2023 The 2023 vintage is fresher than the previous year, with less alcohol concentration. On the palate Chenin Blanc is bright, full-bodied, focused and rock solid at the core, with excellent transparency and cut, zesty acids and a long, complex and beautifully balanced finish. This is excellent Anjou Blanc! 2021-2035. Loire ValleyLunaria Terre di Chieti Pecorino Civitas, 2024 An aromatic and textured white wine made from biodynamically-farmed grapes, offering both freshness and complexity. The nose is vibrant, with notes of citrus blossom, pear, and green apple, accented by hints of wild herbs and crushed stone. Has a crisp and structured palate, with lively acidity framing orchard fruit, subtle spice, and a touch of salinity. The finish is clean and persistent, with mineral lift and herbal nuance. Abruzzo, ItalyMary Taylor AnnaMaria Sala Sicilia Rosso, 2024 Certified organic Nero d’Avola from Sicily, Italy. Shows off ripe cherries and succulent berries, subtly underscored by hints of spice, earth, and a mineral, saline finish due to its proximity to the sea. Its bright acidity intertwines gracefully on the palate with elegant fruit nuances, resulting in a translucent, chillable red wine of remarkable complexity.Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Selection Cotes du Rhone Mon Coeur, 2023 Northern Rhône maestro Jean-Louis Chave’s magnificent négociant-bottling of ‘Mon Coeur’ Côtes du Rhône hails from parcels of mature rootstock around Vinsobres and Cairanne. A deliciously ripe blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre, this Côtes du Rhône wine has a wonderful core of dark, berry fruit supported by a framework of ripe tannin with cooling, granite notes and a sleek, sophisticated texture.Left Coast Pinot Gris The Orchards Willamette Valley, 2024 Our Pinot Gris takes its name and stone fruit palette from a remnant orchard on the property, planted by Oregon Trail settlers. Appropriately enough given its name, this Pinot Gris flashes ripe aromas of pear and apple to go along with touches of cinnamon and watercress. This is a light-bodied wine with an airy texture, gentle acidity and modicums of pear and lemon flavors. Pair with shrimp scampi and your next karaoke air guitar solo. Michael Alberty, Wine EnthusiastAsnella Vinho Verde, 2024 Vinos Atlántico was founded with the purpose of preserving the winemaking heritage of Alberto Orte's family. Independently producing wine throughout Spain since the late 1800s. Blend of 60% Arinto and 40% Loureiro sustainably farmed vines planted in 1992. On the nose, lime zest, green apple, wet stone, and white pepper notes. Palate is clean and concentrated with dry citrus and unripe pear followed by flavors of tarragon, slate and white pepper.Paper Mache Grenache South Australia, 2023 The diversity, excitement and playfulness of the Australian wine landscape have, in some way, taken a back seat to the seriousness of wine… some could say this new window is only just now being discovered! Climate-adaptive grape varieties, naturally made wines, quintessential Aussies, and the movement away from the traditional mindsets of following forefathers’ farming techniques is our country’s future.Tablas Creek Vineyard Cotes De Tablas Paso, 2023 This Paso Rhône pioneer shows its superpowers most prominently through blends, such as this mix of 66% Grenache, 18% Syrah, 8% Counoise and 8% Mourvèdre. Black plum, lavender potpourri and pepper dust aromas show on the nose, while the extremely balanced palate pairs those similar elements into a cohesive and elegant expression. 94 pts Matt Kettmann, Wine EnthusiastTerre dei Buth Frizzante Special Cuvee Bianco You are going to want to stock up! From Veneto, Italy, this Frizzante Bianco is obtained from Glera – the grape of Prosecco – and Chardonnay. Made in a lighter sparkling style with 60 days secondary ferment. Lavish with white flowers, grass, and green apples. “Delicate foam and minute perlage, with a fresh and aromatic taste. An easy-drinking wine.” Paolo Marion, WinemakerDomaine de la Patience Chardonnay, 2024 Certified organic Chardonnay with a tart, fruity nose and dynamic mineral scents. The palate opens with crisp citrus, honey and peach flavors that are boosted by vibrant acidity and racy minerality. Fermented with a mix of indigenous and neutral yeast, vinified in tanks &amp; resting three months in concrete. Light filtration. Fun fact: the name comes from a wild, aromatic herb called “La Patience”, found throughout the vineyards. Costières de Nîmes, FranceWeingut Edgar Brutler Crisana Sefu Red Wine, 2023 (1L) In the Transylvanian village of Beltiug, there was a vineyard with no one to tend it and no one to make the grapes into wine. Edgar Brutler and his family were the only winemakers available, and they arranged to create a new wine label to save these old vines, a broad selection of native Romanian white vines and two red transplants, Pinot Noir and Syrah. They practice organic farming and natural winemaking. In this rugged, rainy landscape in Romania’s northern corner the degree of difficulty is pretty high for what they’re doing, but they’ve pulled it off with aplomb in this fresh, liter-sized bottle of bright red fruity wine. The nose offers cranberry, tangerine, wet clay and lemon pepper. The palate breezy, juicy, and easy to drink with crunchy raspberries and cranberries and just a touch of pepper on the finish.Masseria Cuturi 1881 Puglia Negroamaro Zacinto, 2024 100% Negroamaro, certified organic. Deep ruby red with violet hues. The nose is aromatic and fruity, with hints of wild cherry and sweet spices. The palate is velvety and rounded. Notes of anise, violets and wild flowers harmoniously blend with the mineral and marine flavors of this terroir. On the finish, the wine is delicate and persistent. Puglia, ItalyDomaine J. Laurens Cremant de Limoux La Rosé No.7 Domaine J.Laurens has been HVE3 certified since 2021. It applies the principles of sustainable agriculture across its holdings. Don't let the baby pink color fool you, this is an cremant – blend of 60% Chardonnay, 25% Chenin Blanc and 15% Pinot Noir. This pretty yet very proper pink fizz has lovely wild strawberry fruit on the nose, a fine, satisfying creamy palate with an appealing fresh and biscuity finish. Limoux, FranceLuigi Baudana Langhe Dragon Bianco, 2024 This lovely white Piedmontese field blend is made with the rare but high quality local grape Nascetta, along with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and a little Riesling which are for the most planted together and then all vinified together. In the glass it has aromas of citrus, hawthorn, blossom and a stony minerality and the palate is dry and very fresh with a great balance between a steely minerality, savoriness and a fleshy creaminess.Ami Ami Vin Blanc, (1.5L) Sourced from the high-altitude vineyards of Limoux AOP, in the foothills of the Pyrenees near the Spanish border. A vibrant blend of 50% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Chardonnay, and 10% Mauzac, this wine is both crisp and complex. Sauvignon Blanc, aged on fine lees, brings citrus and freshness. Chardonnay, aged in a mix of new and neutral oak, adds texture and depth. Mauzac, a local varietal reminiscent of Viognier and Chenin Blanc, lends floral and orchard fruit notes. The result? A lively white with lemon zest, white peach, and honeysuckle, finishing with a touch of minerality.Pullus Podravje Pinot Noir, 2024 A delicious Pinot Noir with a ruby color and it delights with a pronounced fruity/earthy bouquet which reminds of strawberry marmalade and dried cranberry, complemented with a lovely velvety medium finish and enhanced by the sophisticated aromas of dark chocolate. North-east Slovenia has the IDEAL climate for Pinot Noir, so for Pinot Noir lovers this is a must! Štajerska, Slovenia
