2018 Greetings Pinot Noir - Staff Comments: This hails from the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Scents of black cherries, cocoa, and licorice hit your nose. Lightly bodied, this is the perfect Pinot Noir for those who don’t want to be weighed down. Such a nice price too! Strawberry preserves, cherry cola, brambles and a touch of birchwood round this out nicely. Have this with chicken salad sandwiches, salsa picante, or loaded bacon and cheddar cheese fries.

2018 Xanthos Cabernet Sauvignon - Staff Comments – Let this breathe for 30 minutes and it just turns to silk! Cinnamon aromas and white pepper flood your senses. This is a Cabernet to reckon with. Bold, lush, unctuous, and pure velvet. Boysenberry pie, smoked hazelnuts, English Toffee, and Dark chocolate covered cherries. Loved this! Pair this with a NY Strip steak with Bleu Cheese, grilled pork medallions, or Morbier cheese.

Covalli Prosecco Rose – Staff Comments: Pretty in Pink and ready to drink. This is a DOC Prosecco Rose, one of the first to hit the U.S. market and Argonaut has it! 90% Glera and 10% Pinot Nero from Italy Dry crisp, and quite refreshing. Notes of pomegranates, crushed strawberries tart cranberries with an apple-pear finish that screams for something spicy! So serve this with crab cakes with a spicy remoulade sauce or pepper jack cheese sandwiches. This fresh and harmonious offering also aligns well with fresh fruit plates, ceviche, and Panettone.
