Serve this with miso glazed salmon, or bacon wrapped figs. Was $19.99, Now $12.99

Greetings Merlot 2016 - Staff Comments: A new wine to Argonaut that is drinking quite nicely! Bing cherries and a subtle lavender nose.

Greetings Pinot Noir 2017 - 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.

Aimery Cremant de Limoux Rose – Staff Comments: A gorgeous French sparkling rose; 65% Chardonnay, 25% Chenin, and 10% Pinot Noir. Our favorite of the night! Dry and festive, with notes of pomegranates, cassis, vanilla bean, and delicious apples. Loved this! Perfect for a shrimp cocktail, bacon wrapped figs or your next party. *An Argonaut Select Product. $12.99

2016 Charles Sparr Gewürztraminer - Staff Comments: Golden straw in color. Intensely fragrant with aromas of lychee, ruby red grapefruit, passion fruit, rose petals and a hint of spice. Lots of fruit upfront with tropical notes, lychee, pineapple, peach, with a floral and slightly smokey mid palate. Medium body with mild acidity, off- dry sweetness will make this wine perfect for pairing with Indian or middle eastern cuisine. Something with a little spice to it! The finish is long and leaves touches of fruit, flowers, honey and smoke. *An Argonaut Select Product, $16.99

2015 Wakefield Jaraman Cabernet Sauvignon – Rated 94 Points James Halliday - Good hue; a medium-bodied wine that meets all reasonable expectations. The cassis, black olive and bay leaf aromas and flavors are clear and uncluttered, but do not deny the oak and tannins their place at the table. I have every confidence the wine will richly repay five to 10+ years in the cellar, $14.99

2017 El Circo Garnacha – Staff Comments: Bright ruby red. Displays spicy and fruity aromas like strawberries and white pepper. On the palate it is tasty with lots of fruit and good balance. It is a pleasant wine for cheese platters, pastas and pizzas. *An Argonaut Select Product, $7.99

2017 Second Growth Rose - Staff Comments: A beautiful Pinot Noir Rose for the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Honeysuckle and ripened raspberries on the nose. Dry, crisp, and very elegant!
