2020 Sonoma Cut Pinot Noir: Staff Comments: Yummy and from Sonoma! A wine with a medium body and a red hue. Wild blueberries, tart cherries, and golden raspberries with toasted almond undertones. So velvety and rich. Drink this once a week! Pairs well with spicy pepperjack cheese, jambalaya, and pork cutlets with a peppercorn sauce. Was $34.99, now $17.99.

2019 Long Path Chardonnay: Staff Comments – We had goosebumps! Secretly made in Napa Valley and stunning! A bowl of citrus fruits on the nose; Guava, Mangoes, papayas, and nectarines. However, the body was creamy and lush; butter crèmes, vanilla spice, lemon curd with a nice, toasty-smoky almond finish. The best vintage yet! Serve this with grilled shrimp or scallops, avocado toast with red onions, or a Belgium chocolate soufflé. Was $18.99, now $8.99.

Wolfberger Cremant d’Alsace: Staff Comments: This is 90% Pinot Blanc and 10% Pinot Auxerrois. Tiny bubbles with crisp acidity and lots of minerality. Slate, lime zest, with hints of stone fruit make this an easy drinking sparker. Serve this with a rock shrimp cocktail, oysters mignonette, or turn it into mimosas! Rated 94 points Beverage Testing Institute. Was $23.99, now $16.99.

 

2018 Egret Cabernet Sauvignon: Staff Comments: An intoxicating bouquet of dark plums and caramel, with a touch of wild geraniums. This is from Sonoma and is a medium-bodied Cab. Bing cherries, black walnuts, lavender, and Vietnamese cinnamon. Many layers of ripened goodness! Pair this with grilled flank steak salad, spicy shrimp tacos or pepper jack cheese. Was $39.99, now $17.99.

2016 Ronan by Clinet Bordeaux: Rated 91 points Jeb Dunnuck - The Merlot-dominated 2016 By Clinet (there's 5% Cabernet Franc) is a charming, already delicious effort that gives up elegant notes of chocolate-laced plums and dark fruits, notes of leafy herbs and truffle, medium to full body, and a layered, charming mouthfeel. It's a terrific Bordeaux to drink over the coming 7-8 years or so. Pair it with beef stew or roasted root vegetables. Was $18.99, now $11.99.

2018 Terres de Galet Chateauneuf du Pape: Staff Comments: This wine is to die for! A beautiful French blend of Grenache, Syrah, and cinsault. Black raspberries and French lavender on the nose. Let this breathe for 30 minutes, then it turns to velvet! Medium bodied and lush; boysenberries, white pepper, all spice, licorice with a subtle smoky finish. This wine over delivers for the price and honestly, you can pair this with everything from burgers to Beef Bourguignon. Our new Favorite! Was $39.99, now $29.99.

2021 Fox Hunt Shiraz: This Shiraz has a deep purple color with aromas of blackberry, plum, and a hint of black pepper. On the palate, it is full-bodied with bold flavors and a long finish. Pair it with grilled ribs or spicy sausage. Was $9.99, now $6.66.

Fog Mountain Brut - On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing with lively acidity and flavors of citrus and green fruits. The finish is dry and clean, leaving a pleasant and long-lasting impression.
