2019 Bell de Provence Rose - Staff Comments: Stunning from start to finish! From Provence, France it’s a beautiful blend of Cinsault, Syrah, and Grenache. The nose is intoxicating! Ruby red grapefruits and golden raspberries; this is our new favorite rose. Hints of kiwi, watermelon sorbet, dried apricots, and hibiscus. Have this every week! Pair this with a grilled salmon salad, garlic brushed bruschetta, or cheesy crab won tons, on sale $9.99.
2017 Classified Cabernet Sauvignon - Staff Comments: This is a lightly bodied Cabernet from Napa, California. The perfect “introductory” Cabernet to Napa without feeling overwhelmed or lost! Bing cherries and spice on the nose. Layers of white pepper, lingonberry, cinnamon, and cocoa round this out nicely. Pair this with a spicy cucumber and cilantro salsa, an extra sharp Wisconsin cheddar cheese or smoked salmon on toast points! On sale, $15.99.
2017 Gearbox Chardonnay - Staff Comments: This beauty comes from Ukiah, California. It is NOT a butter bomb nor is it terribly oaky. Nicely balanced and refined, more tropical in nature. Kiwi, pineapple, guava, white peaches with a hint of hazelnuts. Dry and refreshing for Indian Summer! Serve this with chicken tetrazzini, a Cobb salad, or poached pears, on sale only $8.99.
2018 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 a spicy Cajun jambalaya, avocado taste with red onions, or a Belgium chocolate soufflé, on sale $8.99.
2019 Georges Duboeuf, Beaujolais-Villages - Rated 91 points James Suckling - A delicious, juicy Beaujolais with sliced dried-strawberry and blackberry character. Hints of walnuts. Medium body. Light, fine tannins and a juicy finish. Drink now, $11.99.
2018 The Show Malbec (Mendoza) – Rated 90 points Wine Enthusiast. Berry aromas are pleasant and ripe, with an herbal note in the backdrop. A fleshy, fruity palate is easy to process, while this Malbec tastes of lightly spiced oak, raspberry, and cassis. A steady finish confirms the wine’s overall quality. Best Buy – only $12.99.
Veuve Olivier Rose Brut Sparkling - Staff Comments: Dry, zesty, and festive! A pale pink rose colored bubbly with notes of hibiscus, watermelon puree, black cherries, and strawberry sorbet. This has a touch of minerality, and a soft cotton candied grape finish. Another perfect sparkler for Sunday brunch or a “Champagne sunset” with orange juice! On sale for $7.99.
2018 Elk Cove Pinot Gris – Rated 91 points Wine Advocate The 2018 Pinot Gris contains small touches of Muscat and Gewürztraminer and is especially expressive this vintage, with inviting scents of Bosc pear, white peach, elderflower, green apple and crushed stone with a baker's yeast hint. It is medium bodied with fresh fruits, a slightly rounded texture and juicy acidity, finishing long and flavorful, only $17.99.
2018 Domaine Les Pins Rochettes Bourgueil Rouge – Rated 91 points Wine Enthusiast. From France - This young, fruity wine comes from vines owned by the Pitault-Landry family. It has an edge of tannins and freshly spicy fruits. Smoky, perfumed and packed with berry flavors, the wine will develop further. Drink from 2022. Suggested price $30 – on sale for only $15.99!
2018 Decoy, Sonoma County (California) Chardonnay Rated 90 points Wine Review online.com - Decoy may be the second label for the more glamorous (and expensive) Duckhorn brand but by every measure it’s a standout on its own. Modestly priced, the 2018 Decoy Chardonnay doesn’t skimp on richness, body or flavor. This vintage exhibit beautiful aromas of baked apple and wood spice, with a note of lemon oil that brightens the finish, only $19.99.
