- Villa Jolanda Prosecco 200ml Individual Bottle Product #23927 (In Stock)
-
-
Villa Jolanda Prosecco is made from 100% Prosecco grapes grown in the hills north of Treviso. Grapes are hand-harvested, chilled in the vineyard, and given a low-temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruit. The wine features lovely aromas of white flowers, orchard fruits, and a touch of mineral. Lightly sparkling with very pretty, small, bubbles, the wine is full of flavor - peach, ripe apple, lemon zest, and a nice mineral streak. Fruity and crisp, the wine finishes with a touch of mineral and yellow apple. A fantastic wine to keep on hand for everyday celebrations or to stock up on for Holiday parties. Delicious!
- Mars And Venus Chardonnay 2011 Product #26449 (In Stock)

A very nice value Chardonnay that comfortably over-delivers vs. its modest price tag. No oak here, just bushels of clean, crisp, Chardonnay apple and stone fruit with a hint of caramelized pineapple. Juicy and clean, this is a mid-weight white that's just perfect for parties or weeknight sipping.
- Riebeek Cellars Rose 2012 Product #27010 (In Stock)

While red versions of Pinotage – South Africa’s distinctive crossing of Pinot Noir and Cinsault – are a bit funky and, for most, an acquired taste, you won’t have to work very hard to fall in love with this dry Pink version. Riebeek has been growing grapes and making wine in South Africa’s Swartland region since 1941, making them an old-timer in a region that’s exploded with wineries in recent years. The weather and soils in this part of the Western Cape are Mediteranian, very similar to Provence and Bandol in France. Not surprisingly, olives thrive here along, of course, with wine grapes.
The 2012 Cape Pinotage Rosé is picked right at the beginning of harvest to preserve freshness and acidity. After crushing and a short maceration to extract a pale, shimmering, pink color, the wine is fermented dry in stainless steel and bottled and shipped young for immediate enjoyment. If you don’t see the bottle, you’d swear this was from the hills overlooking St. Tropez and the Mediteranian Sea. The aromas are redolent of fresh strawberry and tangy cherry fruit accented by a dash of crushed Provencal herb. Nice body here (despite the 13% alcohol), the berry/cherry fruit and herb get lifted by a note of orange peel freshness. Long and mouthwatering on the back with just the right amount of chalky mineral and zingy acid. A fine, versatile, delicious dry rosé to enjoy by yourself or – at this price – to share with a crowd! - Finca Del Castillo Tempranillo La Mancha 2011 Product #27038 (In Stock)

We have no idea how such a delicious wine made from 30 year-old, dry farmed, Tempranillo vines in La Manacha could be quite this inexpensive…but we’re glad it is! This is real, honest, “vinous” wine, packed with cranberry and black cherry fruit, accents of licorice root and cracked pepper, and long, smooth and refreshing on the finish. A perfect wine for big celebratory parties, weddings, back yard cookouts, or just sipping all on its own.
“Bright ruby. Fresh raspberry and cherry aromas are complicated by black pepper and candied rose. Tightly focused red berry flavors are underscored by smoky mineral and floral qualities. Emphatically fruity and silky in texture, with a smooth, gently sweet finish.”International Wine Cellar 88 points
- Alcesti Rosso l'Isola dei Profumi 2011 Product #27227 (In Stock)
-
-
When you think of Sicily, the black fruited, roasted, flavors of gutsy Nero d'Avola come to mind. But here, classic Nero gets a boost from Perricone, a Sangiovese descendent that offers brighter cherry fruit and plenty of spice. Put them together, and you've got a great warm-weather sipper and companion to spicy foods! Ripe, fresh, black raspberry and cherry fruit aromas and flavors get lifted by blood orange acidity and a warmed by a dash of spice. A licorice root note comes up on the juicy finish where blood orange and berry flavors linger nicely.
- El Cortijillo Blanco Verdejo 2012 Product #27229 (In Stock)
-
-
Here's a screaming value white wine from the Spanish land of La Mancha. It's 100% Verdejo - a grape that, at it's best, is kind of a cross between Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio. Bright, fresh, aromas of ripe peach, fresh grass, and mineral notes lead to a juicy mouthful of fresh apricot, peach, and citrus fruit with a touch of fruit blossom and mint for complexity. Round and zesty in the middle and clean and bright on the finish where the apricot and papaya flavors linger nicely. A mouthwatering, refreshing, white to drink on any warm day and a great match for summer salads and grilled white meats or fish.
- Dom De Eguren Protocolo Tinto 2011 Product #27141 (In Stock)
-
-
Here's the kind of value that made Spain famous in the international wine world, but that seems to have vanished in recent years. And, the 2011 is even tastier than the very fine 2010! This is 100% Tempranillo, aged 3 years in American Oak, and it delivers loads of honest, unconfected, aromas and flavors with a juicy, zingy, finish. A fine party or backyard cookout red at a very compelling price.
- Chabert Chardonnay Vin De Pays D'oc 2011 Product #25874 (In Stock)
-
-
Another fine vintage – that makes 3 out of 3! – for our best-selling Chardonnay ever! As in the past, this all stainless steel (no oak!) beauty comes from a pretty vineyard deep in the South of France. And, as in the past, you’ll find plenty of yellow apple and peach pit fruit flavors and aromas with accents of lemon zest, pear skin, and just a touch of chalky mineral. The wine is just a touch richer and rounder this year than last, with a note of candied pear in the middle and pretty peach blossom and golden apple on the soft, easy, finish. A wine sure to appeal to both "Old World" and "New World" palates, and a fantastic value.
- Ch Puy Servain Bergerac Rose 2012 Product #27062 (In Stock)
-
-
You'll find fine rosé in virtually every corner of France, including Bordeaux - after all, what else would the Bordalais want to drink after a hot day working in the vines? This beauty from the satellite appellation of Bergerac is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon bled off the vats used for red wine. Very fresh and winey on the nose with definite aromas of tobacco leaf, fresh herb, and tangy cherry. In the mouth the herb comes up strong and clear over the cherry and watermelon fruit and a bright beam of acidity cuts under the rich texture. Finishes spicy and mouthwatering with fine length and freshness.
- Mapreco Vinho Verde 2012 Product #27192 (In Stock)
-
-
Nothing says "Spring" (or Summer!) like the new crop of Portugal's famous "green wine", Vinho Verde. Bottled from tank without racking, the 2012 Mapreco has the classic spritz of tingling bubbles you'd expect with plenty of apricot and tangy orange/tangerine fruit. There's a brothy, seltzer-like, hint of the sea here, too, with a bright and citrusy finish. Light (just 10% alcohol) and very fun.
- Borsao Monte Oton Garnacha 2012 Product #27206 (In Stock)
-
-
Another great vintage for this perennial "best value" Garnacha from Campo de Borgia. Powerful, deep aromas of black raspberry and cherry with accents of minerals and fresh cut flowers. Juicy and fresh in the mouth but with plenty of dark berry and cherry fruit and hints of lavender and liquorice. Long and clean on the spicy finish over oodles of ripe fruit. Easy to drink, but worth attending to.
- Petite Roucas Sauvignon Blanc 2011 Product #27241 (In Stock)
-
-
Not exactly what you'd expect from the South of France, this is pure, refreshing, Sauvignon deliciousness. Mellow aromas of fresh cut citrus and green melon with just a hint of grass. Then big and fruity flavors of melon, apple and lime course across your palate with bright acids and juicy freshness. Round and easy in the middle for effortless sipping but then clean and zippy at the end. Yummy.
- Gatao Vinho Verde NV Product #17328 (In Stock)

The Gatão is one of the most emblematic wines of the Vinhos Verdes Region. Young and fruity. Smooth, delicate, and fresh; a fun medium-dry wine meant to be enjoyed on the in the dog days of summer.
- Bricco Dei Tati Cortese Piemonte 2011 Product #26560 (In Stock)
-
-
Cortese is best known as the grape of Gavi, but it's grown seldom as interesting as this! This wine is surprisingly complex on the nose, although we struggled to put it to words. Think of smelling an herbal infusion with lemon, honey, and lavender on a sunny day. (Fanciful, but it's the best I could do!) In the mouth the wine is clean and crisp with notes of lemon, bees wax, and fresh herbs complicated by something hard to describe but vaguely grapefruity. finishes clean and fresh with just a hint of green apple. this is going to be our "go to" for picnics, cold seafood salads, and simple chicken dishes. A whole lotta wine for the money.
- Ch Le Prieure St-laurent Bordeaux 375ml 2011 Product #26689 (In Stock)
-
-
No big name winemaker or famous vineyards here. Instead, just a tasty, juicy, mouthful of Bordeaux currant fruit with a whiff of fresh herb. Savory and satisfying and built to enjoy now on its own or with roasts or stews. Nice value.
- Zaleo Tempranillo Seleccion Ribera Del Guadiana 2010 Product #26799 (In Stock)
-
-
This 100% Tempranillo from Spain’s heartland could become your new "go to" burger, pizza, or just sipping on its own red! Made all in tank - no oak - it's loaded with black plum, cherry, and natural spice aromas and flavors. Bitter chocolate and black licorice notes emerge in the middle and carry on through a fun and tasty mouthwatering finish. No harm in chilling this a bit, either!
- Recanati Chardonnay Galilee 2011 Product #27004 (In Stock)
-
-
Proof that "Kosher" and "Delicious" aren't contradictions at all! This is a classic Chardonnay that straddles New World and Old World styles with a creamy texture, ripe orchard fruit and pineapple, and just the right touch of spicy oak and fresh butter on the end. From a prime vineyard in northern Galilee, it's Kosher for Passover, but more than delicious enough to enjoy all year long.
- Villa Dria Gascogne Blanc Colombard Sauvignon 2012 Product #27154 (In Stock)
-
-
The motto here is “Gascony seen by a feminine point of view.” Other than the fact that the estate is led by women, I’m not sure what that really means, but this is a heck of a delicious white for summer sipping. The blend is 80% Colombard – the main white grape in Gascony – for bright acidity and round texture and 20% Sauvignon Blanc for a big burst of fruit and touch of fresh hay. The fruit flavors coat your palate with ripe green melon, golden apple, and orange/tangerine flavors set off by lemony acids, a dash of minerality, and a whiff of fresh cut grass. A great summer sipper that delivers Sauvignon Blanc-like flavors that have been softened and tamed by the Colombard. Yummy.
- De Angelis Falerio Doc Bianco 2012 Product #27161 (In Stock)
-
-
The Falerio DOC sits at the southern end of Marche, on Italy's Adriatic coast just East of Umbria. The relatively new DOC was created in 1975 to promote the region's two best white wine grapes-Passerina and Pecorino-while continuing to allow use of the ubiquitous Trebbiano.
This 2012 Falerio is a fresh, young, wine with all of the refreshing, spritzy qualities of the 2011, but with an extra notch of richness. The aromas are like sniffing limes and peaches at the beach-plenty of green and orchard fruit aromas with a saline note of the sea in the background. On the palate, there's loads of ripe, creamy peach and nectarine fruit with a spritz of key lime juice and seltzer followed by a chalky, salty, mineral-driven, finish. There's a lot of creamy richness here that will please fans of unoaked Chardonnays, but the zesty acidity and mineral element make this super fresh and mouthwatering. Brilliant with a garlicky scampi and seafood but pretty darn fun to just drink at a party or with friends over antipasti. Staggering value.
- Parados Malbec Mendoza 2012 Product #27181 (In Stock)
-
-
Most of you already know the Parados label for it's top-value Winemaker's Reserve, a blend of Tempranillo, Sangiovese, and Malbec that pays homage to the three great winemaking traditions of Argentina: Spain, Italy, and France. In the 2012 vintage, it's the straight Malbec that really shines and delivers shocking quality for the money - especially at these prices!
This is 100% Malbec, perfectly ripe at harvest, fermented cool and aged entirely in tank for freshness and fruit. The aromas are classic - dark blackberry and plum fruit, a hint of licorice and a nice dose of pure varietal spice.
Take a sip and you'll find a nice mouthful of zesty black plum, blackberry and black raspberry fruit with more sweet spice and a hint of fresh earth. The fruit powers through to the soft, easygoing, finish where a chocolaty note comes up and lingers nicely. Delicious, and hard to beat value!
