Villa Fiore Pinot Grigio
Villa Fiore is made in the Friuli Grave D.O.C. in Northern Italy by a small, family-run estate who also makes our popular Villa Marchesi Pinot Noir. They have been growing grapes for generations, have always practiced organic farming (which they just call farming) and have been making wine since 1960. The wine is surprisingly complex with distinctive aromas that range from herbaceous and minerally to floral and fruity. Flavors are characterized by ripe apricot, peach, melon and a bit of mineral. Winemaking Details: Stainless Steel Tank Fermentation
Pic Poul
If you drive from up the coast from Barcelona to France, maybe stopping for lunch at El Bulli, Just before the port city of Sete, the vines to your left and right are those of Pic Poul de Pinet, its a grape and an AOC name, facing the med, hot during the day, cool at night. This is the sort of wine you don't have to think about, you just drink it and take pure pleasure in the experience. Crisp, dry, clean hints of lemon zest and sea shells, it's like the Muscadet of the South.
Echeverria Sauvignon Blanc
Little touch of the grassy notes from a typical Sauv Blanc but leaning more to lemon and lime fruit on the palate makes this a very refreshing wine.
Los Nevados Chardonnay
This great new value comes from the high zone of Mendoza in the Val de Uco. The vineyards of Los Nevados are planted at almost four thousand feet thus benefiting from the cooler climate and a longer growing season. This is a rich, full-bodied Chardonnay without the oak, making it refreshing and a bit too easy to drink!
Aresti Equilibrio Sauvignon Blanc
In 1951, the Aresti family began to cultivate vineyards in the cooler Andes influenced eastern part of the Curico Valley, in such prestigious areas as Curico, Molina and Rio Claro. Leaning more towards a citrus style sauv blanc, this is a super dope pairing with fish dishes.
Palazzone Orvieto
Palazzone cultivates the indigenous grape varieties allowed in the Orvieto D.O.C., namely Procanico, Verdello, Grechetto, Drupeggio and Malvasia Toscana. They do not use insecticides or fungicides in their vineyards and are judicial in the amount of sulfur added to their wines. Word has it on the rough tough streets of Brooklyn that a good Orvieto has hints of almonds on the nose and a palate of white summer flowers. This is it...word.
Domaine Medeville Bordeaux Blanc
A really nice white Bordeaux, this has mostly Sauvignon Blanc notes on the nose with cut grass and lime. The Rousanne adds a nice textural element. If you are a fan of Sauvignon Blanc, this will be a delightful change of pace.
Ermita San Felices Rioja Blanco
Medium bodied white wine made by this family bodega. The wines are made with carefully selected grapes from their vineyards located in Rioja Alta. Bright aromas of citrus, pear and quince are mirrored on the palate followed by crisp refreshing acidity.
Haut Lavigne Cotes du Duras Sauv Semillon
Nadia Lusseau is the young winemaker who founded this domaine in 2002. Located 10 kilometers from Duras and 25 kilometers from Bergerac—minutes away from the city of Bordeaux. Nadia takes a smart and traditional approach to winemaking and she's been farming organically since ’05. We love this wine for its honest simplicity. A little touch of grapefruit on the nose leads to a round Semillon mouth feel with balanced acidity. Winemaking Details: Unfined, Unfiltered, Vegan, Wild Yeast Fermentation, Low SO2 Added
Fuso Verdicchio
This is a mighty friendly wine. A zippy, green apple, tangerine, lime and mineral glass of happiness. The vines are grown on an ancient raised sea bed of clay, iron and mineral salts, and you can taste a hint of the sea on the finish. Winemaking Details: Aged in Tank
