Chateau Ducasse Bordeaux Blanc $14.99
A blend of Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle from limestone vineyards in Bordeaux. This wine is aged in stainless steel for 6 months to preserve its fresh citrus flavors. A beautiful wine for drinking by itself or to have with a salad or shellfish.
Z Alexander Brown Cabernet Sauvignon $14.99
This Cab displays notes of black cherry and mocha. The wine is supple, bold, and rich. The grapes are sourced from the North Coast AVA, which allows this wine to be an amazing value. Did I mention this wine was made by Zac Brown of the Zac Brown Band? Try this bold red with burgers or grilled meats.
Cline Viognier $11.99
Aromas of honeyed peaches and fruit salad spill from the glass. This wine is golden yellow in color and has medium body. The taste is of peaches, citrus, and stone fruit. Smooth finish with just a touch of acidity. A great porch- sipping wine, but will also go with grilled fish or lobster.
Argiolas Perdera $14.99
This wine comes from Sardinia and the little-known Monica grape. This grape is grown widely on the island and makes a wine of superb drinkability and fruit- forward nature. Perdera means "place of many stones" and is the name of the vineyard. This wine works great with seared tuna or salmon.
Rioja Bordon Rioja Crianza $13.99
A Bordeaux family and a Spanish family came together to make these wines. Rioja is one of the best places on the planet to grow Tempranillo. The wine spends 12 months in American oak barrels, and this gives it some classic coconut notes. It also has notes of red fruit and displays elegant tannins. Great with grilled foods, pasta, or fried foods.
True Myth Chardonnay $13.99
These grapes hail from Edna Valley in California. This cool climate allows the Chardonnay grapes to fully ripen. This wine has aromas of pear, white peach, and wet stone. Great mouthfeel and a minerally finish. Great wine with white fish or roast chicken.
