Chateau de Beaucastel
$86.69
Always highly anticipated and highly rated, and 93 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate for the 2013 vintage: "The 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape is a beauty and has a rare level of concentration and depth in the vintage. Blueberry, crushed flowers, pepper, and violet aromas and flavors flow nicely to a medium to full-bodied, structured and tannic Beaucastel that has impressive purity and plenty of length. It’s not massive, but still needs 4-5 years of cellaring and will keep for a decade after that."

Baronia Sangria
$16.99
The Spanish figured out a thing or two about wine a long long time ago. From Valencia near the central Mediterranean coast, you can taste a tradition as old as the hills. Sangria. Serve it by the jug. That's what they do in Spain. It's red wine with oranges and lemon macerated together to create a very refreshing fruity Spanish wine punch. Just add ice and a few slices of lemon. It's great as is the price! A Spanish favourite!
