Verderubbi Pita Verdejo 2023
$18.74
The Pita family has a long history in Spain's Rueda region, a DO dedicated solely to white wine. The dominant variety in the region is Verdejo, a grape that offers crisp citrusy white wines reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc without the resounding grassiness. It has a generous mouthfeel with notes of tropical fruit, and apples, and is certified organic. It would go well with shellfish and other appetizers.

Tetramythos Sideritis Nature Organic
$32.79
This is a unique, minimal-intervention orange wine from Greece, made from the rare Sideritis grape, known for its distinctive wild herb/floral notes (like mountain tea), citrus, minerality, and slightly tannic, complex profile, reflecting its high-altitude, organic origins with skin contact for a coppery hue and natural fermentation. It's a "natural" wine, meaning minimal intervention, no filtering, and often minimal or no added sulphites, showcasing the grape and terroir.

KWM staff just love this winemaker - and so do many others! Winemaker Silvio Jermann — who has a reputation for making Italy's best white wines, and you'll know why when you try this elegant, unusual white wine, made mostly from Ribolla grapes, with a little Tocai and Riesling.
Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Merlot 2019
$50.99
This Merlot is from Moss Wood's second vineyard called Ribbon Vale. They purchased the vineyard in March 2000. The vineyard was already in production, but it did offer a new challenge for Moss Wood in that they had never worked with Merlot before, and it ended up being quite different from the other grapes they were used to. Since then, they have focused on vineyard management and the way they produce the wine, and it's evolved into something special. We have a few bottles of the 2019 left!
Morette Bardolino Chiaretto Rose
$23.99
The Morette – Valerio Zenato farm is one of the most dynamic areas of production in the Lugana DOC. The soils of this area originated from the retreating Garda glacier and are characterized by compact, chalky and marly clay stratification. A clay soils have high salinity levels due to mineral sediment, as well as benefiting from the mild micro-climate of the lake, which allows for quality wine production. The area is considered a small miracle amongst the “Terroir Viticole”. Light-bright rose in colour with a fragrant, fresh and fruity flavour. Its taste is delicate with lovely fresh strawberry fruit, and endowed with great freshness. Its finishes dry and crisp, in keeping with the classic personality of Bardolino Chiaretto. It's a versatile rosé, from hors-d’oeuvres, first courses, white fine meats and salmon.

$61.59
Based at the Carlton Winemakers Studio in Carlton, Oregon, Ratio Wines is the personal project of winemaker Anthony King. Ratio makes Willamette Valley Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and distinctive Northwest white wines.This wine has a Chablis-like charm and has aged gracefully into a really lovely, elegant white wine. The 2015 Johnson Vineyard Chardonnay comes from the certified-organic Johnson Vineyard in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. Eric Lemelson owns the vineyard, having purchased it from the Johnson family, who famously farm grass seed across the Willamette Valley. I’ve worked with Johnson Vineyard for years and have come to believe in its potential as a great Chardonnay site.
Ridge Petite Sirah Lytton Springs
$63.69
From Ridge:
Lytton Springs, in Sonoma County, became part of the Ridge estate in 1991. A quarter century’s experience with this vineyard had convinced us that it was an exceptional piece of ground. The oldest Petite Sirah vines on our Lytton Estate were planted in 1901 and the youngest in 2008. We made our first wine from the property in 1972. In 2002, we began bottling portions of the Petite Sirah as a separate wine for a limited release, up until then it had always been included in the Lytton Springs Zinfandel. In 2003 we made another limited release and in 2009 our first national release.
From KWM: For many California wine lovers Ridge holds a special place in their hearts and on their palates. They make a wide array of wines from their two wineries, the original Monte Bello winery in Santa Cruz and the Sonoma winery in Healdsburg, and rarely, if ever, miss the mark. Chief winemaker Paul Draper is a legend, and deservedly so.
