Tetramythos Sideritis Nature Organic
$40.99
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.
Massolino Moscato D`Asti Docg
$36.99
Appearance: bright straw yellow, with fine and persistent perlage; it maintains limited pressure, as recommended by the tradition of this wine.
Bouquet: tempting, immensely fresh and intense, it reveals decisive fruit notes, with a clear predominance of sage.
Flavour: expansive and enveloping, but not too sweet; the typical aroma of Moscato grapes is naturally prevalent and it has a very long and delicious finish.
It is best to serve it at temperatures between 9-10°C.
Superb with desserts, such as the classic Langhe hazelnut cake or apple and pine nut cake, lemon cake, fruit puffs and traditional Christmas panettone. It is also extremely particular and seductive when served with mature, slightly spicy cheeses.
To fully appreciate the fragrance of this wine, we recommend uncorking just before pouring.
"The Massolino family has been making Barolo from the iron-rich soils of Serralunga for over a century. This is an example of what you can expect when Moscato is given the Rolls Royce treatment. Drawn from just 1.5-hectares of hand-harvested grapes, in Moscato terms the production here is tiny, and what's more the vines are rooted in the prime calcareous soils of Serralunga d'Alba. The result is something altogether more savoury and complex and yet every bit as delicious as the more typical examples."
Nino Franco Rustico Prosecco
$37.99
Throughout the history of Nino Franco, the vineyards were the ones to make the difference, starting with Grave di Stecca, one of the rarest and perhaps the only example of a clos in the area, cultivated as a single vineyard since 1991. An “iconic vineyard”, a symbol of the cultural revolution that allowed Primo Franco to completely bind Prosecco to its territory of origin, plot by plot. Today, Nino Franco directly cultivates three plots in the municipality of Valdobbiadene, stretching for about 4 hectares. An area that resulted from relentless mass selection, the vineyards are vinified separately and cultivated according to specific protocols. The result is a range of «grand cru» Prosecco wines: labels that, season after season, embody the intimate bond of a wine to its chosen terroir. These wines are always a contender for the best Prosecco in the Veneto.

A great cab at a great price from a terrific producer. This red offers intense ruby color with blackcurrant, chocolate and cigar box aromas. Look for balanced with well-integrated oak.

A superb wine ready to drink now, it can also cellar for a few years for future enjoyment. But why wait! Fire up the BBQ.

Kay Brothers HIllside Shiraz
$59.99
"Dark chocolate, mulberries and savory spice all come together on the nose of the 2015 Hillside Shiraz. It's a dense, concentrated wine, richly structured and tannic but not unapproachable with a rare hunk of beef or lamb. The Kay Brothers wines make no concessions to modernity, sticking to the tried and true methods of crafting traditional, cellar-worthy Shiraz." Wine Advocate
