Chateau Ducasse Bordeaux Blanc, 2022
This Bordeaux blanc is made from 60% Semillon, 35% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Muscadelle vines planted in complex soils of clay and limestone on fissured rock. The wine is bone dry, even if your first whiff of sunny, slightly tropical fruit leads you to expect otherwise. On the palate, it is luscious and mouth coating with generous passion fruit and lychee, and yet it is racy at the same time constructed along a sturdy spine of chalk and acidity, it bears the classic Sauvignon Blanc notes of lime and grass. Bordeaux

Figuière Signature Magali Rosé, 2023
Figuière is located in La Londe-les-Maures between Marseille and Nice with vineyards that lie just a few hundred meters from the Mediterranean Sea. Blend of Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault and Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of citrus and small red fruits. A nice attack on the palate with a taste of Apricots and especially pink grapefruit from the Provence. This wine is a great aperitif but also pairs with strong spices like Curry.

Planet Oregon Soter Pinot Noir Willamette Valley, 2022

“This is a planet you want to live on. The wine’s rich raspberry-jam and lilac aromas make a perfect foil for a meaty note similar to seared steak. Blueberry and candied-rose-petal flavors are joined by an interesting wood note that may conjure up childhood memories of building toy rafts with popsicle sticks.” 91 points, Michael Alberty, Wine Enthusiast
Sandy Giovese Vino Rosso, 3L Bag-in-Box
Blend of 87% Sangiovese and 13% Trebbiano. Exploding with fresh cut violets and ripe bing cherry, this easy-drinking, low-alcohol, light-bodied red wine offers juicy cherry and pomegranate fruit with aromas of wisteria, finishing with a silken texture and a crisp, clean, fruity finish. Serve chilled. Marche, Italy
Cesar Marquez Perez Bierzo Mencia Parajes, 2020
A regional blend of Mencía and Alicante Bouschet from rising star, César Márquez. There’s a little more ripeness and concentration in the 2020 Parajes, which matured in well-seasoned (at least fourth use) barriques and a 5,000-liter oak foudre. It’s a little rounder and creamier, a more powerful wine (it was bottled 15 days before I tasted it) with a nice Bierzo character. 93 Points, Luis Gutierrez, robertparker.com

Piattelli Grand Reserve Malbec, Cafayate Valley, 2020
From high in the Andes surrounding Salta come Piattelli’s Cafayate wines, grown at over 5,890 feet elevation. The distinctively colorful northwest Argentina mountains, formed by many geological layers, inspired our labels and our regionally distinct approach to winemaking. This wine represents the best of the crops. An intense red color and aromas of black fruits, vanilla and smoke. These aromas are transformed to give the wine great structure and body on the palate. A soft fruit-forward flavor and a strong and balanced finish.

Cassis, blackberry, leather and chaparral combine aromatically with flavors of toasted oak, boysenberry pie and vanilla. Mid-palate weight and complexity while maintaining elegance and texture.
