Pale golden straw color. Fruity aromas of lemon rind, summer peach, fresh orange, and garden grass with a supple, crisp, dry-yet-fruity light body and a smooth, interesting, medium-length tart lemon sorbet and star fruit, white peach puree, shortbread, and chalk finish with silky, fruit tannins and no oak. A lovely Pinot Grigio with zippy acidity.

Tapaculo Merlot

This Merlot is a brilliant showcase of its estate background. To us, one of Merlot’s finest qualities is that it makes a truly versatile and excellent food wine. It can pair with a lot of food, from the leftover pizza you have from last night or a delicious filet mignon off the grill. Merlot can do it all. This one is a great example, with a medium body, round fruit flavors and silky tannins

Magnifico Cuvee Bianco

Sometimes, a name really does say it all. The wines of Magnifico are nothing short of magnificent. They span Italy, from Tuscany, to Sicily and beyond. These beautiful wines showcase the best the country has to offer, which, by the way, is quite a bit, when it comes to wine. This blend is classically Italian, with crisp and refreshing notes. With some subtle and well-balanced tropical fruit flavors, this wine showcases quite a bit. With a refreshing finish of minerality, this is a great pair for fresh salads or seafood

Georges Duboeuf - Beaujolais Nouveau 2017

The arrival of Beaujolais Nouveau from Georges Duboeuf is an annual celebration. A bright and brambly version, with light tannins and a subtle, minerally underpinning to the flavors of black raspberry, mandarin orange peel and fig.  Here's my take on this new Holiday drink.

Free run Paperbark Chardonnay

From a fifth-generation winemaking family in southern Australia’s historic Barossa Valley region, Paperbark wines are as loveable as their namesake, an Australian tree with peeling bark and fluffy white flowers. 2016 Paperbark Chardonnay is a pale yellow in the glass, sharing aromas of ripe peach with notes of tart citrus. This barrel-matured wine’s palate is medium bodied, with notes of nougat and spice from wild fermentation, and a hint of vanilla from oak aging
