2018 Julien Schaal Altenberg de Bergheim Grand Cru Gewurztraminer....$34.99
Peach and honeysuckle are subtle on the nose of this wine, harmonizing with Valencia orange notes. The palate is bright and fresh, boosted by gentle sweetness that counters the richness, concentration and inherent warmth alongside a pleasantly bitter phenolic edge. Full of flavor, this is a masterful display of harmony. Drink 2023–2035.
Rated 93/100 The Wine Enthusiast
2019 Chateau Coutinel Negrette...$19.99
Immediately floral, this wine has an earthy tinge to its red fruit, as if mycelia fruited strawberries instead of mushrooms. Leave it in the fridge overnight to chill it for a hike and a picnic.
Rated 91/100 Wine and Spirits Magazine
2019 Chateau Fontana Bordeaux Rouge...$15.99
This has become one of our best selling Bordeaux!
Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and MerlotFontana’s old-vine Merlot (36 years old!) are thriving where others are struggling and exquisitely expressing their character, blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc flesh out into a champion bottle with violet aromas and a rich palate ripe red and blueberries, spice, and earth. Deep and dark red color. On the nose, the Merlot brings nice small red berry flavors while the Cabernet Sauvignon offers a hint of spice and herbs. Slight toasted notes of the nose are confirmed on the palate with nice rounded tannins. This is a full bodied wine with plenty of freshness and a long finish.
Pair this with any red meat, nice steak wine!
2020 Medimer Viognier...$13.99
2020 Medimer Syrah...$13.99
Big rich syrah value! Crimson color with very distinguishable purple hues. Aromas of violet then small black fruit, cocoa and spices. Fills the mouth wiht fine and silky tannins, volume and roundness in the mouth. Pleasant length and persistence
Soil: The Mediterranean waterfront is principally composed of two types of sediments: tertiary (sand, clay) and quaternary (gravel). Climate: Mediterranean, along with special humidity and freshness from the Étang de Thau, guaranteeing the perfect balance of required acid alcohol for red wines.
2020 Comte de Langeron Coteaux Bourguignons Blanc...$25.99
Great white Burgundy at a great price!
This appellation, Coteaux Bourguignons, was created in 2011 covers red, white, and rosé wines, grown over four départements. The Coteaux Bourguignons appellation covers wines that can be blended or come from a single varietal, and which can use some more old-fashioned varietals. Production of white is very small from this area and most of them do not leave France.
A blend of Chardonnay and Aligoté of which most is matured in stainless steel. It has a great Burgundy nose with a touch of minerality that comes from the Aligote. Great flavors of tart apples and a steely acidity finishes off this great wine. Highly recommended and very limited production
