Sauvignon Blanc |
Classic Sauvignon Blanc aromatics of green citrus, tart grapefruit, and sappy herb nuances all emerge from the 2025 Vin De France Sauvignon Blanc, a tank-raised 100% varietal white from Limoux. It's medium-bodied, clean, and balanced on the palate, with nicely integrated acidity. Drink this satisfying, classic effort over the coming 2-3 years. |

Cotes Catalanes Rose |
An ultra-classic dry rose, the 2025 Cotes Catalanes Rose is based on 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah and reveals dried orange peel, salty minerality, and white flower nuances on the nose. It's clean and balanced on the palate, with crisp acidity and a great finish. It's another impeccably made rose from this cooperative that's well worth seeking out. |

Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley |
The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa 1847 is another terrific wine in this lineup from Michael Pozzan Winery. Racy and exuberant, the 2023 offers up copious dark fruit, pomegranate, mocha, incense and licorice. The upfront, juicy style offers tons of immediacy. |

Cabernet Sauvignon El Dorado |
Densely packed dark-fruited aromas of blackcurrants, licorice, blood plums, cedar and spices. The palate is full-bodied with firmly framed tannins, bright acidity and a long, well-balanced finish. Drink or hold. |

Rose 'Vielles Vignes' |
A crisp, beautifully balanced 100% Cinsault rose from the Herault, the 2025 Vin De France Cinsault Rose has a light salmon hue and a nose of dried citrus, dried herbs, and salty minerality. It's medium-bodied on the palate, with clean acidity and a great finish. I think it's clearly outstanding and is perfect for summertime drinking. |

Sancerre |
A quintessential Sancerre and a rockingly good example of the variety, the 2025 Sancerre Blanc reveals vibrant green citrus, grassy herbs, and obvious minerality on the nose. It's medium-bodied, round, and supple on the palate, with bright, juicy acidity, terrific balance, and a great finish. It has so much to love. |

Alfredo Bertolani |
Lambrusco Reggiano Rose Dry 'Delicato E Fresco' |
Dark, rich, and earthy aromas of forest floor and savory spices greet the nose. As the wine opens up, roasted black plums and cherries emerge, accompanied by an abundance of violet notes. This Lambrusco boasts a well defined structure with fine but persistent tannins that lead to a plump dollop of juicy fruit on the finish. Best Buy. |

Chardonnay Paso Robles |
Impressive for its focus, with fresh Cosmic Crisp apple, lemon blossom, orange curd and Himalayan salt flavors, plus touches of lemon verbena and shiso leaf. Gains momentum on the finish as the acidity grows in power. Drink now. 800 cases made. |
