2016 Gérard Bertrand Grand Terroir les Aspres: Another winner from our favorite Languedoc producer, this blend is made up mostly of syrah and grenache. Extremely well done (93 points from Wines & Spirits magazine), it’s full of dark fruits and licorice with a lush texture.
Trail Traveler Sauvignon Blanc: We sure are glad we stumbled across this trail. This sauvignon blanc boasts classic flavors of lemon citrus and quince with a creamy finish. Luckily, you don’t have to travel far to find this sensational sip!
Fantinel Ribolla Gialla Brut: The wine and the grape it’s made from hail from the northeast corner of Italy. It’s a sparkling delight to savor and a great alternative to Champagne at a fraction of the cost.
Thorn-Clarke Shotfire Shiraz: Dark and inky purple in color, this delicious wine is filled with ripe fruit notes, cola and vanilla, all framed nicely with just the right amount of tannins to offset the jamminess and bring structure and harmony.
