*Siegel 2023 Viognier Gran Reserva, Valle del Colchagua, Chile - “The 2023 Viognier Gran Reserva is sourced from Colchagua Valley. Aged in oak barrels, this yellow wine with a golden sheen unfolds aromas of peach and vanilla. Dry, rich and velvety, the savory and tart palate lingers on the oak notes.” (Vinous 7/24)

*Chateau Canteloup 2020 Rouge, Bordeaux, France – (85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot) The nose is marked with ripe black and red fruit and intriguing citron and lemon peel elements. Savory, with hints of vanilla on the palate finishing with silky, well integrated tannins. (WOOD CASE!)
*Romain Duvernay 2022 Lirac Rouge, Rhone Valley, France – (75% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre.)  Licorice and dark spices, lavender and herbal underbrush mesh with dusty, berried fruit impressions.  Excellent Rhone Red finishing with balanced, refined tannins.
Domaine d’Eole 2005 “Cuvee Tradition” Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence Red, France – FROM THE CELLAR! (80% Grenache, 15% Syrah, and 5% Mourvedre) Notes of black olive tapenade, garrigue, fennel and other savory herbs. This medium bodied wine with refined tannins has the red wine acidity of a younger vintage. Pair with chicken cacciatore or charred meats.
Garciarevalo 2023 Verdejo “Casamaro,” Rueda, Spain- (85% Verdejo, 15% Viura) - Certified organic, thicker skinned Verdejo from older bush vines raised in stainless steel yields a rich and complex wine with aromas of peach, pear, lemon tart and a touch of mint. Balanced and smooth on the palate with some tropical fruit notes; it finishes fresh with gentle acidity.
Cava Planas Albareda N/V Brut Nature, Catalonia, Spain - Elegant with a fine mousse and aromas of citrus, pit fruit & nuances of toasted bread. The finish is fresh with a rich aftertaste. A delicious, organic Cava.
Grifalco 2021 Aglianico del Vulture “Gricos,” Basilicata, Italy – “The 2021 Gricos is stunning, bursting with violet, lavender, blackberry and stone notes. Supremely silky yet deep, this blends ripe black fruits with tantalizing acidity and a zesty citrus core. Impressively low and lightly structured, the 2021 is beautiful today yet also fit for the cellar. It’s incredible that Grifalco can pack this much character while maintaining perfect balance into such an affordable bottle.” (Vinous 5/23)
