Love Noir Sultry Rose, 2015, retail value $12.50

California

This is a luxurious, fruit-forward take on Rosé. Some of California's finest grapes deliver a wine with bright aromatics of citrus and red raspberries. It delivers rich, deep flavors with a luxurious, silky texture. A pleasant everyday rosé. Not Rated.

Cecilia Beretta Prosecco Conegliano Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG Brut, retail value $10.00

Conegliano Valdobbiadene, Italy

This Bubbly is softer and more rounded than many Prosecco in the price range which can have a sharp edge from the acidity. It tastes of a stew of ripe apple, apricot, orange, and lemon. The mid-palate brings grapefruit, lime, a hint of minerality, and orange blossom honey.  Nice! Not Rated.

Velvet Moon Cabernet Sauvignon, 2016, retail value $6.00

California

This is a medium-bodied Cab, fruit-forward, but with a solid amount of structure not always found in inexpensive Red wine. It starts with sour cherry, chocolate powder, pepper spice, and blackberry. The mid-palate adds strawberry, a touch of green bell pepper, and blueberry. The finish is full and long. Not Rated.

Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio, 2016, retail value $22.00

Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy

This dry white wine has a straw yellow color. Its clean, intense aroma and bone-dry taste (with an appealing flavor of Golden Delicious apples) make this a wine of great personality and versatility. Ideal with seafood salads or pasta and rice dishes based on fish and shellfish. Not Rated.

Monterustico Langhe Bianco, 2016, retail value $15.00

Langhe, Italy

This is a rare white blend from Italy. A clear lemon yellow coloured dry white wine with aromas of citrus and minerals. The taste is soft with low acidity. It pairs well with cold seafood and cucumbers. Not Rated.

Gabbiano Chianti, 2016, retail value $10.00

Chianti, Italy

Clear, bright and ruby-red in color. The bouquet is reminiscent of ripe plums spiced with pepper and wood. The first sip reveals flavors of sour cherry, blackberry, and spice followed by a dry vivid finish. It’s bold enough to complement rich and spicy pasta dishes, and is also perfect with tangy chicken or gourmet pizza.  Not Rated.
