Barboursville Vineyards Pinot Grigio, 2016, retail value $17.00

Barboursville, Virginia

Light emerald straw color. Aromas and flavors of green pear, melon, nut brittle, and wheat grass with a silky, crisp, fruity light-to-medium body and a seamless, breezy finish with fine tannins and no oak. A delicious and elegant pinot grigio pleaser. Not Rated

Paradise Springs Melange, 2015, retail value $27.00

Clifton, Virginia

The rich garnet color of this medium bodied red wine blend gives way to aromas of warm vanilla and red fruits. The palate tantalizes with velvety tannins, a light toasty oak component, and red cherry fruit that finishes dry and very smooth. 35% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Petit Verdot, 15% Cabernet Franc. Not Rated.

Paradise Springs Cabernet Sauvignon, 2014, retail value $32.00

Clifton, Virginia

A heavier, and rich Cabernet, with jammy aromas of black fruits and subtle touches of spice. The oak is well balanced with the fruit, and the sweet spices complement the red raspberry and smoky notes. Not Rated.

Vino del Grotto Mango Mamma, retail value $22.00

St. Petersburg, Florida

A fantastic Florida tropical fruit wine. Made from fresh squeezed mangos, it’s a semi-dry to semi-sweet wine with the undeniable taste and bouquet of fresh Florida mangos. Clean and crisp, it’s ideal with any seafood dish. Serve with chunks of mango on a skewer for a terrific presentation to family and friends. Unique and delicious! Concordance Gold, International Competition, Epcot 2004. 

Shadow Springs Cabernet Franc, 2014, retail value $20.00

Yadkin Valley, North Carolina

Cabernet Franc is a great grape on the East Coast.  This is a medium bodied red with strong aromas of cherry and oak.  Lively acidity throughout the fruity finish makes this a perfect match for Italian food.  Not Rated.

South Creek Cabernet Sauvignon, 2011, retail value $25.00

Yadkin Valley, North Carolina

This Cabernet is rich in dark berry fruit flavors on the mid-palate.  It is balanced, rich and velvety.  Not Rated.
