Whether for a party, a quiet night in, or an intimate dinner party, these four bottles of wine will make great additions to your wine collection!

Included:

• La Antigua Clásico Reserva 2011: Some of the oldest garnacha vines of Rioja are grown here, and used for this dark red garnacha-tempranillo blend that delivered nice aromas of blackberries, cherries, floral notes on the nose and more berries and spices in the mouth, with an appealing hint of licorice in the long finish.


• Barahonda barrica 2000: A big, thick, juicy, dense purple-colored effort, it reveals lots of blackberry and cassis fruit intermixed with hints of camphor, licorice and spicy oak. This medium to full-bodied, luscious, fruity, crowd-pleaser should keep for 3-4 years.


• Vizcarra Senda del oro 2014: The most inexpensive wine made by this first-class bodega in the Ribera del Duero DO is a great value. With black fruit, mineral and violet characters, it shows solid and consistent quality every year. Vizcarra Senda del Oro has the complexity of a serious wine for a very reasonable price!


• Pierre Sparr Alsace One 2015: Soft, light yellow hue in the glass. On the nose, Alsace One is fresh and minerally, with light, fruity notes of lychee, hints of firestone and grass, paired with exotic aromas of pineapple and papaya. The palate follows with fresh fruit flavors; a dynamic acidity plays around the tongue, balanced with plenty of extract and a pleasantly light, racy body. The long spicy finish has a fancy touch of acidity.
