Skouras, Peloponnesian White
Food & Wine magazine named it one of the “10 Best Wines Under $10”! Bright, vibrant aromas of tangerine, almonds and minerals on the nose, along with crisp citrus, melon & pear flavors. Excellent with grilled seafood! $9.95
Il Nuraghe ‘Le Giare’ Vermentino di Sardegna
This amazing white is such a perfect match with seafood: it comes from the sun-drenched island of Sardinia. Ripe and full-bodied, too delicious to miss! $9.95
Hecht & Bannier, Syrah Rosé
Smooth & silky in the mouth, this well-balanced and finely structured rosé has plenty of ripe fruit flavors, nicely matured and polished. Neither red nor white, yet the best of both! $9.95
Domaine Monte de Luz, Tannat
The perfect everyday red wine for your summer grilling... Deep, dark garnet-red, with concentrated aromas of cherry, plums, cedar and figs. A touch juicy, yet well balanced, not heavy or dense. It’s selling for $8.99 in Manhattan! $9.95
Dampt, ‘Chevalier d’Eon’, Tonnerre, Bourgogne
A terrific wine, and an amazing story! Tonnerre sits alongside it’s more famous neighbor in Burgundy, Chablis. Same grapes, too: all Chardonnay. This wine from a lesser known town tastes like a $25 Chablis! About Chevalier d’Eon: a nobleman, a soldier, a courtier, an ambassador, a spy... who lived half of his life as a man, and half as a woman! (Check Wikipedia for bio!) Wine from his, or her, vineyard was once drunk in the greatest noble houses of Europe, and now it can be enjoyed in yours! $16.95
Domaine Saint-Antonin, ‘Les Jardins’ Faugeres
I sell so many Languedoc wines like this, due to the price. Smooth, rich, filled with flavors of ripe black and red berries with a bit of the ‘garrigues’, the wild herbs and field grasses of the mountains in the south of France. Going to grill this weekend? This is your wine! A red this good from other, more ‘snooty’ parts of France would easily sell for $20! See what all that sunshine does! $12.95
