Embruix
By Vall Llach
2017
Priorat
91 Wine Spectator
As good a Priorat that you will ever find for under $25! Off the Charts delicious!
From Wine Spectator: This red is dense yet plush, with blackberry and espresso flavors, accented by licorice, wild herb and mineral notes. Well-integrated tannins and balsamic acidity keep this focused. Harmonious, in a savory style. Garnacha, Merlot, Cariñena, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon.

La Quercia
2018
Montepulciano D'Abruzzo
This Montepulciano is a great example of what happens when you match low-yield winemaking expertise with a prolific growing zone, and constantly cut, cut, cut back the vines. The result is one of the best quality, most expressive and balanced Montepulcianos around.
Full-bodied, smooth, and packed with notes of blackberry, wild cherry, chocolate and spice. This is a flavourful versatile wine that will pair with anything you put on the table.
Superb Value!

La Fortezza
2015
DEL TABURNO
Aglianico
Ruby red color with wild berries, mineral notes and well-integrated tannins. In his painstaking book “Native Wine Grapes of Italy,” Ian d’Agata wrote of aglianico: “Along with Nebbiolo and Sangiovese, Aglianico is generally believed to be one of Italy’s three best wine grapes, but in my opinion, it is far more: At the very least, it’s one of the world’s dozen or so best wine grapes.” |

Field Recordings
2018 Paso Robles
PETS
Petite Sirah
Field Recordings is winemaker Andrew Jones’ personal catalog of the people and places he values most. Spending his days as a vine nursery fieldman planning and planting vineyards for farmers all over California, Andrew is sometimes offered small lots of their best fruit on the side. Having stood in just about every vineyard on the Central Coast, he has a keen eye for diamonds in the rough: sites that are unknown or underappreciated but hold enormous untapped potential.
This is some darn good Petite Sirah he sourced from Paso Robles!
Big flavors of blueberry with notes of cocoa and black pepper.

Firestone
2017 Paso Robles
Cabernet Sauvignon
Firestone is located in a unique cusp region. They have a “Goldilocks” climate that is neither too hot nor too cold. Their moderate temperatures and extremely long growing season enable them to successfully grow a staggering range of grape varieties.This Cabernet is overflowing with flavors of blackberry, dark cherry, saddle leather and hints of Madagascar vanilla then finishing bold.

Fog Theory
2016 Monterey/Santa Barbara County
Pinot Noir
The name Fog Theory is based on the important fog that rolls in from the Pacific Ocean through and east-west mountain range corridor, an unusual break in California’s north-south running coastal range. It is the cool air the fog produces that provides the perfect climate for Pinot Noir. Notes of strawberry, cherry pie and tea leaf on the smooth, medium-bodied finish. |

Faiso
2018 Portugal
Vinho Verde
You will not find a more refreshing wine than this for bang for the buck enjoyment! This is off the charts happiness in a glass. Has a light spritz as most Vinho Verdes do and under 11% alcohol makes this so gulpable!
Crisp and lively with pear, apple and highlighted with fresh herbal notes on the clean finish. Serve well-chilled. A ridiculous value white wine from Portugal that is so incredibly thirst-quenching! |

Domaine Vincent Careme
2016
Vouvray
91 Wine Spectator
Regardless of style, Vouvray is loved for its delicate floral aromas and boisterous taste that will pucker your lips and make you immediately wish for another sip.
This particular style Chenin Blanc is on
the dry side.
Refreshing white peach, lychee and notes of honeydew melon on the mineral-driven finish.

Secateurs
By AA Badenhorst
2016 Western Cape
Red Blend
89 Wine Spectator
A terrific red blend from South Africa.
Lively and well-balanced, this is a true crowd-pleaser but also shows some complexity. A blend of Syrah, Cinsault and Grenache.

Margaux de Brane
2016 Margaux
Bordeaux
From the legendary 2nd growth Chateau Brane Cantenac. It comes from the younger vines on the estate, but the same exact care and attention is applied. A perfumy black tea note weaves around here, while the core of gently mulled cherry and red currant fruit unwinds slowly, letting additional alder and warm stone accents emerge. Lots of complexity going on for under $30!
