The aroma brings a fragrance of spring flowers, pear and apple, while on the palate, a fine string of bubbles is your first indication of the quality of this Prosecco. The flavor is soft, with a creamy fruitiness that hints of almond. This wine is great as an aperitif or with dry sweets and soft cheeses. Serve well chilled.

Winemaker Notes:
Dry depending on the year, it is a fresh and fruity wine that expresses itself. The combination of its freshness and delicate flavors makes it suitable for serving fish and grilled white meats, shellfish, vegetables and Japanese dishes. Ideal in its youth for the aperitif.

The Sea Sun 2023 Chardonnay, made by the Wagner Family of Caymus fame, brings a golden glow to the glass with its coastal California charm. This dry, medium-bodied white glides across the palate with notes of lemon curd, baked apple, ripe apricot, and a whisper of toasty oak. Its creamy texture is beautifully lifted by bright acidity, making it a polished yet generous pour. Sourced from sun-soaked vineyards hugging the Pacific, its a wine that speaks of sea breezes and warm evenings.

Ciro Picariello has quickly become one of the star producers of Fiano di Avellino, and many people consider him to be the reference point producer of Fiano in Italy. Ciro and his wife started their winery back in 1997, but their first vintage under their own label was not until 2004. Picariello's Fiano Irpinia is a declassified version of Fiano di Avellino from estate-bottled fruit, made from younger vines in Summonte and Montefredane. Even though it's from Ciro's younger vines, it easily competes with many of the top Fianos on the market. Lively, minerally and bracing, with aromas and flavors of citrus and herbs. Very long on the palate with bright, green-apple acidity, great complexity, and a strong flinty, smokey character imparted by Ciro's rich volcanic soils. An amazing example of Fiano that delivers so much character and complexity at this price point! Distributor Notes

The terrible floods of the Maule River in 2023 hit Gonzales Bastias hard. ??Their vineyards were flooded, although luckily, without damage to the plants, since their advanced age withstand such ocasional disasters. ??But their cellar and winery were wrecked. ??As a result they felt "headless", and that feeling lends its name to the new wine they made following the tragedy. Descabezado was made in their new winery, built above the hill where the old one stood, and it is one hundred percent Pais from their incredible 200 year old plus vines. It fermented from native yeasts, and macerated three days on the skin before a slower, extended three month fermentation. ??Unfined and unfiltered, it shows the loveliest side of Pais, soft on the palate with plenty of berry fruit. ??An easy drinking wine showing the versatility of the grape and the high standards of the wines coming from Chile these days..

The Eguren family of Teso la Monja are one of D.O. Toro's most important pioneers, having cofounded Bodega Numanthia-Termes with Jorge Ordóñez in 1997. Numanthia was the first exhaustive fine wine project to resuscitate Toro since before phylloxera. Toro is one of Spain's most historic winemaking regions. Tempranillo originated in the Duero Valley, and many ampelographers believe that it originated in Toro, where it is known as Tinta de Toro. These ancient clones of Tempranillo were responsible for Toro being celebrated as Spain's finest winemaking region during the Middle Ages. Toro was also Spain's only region to completely resist phylloxera due to its sandy soils. Teso la Monja is the Eguren family's new interpretation of Toro after Numanthia, where they sought to produce a more refined and restrained expression of Toro by focusing on northern facing vineyard sites planted on clay soils covered in canto rodado.

In 2015, chateau owner Bertrand Gourdou was searching through an old desk when he came across a label that his grandfather had made in the early 1970?????s; that wine was called ?????Le pot-de-vin????? which, in French, translates to ?????the bribe?????, which for that era was an audacious play on words for a wine label! This label inspired Bertrand to make a simple, natural wine: biodynamically grown fruit, fermented with native yeast and with a negligible dose of SO2, made in concrete tanks built by his grandfather. The word "pot" also references the old-style bottle shape.

The rouge is 100% Merlot from the IGP Pays d?????Oc, made with no oak in a light-to-medium-bodied style with gloriously fruit, freshness and length. It is, simply put, the quintessential French bistro red.

La Comarcal is a small project by two good friends who just happen to be two of eastern Spain?????s most talented viticultors: Javi Revert and Victor Marqu??s. Located in the mountainous village of Venta del Moro in the Valencia D.O., La Comarcal ("The District") is a young winery founded in 2017 with the inspiration of making delicious, youthful wines?????new expressions based on the old mountain vineyards of native Valencian grape varieties they farm with certified organic viticulture and native yeasts, utilizing only a judicious amount of sulfur. They focus on regenerative agriculture in every aspect of their work. From researching the best locations to replant native varieties to replace the once-dominant international varieties to working with traditional mixed-agriculture farming and planting trees, Javi and Victor are lifelong students of their natural environment with the winemaking experience to make a significant impact in their region. It shows in the energy and transparency of the project, as this winemaking duo is among the most exciting teams to watch in Spain.

La Comarcal was built on the friendship formed by Javi and Victor while working together at the influential Valencian winery Celler del Roure for over ten years.

A blend of 50% Chenin Blanc, 25% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay, this Champagne-method sparkler is a stellar value for the money!
