Paltrinieri “Piria” Lambrusco di Sorbara 2024
Origin: Italy
Retail:$20.95| Sale: $18.86
Paltrinieri is located in the heart of the Sorbara DOC by the historic Cru of Cristo di Sorbara. Since 1998, the estate has been run by the fourth generation Alberto Paltrinieri and his wife, Barbara, though the estate was founded in 1926 by Alberto’s grandfather, Achille. Historically the winery, as was the tradition, produced Lambruschi that were blends of grapes. Since Alberto Paltrinieri took the reins of the estate they began, more and more, to focus on mono-variety wines from the Lambrusco di Sorbara grape which was gaining more and more recognition for its elegance and complexity compared to the many other Lambrusco varieties.
Caraccioli Cellars Chardonnay 2021
Origin: California
Retail: $44.95| Sale:$40.46
In 2006, the Caraccioli family set out to create outstanding grower vintage bubbles, focusing solely on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Teaming up with one of Roerderer Estate’s founding winemakers, Michel Salgues, they practice limited manipulation to allow the wines to speak for the land. The labor-intensive, yet delicate winemaking techniques allow the beauty of the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes to be fully expressed year after year. This label is a collaboration between the Caraccioli family and their neighbors. In recent years they had an opportunity to utilize some of their neighbor’s fruit to produce wines that over deliver. Matching a great appellation like Santa Lucia Highlands with the Caraccioli’s precise cellar techniques results in deliciously expressive wines at a fantastic price.

Mas Doix “Les Crestes” Priorat 2024
Origin: Spain
Retail: $39.95| Sale:$35.96
Mas Doix was created in 1998 by Valenti and Ramon Llagostera. Sheltered by Montsant and Molló, the roots of the estate vineyards delve deep into the ”llicorella” slate that makes the Priorat a unique territory. Being in Poboleda, the cool part of Priorat, the vines benefit from a Mediterranean climate with a great oscillation in daytime and nighttime temperatures. This microclimate favors a slower ripening and a later harvest.
Mas Doix farms strictly organic with biodynamic practices that ensure perfect harmony between the environment, the vineyard and labor.
