Ceretto Blangé Arneis 2024
Origin: Italy
Retail:$22.95| Sale: $20.66
The Ceretto family are third-generation winemakers and they own over 400 acres of estate vineyards in the famed Langhe and Roero regions of northern Italy. Arneis is a varietal that was originally planted in Piedmont as bird food. With Nebbiolo being the dominant grape that makes Barolo and Barbaresco, Arneis surrounded the blocks of the red grape in hopes that the local birds would eat them instead of the prized Nebbiolo. Whatever Arneis grapes were left was essentially made into a white table wine. Blangè, an effervescent and organic version of the Piedmontese wine, is currently the best selling wine of restaurants in Italy and Arneis is now considered almost as noble as Nebbiolo.
Massican Sauvignon Blanc 2025
Origin: California
Retail: $31.95| Sale:$28.76
Massican is Napa and Sonoma’s only white wine winery. The wines are made from 10 grape varieties planted in 16 vineyards on California’s North Coast. The vineyards are farmed at minimum with sustainable standards and at maximum with certified organic practices. The winemaking is respectful of the vineyards and the grapes, and therefore, there is very little interference during the fermentation process to make these wines. Inspired by the Sauvignon wines of northern Italy, this Sauvignon Blanc pays homage to the tart, delicious, everyday-drinking wines of the Friuli region. The grapes for this wine are farmed at distinct vineyards in Napa, Sonoma, and Clarksburg, where temperatures are warmest during the day and coolest at night.
Bravium Pinot Noir 2023
Origin: California
Retail: $34.95| Sale: $31.46
Created by winemaker Derek Rohlffs, Bravium is the culmination of meticulous care in the vineyards and a patient approach in the cellar. Derek takes his cues from tradition. He doesn’t alter what the earth gives him. He’s a classic minimalist. Of Cherokee descent, Derek was gifted the name “Winter Hawk” as a young boy. Intuitively connected to the land—Cherokee means “those who live in the mountains”—Derek has always felt a mysterious pull to nature, even as a child. To hear him tell it, the vineyard is his destiny. From the far reaches of Mendocino County, this wine is prototypical Anderson Valley Pinot Noir, a delicious combination of floral aromas, ripe fruit flavors, and savory elements.
San Polo Rubio Toscana 2023
Origin: Italy
Retail: $22.95| Sale:$20.66
Marilisa Allegrini, the first Italian woman to appear on the cover of Wine Spectator and a Cavaliere del Lavoro Honoree, leads a remarkable enterprise fueled by passion, foresight, and respect for nature. From her family’s estate in Valpolicella, Veneto, she ventured to Tuscany in 2001 to embark on an ambitious journey of diversifying production, alongside her daughters Carlotta and Caterina. San Polo’s vineyards are located at 400-450 meters (1312-1476 feet) above sea level and the soils are quite poor and stony, composed mainly of galestro (schistous clay), and are very suitable for harnessing Sangiovese’s vitality by limiting yield in favour of grape quality.
