Lyrarakis Assyrtiko Voila 2017

From a small family winery who discovered the potential of east Crete in the 1970s, this single vineyard Assyritiko will not disappoint. Crisp apple, stone fruits, and hints of ginger welcome you into the glass. The palate provides layers of textures with a rich mouthfeel that is supported by minerality and a natural acidity that leads into a long, fruity, and uplifting finish.

Alain Jaume Tavel Le Crétacé 2016

Origin: France
Retail: $19.95 | Sale: $17.95

This Grenache-dominated beauty offers notes of black cherries, wild strawberries, and hints of minerals. On the palate, it is zingy with great lift, but maintains the elegant style we look for from Tavel. Red currant and cherry flavors cover the palate with hints of aniseed. The perfect level of acidity makes this a great, food-friendly rosé.

Flatridge Ranch is a secluded parcel in the Coastal mountain range, west of the Rockpile AVA. Here the Trione family planted a 10 acre vineyard of unique Zinfandel vines called Saint Peter’s Church.
