Domaine Du Mont Epin Macon Peronne 2018

Origin: France
Retail: $21.95 | Sale: $19.75

Richard and Stephanie Martin, owners of St. Veran’s renowned Croix Sennaillet estate, purchased the historic Mont Epin domaine in 2015. Situated in the commune of Clesse in the Maconnais region of southern Burgundy, Domaine du Mont-Epin specializes in chardonnay, the grape of Macon. This vintage is a fresh and open wine, crisp with apple fruits. It is lightly textured but its main thrust is all about fruit, with a lifted aftertaste, underlying richness, and a distinct thread of minerality.

Charles Bove Sparkling Rose NV

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

The Charles Bove company was founded in the 19th century in Montrichard, in the Loire Valley. This cuvée is made according to the Méthode Traditionnelle process. The bubbles are very fine, abundant and long-lasting in the flute. Its bouquet is very fruity with scents of cherries, fresh-baked bread, chalky soil tones, dried rose petals, and a touch of spice. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied, focused, and shows fine mid-palate depth. It has bracing acids of youth, frothy mousse and very good length, with grip on the complex finish.

Russian River Vineyards Stony Point Pinot Noir 2016

Origin: California
Retail: $36.95 | Sale: $33.25

This is only the second vintage of this Pinot, but this wine has already created quite the following with its charming personality! The vineyard is located in a particularly cool region, less than 20 miles from the coast. This cool climate, combined with the sun exposure provided by a Southern-facing hillside vineyard, makes for a low-yielding, slow ripening environment which is perfect for Pinot Noir. The balance of fruit and minerality shows beautifully in this easy-drinking crowd pleaser!

Hendry Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Origin: California
Retail: $69.95 | Sale: $62.95

George Hendry and his family have grown grapes on the same family farm in Napa Valley since 1939. Dark fruit aromas are well-integrated with a hint of smoky oak on the nose. The wine is no-holds-barred, with a ripe and robust texture and palate-coating tannins, making it an excellent pairing with rich, braised dishes and grilled meats.
