Nitida Sauvignon Blanc 2018
Origin: South Africa
Retail: $18.95 | Sale: $17.05
This small Durbanville property houses one of South Africa’s most successful small wine cellar, while also running a flock of 50 sheep, 2 cows and a sheepdog. The grapes were harvested in 25 different pickings over a time span of 6 weeks. This gives them the variety of building blocks to create a complex Sauvignon Blanc that reflects the riper tropical fruit flavors of the 2018 harvest, with green undertones that are traditional from the Durbanville terroir. There is a superb balance of fruit, delicious minerality and perky acidity. Sip your first glass with oysters on the half shell topped with a shallot mignonette -- their brininess is the perfect pair.
100% Sauvignon Blanc

La Jara Frizzante Rosé NV
Origin: Italy
Retail: $12.95 | Sale: $11.65
In 1999, Massimo Marion and his brother Paolo began to work their family land in the Veneto region, using organic farm practices to produce vibrant grapes. Owned by the family since 1891, ‘La Jara’ is the word for gravel in the regional dialect of the Veneto, a reference to the gravelly soils that cover the area. The nose is delicately led by aromas of ripe strawberries and raspberries. The palate is fresh and tart, full of gooseberry and redcurrant notes. Try pairing this wine with risotto or pasta, or simply having it as an aperitif!
