Umani Ronchi Terre di Chieti Vellodoro Pecorino 2018
Origin: Italy
Retail: $19.95 | Sale: $17.65
Umani Ronchi began a project working with the pecorino grape that was almost extinct in 2005, releasing their first vintage in 2007. The pecorino grape is only a small percentage, about 5 acres, of Umani Ronchi’s total production. Beautiful floral and citrus notes welcome you into the glass. The palate shows a good amount of structure and a pleasant freshness, with ripe fruit, and clear minerality.

Located in Posavje, Slovenia, the vineyards of Kobal are spread out over some of the finest winegrowing sites on the hills and slopes of the Bizeljsko-Sremic wine region. Kobal wines are produced from local grape varietals which are farmed in an environmentally-friendly manner. Aromas of citrus zest, white flowers and fresh apricot jump from the glass. The palate features an electric acidity and saline mineral profile highlighted by stone fruit, nuts and herbs. Enjoy with Locke cured meats or pork.

Glen Manor Vineyards Morales Rosé 2019
Origin: Virginia
Retail: $19.95 | Sale: $17.95
Named for José Morales and his family, who alongside the White family have worked at Glen Manor's vineyard since its establishment. This rosé is made by blending grapes grown specifically for it, along with juice bled off from the reds during the beginning of the maceration period. While skin contact time and varietal blend change from year to year, it is always a blend of the red grapes grown on the estate. The result is a light, dry rosé ideal for charcuterie and summer meals and is intended to be enjoyed with the freshness of warm seasons.
G.D. Vajra "Claré JC" Langhe Nebbiolo 2018
Origin: Italy
Retail: $23.95 | Sale: $21.55
This is technically billed as a Langhe Nebbiolo but is actually a historic experiment to recreate the style of wine written about by Thomas Jefferson: fairly light, silky and sweet like Madeira, tannic like Bordeaux, and slightly effervescent. This wine shows the most beautiful ruby color when poured in the glass. Slightly off-dry with vibrant minerality, the palate is fresh and lively with a slight hint of tannins from the Nebbiolo grape. Enjoy this red slightly chilled.
