Founded in Tortona, in the Province of Alessandria, Cantine Volpi is a multi-generational Italian winery that believes in using a form of clean agriculture, without pesticides and chemical additives.

Wine Art Idisma Drios Assyrtiko 2019
Origin: Greece
Retail: $19.95 | Sale: $17.95
The "Wine Art" Estate is owned by two engineers, Giannis Papadopoulos and Giannis Kalaitzidis. In 1993, Giannis Papadopoulos, out of personal interest and care, undertook to revive an old family vineyard in Mikrochori, Drama. Aged for five months in French oak, this is not your typical Assyrtiko. White and golden orchard fruits with hints of mint and seashell welcome you into the glass. The palate is fresh and savory with butterscotch and hazelnut flavors lingering nicely on the long, creamy, finish. This is a Greek wine for lovers of fine white Burgundy and of great values.

Origin: France
Retail: $16.95 | Sale: $15.25
Figuière is located in La Londe-les-Maures between Marseille and Nice with vineyards that lie just a few hundred meters from the Mediterranean Sea. Méditerranée Rosé is intended to be light, invigorating and easy-to-enjoy.

Mont Gravet Vielles Vignes Carignan 2020
Origin: France
Retail: $10.95 | Sale: $9.85
Hailing from the inland hills of the Herault region of the Languedoc above the Mediterranean Sea, this is a winner for supple fruit, balanced acidity and a bright finish. The fruit is pure, the tannins soft, and takes a chill nicely. It's the perfect summer red that can handle a wide range of foods at table and such a great value.
Carignan
Château Bourdieu Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux2019
Origin: France
Retail: $16.95 | Sale: $15.25
Grown on 25-year-old wines in the gravelly loam of Chateau Bourdieu’s stunning estate, the 2019 consists of 87% Merlot, rounded out with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. It was aged in stainless steel and racked and manipulated minimally, all with the goal of preserving the fruit, which shines through beautifully from the opening aromas to the very last sip. The palate is broad but firm, and loaded with chewy black fruit character that melds seamlessly into lingering spice box and fresh herbal hints. Great value Bordeuax for early drinking.
