Bright & Bubbly (WHITE SPARKLING):

Domaine Delmas - Blanquette de Limoux "Cuvée Tradition" 'NV (Limoux, FRA)
Pale & crystalline with delicate bubbles, this traditional blanquette sets a tone of freshness and finesse. Ripe apple, mirabelle plum and white flowers, with a silky palette. ABV 12.5%
$20.69 - 750ml | ($22.99 Regular Price)

Dry, Fruity, Creamy (WHITE):

Domaine de la Bergerie - Anjou Blanc "Sous la Tonnelle" '2020 (Loire Valley, FRA)
Fresh, elegant nose, with aromas of white flowers and tropical fruits. Generous, with anjou pear and hay, and a core of minerality for backbone. Supple, lively finish. 80% Chenin Blanc, 20% Chardonnay. ABV 13.5%
$17.99 - 750ml | ($19.99 Regular Price)

Fruity, Light & Cheerful (RED):

Birichino - Carignan Montague Vineyard "Car Car Glou Glou Akashita" '2021 (Lodi, CA)
We'll take our lead from the monster on the label and glug-glug this old vine Carignan, fermented carbonically, thus maintaining an incredible freshness, with ripe boysenberry and tons of sass. Dare you not to finish the whole bottle! ABV 13%
$23.39 - 750ml | ($25.99 - 750ml Regular Price)

Rich & Deep (RED):

40/40 - Malbec '2019 (Mendoza, ARG)
This is not your mom's overripe cloying Malbec: we've been longtime fans of the work of Italian winemaker Lucas Pfister, who set his sights on new challenges and brings a freshness and natural winemaking to the heart of Mendoza. Inky and deep, with dark plum and blackberry followed by a little warming spice. ABV 14%
$17.99 - 750ml | ($19.99 Regular Price)
