This wine is trying to outdo its neighbors in Provence; albeit at a much nicer price. It’s pale pink in color but has gorgeous citrus, melon and papaya fruit that is absolutely intoxicating.

We love wines from the Rhone. They offer such great value for the amount of wine they deliver; almost at any price point. This blend of Carignan, Syrah, Mourvedre and Grenache tastes like a high class Cotes du Rhone. The wine offers a surprisingly ripe, rounded style to go with notes of wild strawberries, jammy black raspberry and peppery herbs. It’s drinking beautifully today, but will reward a bit of cellaring and will drink nicely for the next 5 years. Enjoy it with lamb, beef and game

This Carmenere with 15% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend has an alluring nose of cedar, smoke, mocha/coffee, violets and blueberry.

Spring and summer are the perfect time to be drinking Vinho Verde. It’s light, refreshing and has a bit of a spritz to it. Lime zest, raw almond and fresh citrus notes dance on your palate. It’s so fresh and fun and low in alcohol to boot. A perfect picnic / back porch wine. $12

Ahh Soave. It’s Pinot Grigio’s far more interesting neighbor.

This is the quintessential offering for drinking with shellfish and fresh seafood.

The folks at Bonterra were one of the first to market organically farmed wines nearly 30 years ago. This Pinot Gris is a new addition to the portfolio.

If Josephine is a real person, I’d like to give her a kiss on the cheek. This Pinot Noir is so textbook and way over delivers for its modest price tag.

A delicious, easy-drinking Pinot Noir that really delivers, this Pinot Noir comes mostly from the Central Valley. Steve Schaefer and his family have been farming vineyards there for over 30 years.

This is Syrah and a splash of Viognier co-fermented from a vineyard just outside the northern Rhone Valley. As such, it gets labeled as Vin de France although you’re just a stone’s throw from the famous vineyards of Hermitage. That’s great news for us as it keeps the price down. Currant and blackberry fruit, pepper and juniper spice and ripe tannin makes this deliciously drinkable and an excellent pairing for barbecue & burgers.

This is Syrah with a leather jacket and a story to tell. The 2022 “Old School” from False Bay channels Rhône vibes with a South African twist—think juicy blackberries, cracked pepper, and a smoky campfire swagger. There’s a wild streak of violet and lavender in there, too, just to keep things interesting. On the palate, it’s smooth but not soft—firm structure, lively acidity, and a finish that lingers like a good riff on a blues guitar. No frills, no fuss—just honest, soulful Syrah that knows how to make an entrance. $15

This isn’t just Cabernet—it’s Cabernet that wrestles crocs before breakfast. Straight outta Barossa, it’s bold, broad-shouldered, and not afraid to show it. Loaded with blackcurrant, plum, and a smoky lick of campfire eucalyptus, it’s got backbone for days and a dry, dusty swagger that could charm a snake out of a tree. Hints of tobacco, dark chocolate, and bush spice round it out, while the finish hangs on like a good yarn around the fire. Big, confident, and unmistakably Aussie—this one’s got outback soul and city polish. $12
