Piedmont, Italy Brilliant straw-yellow colour with golden reflections. Slight sparkling, this Moscato d’Asti has an intense aroma of ripe yellow fruit (peaches, apricots, pears), floral notes (rose petals) and refined exotic spices (freshly cut ginger).

Tuscany, Italy Vichingo "skin contact orange wine" comes from the little certified organic estate/winery of Anna Maria Cruciata in Maremma. Hand-harvested, foot-tread, native yeast, on the skins for a week, no sulfites, fining, or filtering. Salty, sagey with quince-like orchard fruit. Vermentino

Burgundy, France Stainless steel fermented, then finished in neutral oak for a few months. Nose of ripe stone fruit, lime zest, crushed chalk and hazelnut and then a moderately rich palate of ripe fruit, lime, chalk and nut. Finishes zesty and fresh with tangy white peach and mint notes lingering nicely. Crisp, clean, and delicious! Chardonnay

Bordeaux, France The crushed-berry, smoke and stone aromas are appealing. Medium to full body, round and chewy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Shows depth and structure. 79% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc

Loire Valley, France Wines under the Mary Taylor label, besides their focus on biodiversity, organic farming practices, and minimal-intervention winemaking, is that their wines don’t see oak, so you get fruit-forward, bright wines that, once decanted, are delicious young. The Anjou Rouge is an excellent example of this with a fruity and floral nose and beautiful dark berry, soil, and tobacco notes. 80% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon

Sonoma County, CA Nose of toasty oak, strawberry jam, mixed berry pie, black tea and baking spice. Layered black and blue fruit on the palate with milk chocolate, cherry, garrigue and textured tannins on the finish. 65% Zinfandel, 26% Petite Sirah, 5% Syrah, 4% Alicante Bouschet
