Canoe Ridge 2022 Expedition Chardonnay, Horse Heaven Hills Washington USA
As legend has it, explorers Lewis and Clark noticed a ridge resembling an overturned canoe on their historic 1805 Columbia River journey. Today, that landmark is known as Canoe Ridge Vineyard, the namesake location of one of Washington State’s most recognized wine producers. This Chardonnay exhibits ripe apple, apricot and honeydew with a zippy acidity. Scents of butterscotch and pineapple mix with flavors of ripe pear and honeydew melon for a rich, elegant texture on the finish.
Kolfok “Intra! The Wild” Rose, Austria
A special method of wine making preserves a gentle and fine tannin structure. Intracellular fermentation, meaning fermentation inside the intact berry, keeps the wine fresh and subtle. It is a blend of Grüner Veltliner and another lesser-known native grape, Welschriesling. After the maceration of 62 days, the berries are pressed and then aged in large Austrian oak barrels (1200lt.). The big difference between skin fermented wines and this method is, that uncrushed intact berries are used – making the tannins much smoother. An additional benefit is that the process is without oxidation, so no sulfur is added. A wild wine, with a gentle heart.
Principe delle Rocce Monteplulciano d’ Abruzzo, Italy
This rich and robust red wine that is sure to elevate any occasion or meal. With its deep ruby red hue, this Montepulciano D’Abruzzo boasts a luscious aroma of ripe dark fruits, such as black cherry and plum, accompanied by hints of spice and earthy undertones. Upon the first sip, the palate is greeted with a velvety texture and a harmonious blend of fruit, tannins, and acidity. The wine offers a delightful taste of blackberry, cherry, and a touch of vanilla, culminating in a smooth and lingering finish. Great on its own or paired with rich, flavorful dishes such as grilled meats, aged cheeses, or hearty pasta dishes.
Joliesse Vineyards Pinot Noir, California USA
Joliesse (Pronounced jo’-lee’-ES’) comes from the French word for grace and loveliness. Dark crimson in the glass, the Joliesse Pinot Noir greets you with notes of red cherry, red plum, and a hint of baking spice on the nose. On the palate, delicate notes of cherry pie, sun-ripened strawberry and a hint of cinnamon linger. Delicate and well-balanced, this Pinot Noir moves gracefully across your palate.
Chateau Grand Meynau Bordeaux, France
A gold medal winner at the Concours des Vins, Chateau Grand Meynau Bordeaux is aged for 24 months in 50% new and 50% seasoned American oak barriques. It is a dark deep ruby red, where intense ripe fruits such as plum, raspberry and black cherry expose a lovely complexity when the hint of creamy spice surfaces. The palate delivers a harmonious mix of berries and gentle tannins. This is a great wine for any roasted or grilled red meat.

Lovely upfront forest fruit aromas, fine soft tannin integrated with black fruit on the palate. Great to share with friends and you can enjoy this red with or without food.
