Rosés

Gérard Bertrand Perles de Grenache Grenache 2024, Pays D 'Oc, Languedoc I.G.P., France: Gérard Bertrand, hailed as the King of Languedoc for his deep understanding of its diverse terroirs, presents his 2024 Perles Grenache rosé. This elegant, dry rosé—crafted entirely from Grenache—offers a fragrant bouquet of fresh strawberry, watermelon, rose petal, and delicate white florals. On the palate, vibrant red berry, citrus zest, and a touch of dried wild herbs come together over a silky, medium-bodied frame. An excellent value, it's best served chilled—perfect with a salade niçoise or any light summer fare. Grenache food pairings: grilled chicken salads, seafood appetizers, seared tuna.

Sparkling Wine

Krone Borealis Vintage Cap Classique 2022, Tulbagh W.O., South Africa: Using only the finest Pinot and Chardonnay, this sparkling wine is produced by a time-honored Champagne process at the centuries-old Twee Jonge Gezellen estate in Tulbagh—where Krone’s expertise shines. Its aroma unfolds with lively citrus peel, gentle elderflower, and a touch of spicy ginger, while the palate is graced by nuanced hints of light roasting and a whisper of salted caramel. A superb partner for bold dishes like smoked salmon and tuna or sashimi, this wine lives up to its artisanal pedigree. Cap Classique food pairings: smoked salmon and tuna, sushi, sashimi, roast chicken. Drink: 2025 - 2025 556654 11.5% D 750 mL $21.95 Score: 91/100. June 2025. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
