White Wine

Abad Dom Bueno Godello 2022, Bierzo D.O., Spain: Abad Dom Bueno 2022 Godello, crafted from Bierzo-sourced grapes, is a dry, medium-bodied white with depth and elegance. Its ripe orchard and tropical fruit tones mingle with delicate spice and a whisper of wet-stone minerality, creating a silky yet vibrant palate. Stainless steel fermentation preserves its freshness, making it a fantastic companion to seared scallops, herbed couscous, or a bright citrus salad. Godello food pairings: ginger chicken, salads, grilled vegetables. Drink: 2025 - 2026 154302 13% XD 750 mL $17.95 Score: 89/100. June 2025. Best Value White Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart

Red Wine

Cune Reserva 2019, Rioja Alta, Rioja D.O.C.A., Spain: Cune’s 2019 Reserva, a vegan Rioja Alta blend dominated by Tempranillo, radiates graceful poise from the first swirl. Black cherry, mulberry, and a trace of toasted cocoa mingle with potpourri and clove, nuances shaped by 18 months in French and American oak. The mid-weight palate flows seamlessly, framed by supple, melt-in tannins and a lively acidic snap. Pair its harmony with smoked meats or gourmet burgers and enjoy now through 2027. Food pairings: smoked meats, burgers, ribs. Drink: 2025 - 2027 417659 13.5% XD 750 mL $26.95 Score: 93/100. June 2025. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
