Red Wine

Peter Lehmann The Barossan Shiraz 2022, Barossa, South Australia, Australia: Peter Lehmann The Barossan Shiraz 2022 delivers bold character without bruising your wallet—rich and juicy for just $21.95. This Barossa red brims with ripe black cherries, cassis, and a whisper of smoked herbs, unfolding into notes of clove, mocha, and vanilla from a generous swirl in the glass. It's velvety but not flabby, with a backbone of spice that gives it both power and polish. Pair it with pulled pork tacos, a mushroom ragù over creamy polenta, or aged cheddar for a fireside nibble. Peter Lehmann’s legacy is blended into every drop—he famously stood by Barossa’s growers when no one else would, turning excess grapes into iconic wines that now carry the story of resilience and regional pride. Shiraz food pairings: grilled steak, pan-roasted beef filet and rösti potatoes, cheeseburgers, chicken mole. Drink: 2025 - 2030 522235 14.9% D 750 mL $21.95 Score: 93/100. July 2025. Top Rated Red Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart

White Wine

Donnafugata Anthìlia Bianco 2023, Sicily D.O.C., Italy: Donnafugata Anthìlia Bianco 2023 shimmers in the glass with orchard-blossom perfume and sun-ripened stone–fruit notes. Its lean, silky frame carries juicy mango and pineapple flavors on a wave of racy acidity. A subtle vein of wet slate minerality adds a refreshing lift to the clean finish. Perfectly poised for immediate enjoyment. Bianco food pairings: grilled pork tenderloin, roast chicken, green salads topped with mango and mandarin slices. Drink: 2025 - 2026 195115 12.3% XD 750 mL $20.95 Score: 92/100. July 2025. Best Value White Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
