White Wine

Tokara Collection Reserve Collection Sauvignon Blanc 2023, Elgin W.O., South Africa: From South Africa's Elgin W.O., Tokara Reserve Collection 2023 Sauvignon Blanc was aged on its lees in stainless-steel tank for five months. Look for green pea, fine herb, grassy and citrusy flavours mouth-wateringly long on the palate with a flinty mineral finish. So fresh and so good, chill and enjoy it now through 2026. Sauvignon Blanc food pairings: veal chops, goat cheese and herbed quiche, grilled chicken breasts. Drink: 2025 - 2026 41858 13.5% XD 750 mL $24.95 Score: 92/100. August 2025. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart

Red Wine

Hither & Yon Grenache Mataro 2023, Mclaren Vale, South Australia, Australia: Hither & Yon 2023 is a dry, medium-plus-bodied Grenache and Mataro red wine blend from the McLaren Vale in South Aus. Very expressive with its rich strawberry compote, crushed raspberry, blackberry and herbal flavours on the palate with bright acidity for food and a lengthy finish. Good now, best from 2026 through 2031. Grenache Mataro food pairings: grilled chicken breasts, pepper steak, veal cutlets. Drink: 2026 - 2031 42067 14.5% XD 750 mL $24.95 Score: 92/100. August 2025. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
