Sparkling Wine

Yannick Prevoteau La Perle Des Treilles Champagne, Champagne A.O.C., France: Toasted-brioche aromatics swirl over quince-and-citrus-blossom ripeness in this refined Champagne, its persistent bead and saline streak driving to a lingering, moreish finish. Elegant and utterly composed. Pair with Oysters Rockefeller and Gruyère gougères. Champagne food pairings: oysters, grilled white fish, pasta with pesto sauce. Drink: 2025 - 2030 45451 12% XD 750 mL $71.90 Score: 95/100. August 2025. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart

Red Wine

Oenops Apla Dry Red Blend 2022, Drama P.G.I., Greece: A playful red with wild strawberry and tart raspberry entwined with forest-floor hints of fresh mushroom and lemon leaf. Medium-bodied and lively, its zesty acidity keeps the berry fruit bouncing, while subtle grainy tannins add just enough grip. Charming and effortless—ideal for an al fresco midweek pour. A great dinnercompanion to grilled game meats or steak. Food pairings: roasted game meats, grilled steak, grilled pork or game sausage. Drink: 2025 - 2027 27480 13% XD 750 mL $19.95 Score: 90/100. August 2025. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
