White Wine

Dr. Loosen Blue Slate Kabinett Riesling 2023, Mosel Prädikatswein, Germany: Apricot and white-peach aromas glide over a plush, off-dry palate lifted by racy acidity and flinty minerality. Clean and balanced, with a refreshing finish. Try it with Korean BBQ ribs or mild coconut curry for a fabulous match. Riesling food pairings: sushi with extra wasabi, roast chicken, spicy pasta dishes, baby greens salad, feta cheese. Drink: 2025 - 2026 160846 7.5% MS 750 mL $24.95 Score: 91/100. September 2025. Top Rated White Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart

Red Wine

Castello di Gabbiano Bellezza Gran Selezione Chianti Classico 2018, Tuscany D.O.C.G., Italy: Deep cherry-skin and crushed-oregano aromas lead into a core of sarsaparilla spice and forest-floor earth. Chalky-fine tannins frame each layer of plum reduction, finishing on a graphite-kissed finale. A coffee-rubbed brisket with sage-butter gnocchi or lamb-meatball tagine work very well as a pairing. Chianti Classico food pairings: bucatini with sausage, roast beef, cheesy pizza, stuffed roasted turkey. Drink: 2025 - 2028 652438 13.5% XD 750 mL $59.95 Score: 90/100. September 2025. Top Rated Red Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
