Red Wine

San Marzano Talò Primitivo Di Manduria 2023, Puglia D.O.P., Italy: San Marzano Talò Di Manduria Primitivo's bright raspberry and lemon-zest aromas give way to a structured palate of red-fruit compote and herb-inflected spice; medium-full and poised, with a zesty, uplifting finish. Pair with tomato-olive pasta or grilled lamb skewers. Primitivo Di Manduria food pairings: BBQ ribs, roast leg of lamb, gourmet burgers from the grill.

White Wine

Thelema Sutherland Chardonnay 2021, Elgin W.O., South Africa: Thelema Mountain Vineyards Sutherland Chardonnay sees struck-flint minerality and blossom-fresh apple meld with soft-peach sweetness and cooling cucumber; a creamy sour-cream texture spills onto a bright lime-zest close. Try it alongside pan-seared halibut or mushroom risotto. Chardonnay food pairings: Caesar salad, seafood cold plate, creamy cheeses.
