Red Wine

Elderton Shiraz 2022, Barossa, South Australia, Australia: Elderton Barossa Shiraz is an easy wine to love. Ripe-red-berry and eucalyptus-leaf scents open the glass, while a firm acid seam and fine tannins cradle layers of redcurrant and blackberry to a tight, structured close. Ideal alongside pepper-crusted steak or roasted eggplant. Shiraz food pairings: BBQ meats, hearty meat meals, aged cheddar, grilled lamb. Drink: 2025 - 2039 713024 14.5% XD 750 mL $27.95 Score: 92/100. October 2025. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart

White Wine

Quinta da Raza Alvarinho 2023, Vinho Verde D.O.C., Portugal: This lovely Alvarinho shows honeysuckle perfume, pear-nectar and apricot flesh on a lime-tinged palate, while vibrant acidity sparkles through to a refreshing finish. Excellent with ceviche or steamed mussels. Alvarinho food pairings: grilled chicken, grilled shrimp, ceviche. Drink: 2025 - 2025 31789 13% XD 750 mL $19.95 Score: 94/100. October 2025. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
