Red Wine

Terranea Roc Des Dentelles 2023, Gigondas, Rhône A.O.P., France: A great pairing for charcuterie boards or truffle mac and cheese — ripe blackberry and crushed-strawberry scents weave with clove, white-pepper bite and a whisper of truffle earthiness. Food pairings: grilled bavette steak, veal stuffed Porcini mushrooms, pork tenderloin. Drink: 2025 - 2027 43812 15% XD 750 mL $29.95 Score: 92/100. October 2025. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart

White Wine

La Playa Reserva Chardonnay 2023, Limari Valley, Chile: This Chardonnay reveals chalky-stone and pie-crust aromas under citrus-blossom lift and eggshell nuance, then sails across a medium-bodied palate of crisp apple and savory-saline depth. Try it alongside oysters on the half shell or goat-cheese tart. Chardonnay food pairings: summer salads, grilled whitefish, grilled shrimp. Drink: 2025 - 2027 41906 14% XD 750 mL $19.95 Score: 91/100. October 2025. Best Value White Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
