Red Wine

Abate Brunello Di Montalcino 2021, Tuscany D.O.C.G., Italy: High in Tuscany, old vines give Abate the fruit for this Brunello di Montalcino, fermented with wild yeast and given a long rest in French oak before bottling. Dark plum and black cherry carry real weight, backed by firm, grainy tannin that needs a rich plate to soften. Cocoa and dried herb notes turn up late, along with a savoury, almost meaty edge that's typical of top-tier Sangiovese. It has years ahead of it, so don't rush to open this one. Pair it with braised veal or slow-roasted lamb. Brunello Di Montalcino food pairings: braised veal, slow-roasted lamb, aged Brunello cheese. Drink: 2026 - 2040 51495 14.5% XD 750 mL $54.95 Score: 94/100. July 2026. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart

White Wine

Argyros Cuvee Monsignori Assyrtiko 2022, Santorini P.D.O., Greece: Argyros Monsignori 2022 Assyrtiko is fresh with citrus florals, green leaf and wild herb aromas and flavours with a long and zesty finish on a flinty mineral note. From a warm vintage, this is an exceptional Assyrtiko that will drink well right into the mid-2030s. Assyrtiko food pairings: grilled chicken breasts, vegetable tempura, fried Saganaki cheese. Drink: 2026 - 2034 35718 13.5% XD 750 mL $101.95 Score: 98/100. July 2026. Top Rated White Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
