Red Wine

Gabriel Meffre Sainte-Catherine 2021, Gigondas, Rhône A.O.P, France: Red-currant and cocoa-ganache scents weave with dusty-earth depth and a whisper of mesquite smoke, while firm tannins carry a finish brightened by bitter-cherry lift. A great pairing for filet mignon or smoked brisket. Food pairings: roast leg of lamb, roast crown pork and corn niblets, roast Cornish hens and wild rice. Drink: 2025 - 2028 370270 14.5% XD 750 mL $40.95 Score: 94/100. October 2025. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart

White Wine

Alain Geoffroy Domaine Le Verger Chablis 2023, Burgundy A.O.P., France: Domaine Le Verger Chablis layers Granny Smith-apple crispness and white-flower perfume over flint-smoke minerality and bright, food-friendly acidity. Try it with oysters or goat-cheese crostini. Chablis food pairings: seafood, shellfish, grilled chicken. Drink: 2025 - 2026 181289 12.5% XD 750 mL $36.85 Score: 90/100. October 2025. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
