Red Wine

Torre Zambra Colle Maggio Riserva Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2020, Abruzzo D.O.C., Italy: A deep bouquet of blackcurrant jam, warm spice cake and a dash of toasted cedar greets the nose. On the palate, cocoa-dust and ripe plum meld into a supple, medium-full frame underpinned by velvety tannins. A subtle mineral streak adds lift to the generous finish. Pair with wild-mushroom ragout or aged Manchego on grilled sourdough. Montepulciano D'abruzzo food pairings: grilled game, grilled steak, hearty stews. Drink: 2025 - 2035 44071 14% XD 750 mL $34.95 Score: 91/100. July 2025. Top Rated Red Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart

White Wine

Spy Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2023, Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand: Spy Valley’s SB explodes with feijoa, kiwifruit and grapefruit-zest aromatics, all threaded through a saline-mineral backbone. Its succulent mid-palate and racy acidity drive a long, exuberant finish that beckons another sip. This textbook Marlborough expression captures sunlit warmth and cool-night freshness. Drink through 2026. Sauvignon Blanc food pairings: Asian chicken salad, pork tenderloin, grilled radicchio, avocado and papaya salad. Drink: 2025 - 2026 686675 13% XD 750 mL $19.95 Score: 92/100. July 2025. Best Value White Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
