Red Wine

Zuccardi Brazos De Los Andes Cabernet Sauvignon 2023, Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina: This wine boasts impressive vigour yet remains elegantly restrained rather than overbearing. Its palate unfolds with generous layers of dark berries, blackcurrant, cherry, bittersweet cocoa, and warming spice, all supported by resolute tannins. An excellent match for grilled dishes, it’s delightful now and will continue to evolve gracefully through 2028. Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: grilled steak, BBQ ribs, roasted game sausages. Drink: 2025 - 2028 42756 13.5% XD 750 mL $17.95 Score: 90/100. May 2025. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart

White Wine

Gérard Bertrand Côte des Roses Sauvignon Blanc 2024, Pays D'oc, Languedoc I.G.P., France: Hailing from Languedoc’s diverse soils—where limestone, schist, and gravel mingle to create a unique terroir—Gérard Bertrand Côte Des Roses 2024 Sauvignon Blanc arrives in a striking, rose-embossed bottle. This dry, medium-bodied wine bursts with bright tropical fruit notes, lively citrus zest, and a hint of delicate herbs, all set against a defined mineral backdrop. On the palate, it maintains a refreshing crispness with a persistent, stony finale that speaks to its regional roots. An excellent choice for pairing with fresh shellfish or a vibrant vegan pasta featuring asparagus, lemon, and peas, this wine truly captures the spirit of its origin. Sauvignon Blanc food pairings: seafood Alfredo, salads topped with chilled shrimp or goat cheese, herbed quiches. Drink: 2025 - 2027 23906 13% XD 750 mL $19.95 Score: 90/100. May 2025. Best Value White Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
