Paolo Leo Negroamaro
$23.99
Negroamaro is a native variety of Salento. The grape gets its name from the Latin word for black due to its rich ruby colour. Despite its high concentration of tannins and full body, this wine is elegant and well-balanced. Notes of fruit and spice on the finish make this IGP wine great for roasts, cured meats, medium-aged cheese, pizza, and second (or secondi) pasta dishes.

From The Producer
"Wild Life Black Walnut Bitters bring a nutty texture and flavour into a cocktail. Infused with black walnut husk, leaf, nut, and bittering roots, these dynamic bitters have an amazing mouth feel!"

El Enemigo Bonarda
$39.99
El Enemigo is a winery co-owned by Adrianna Catena and Alejandro Vigil, both of Catena Zapata fame. The winemaker calls 2018 "El Año Mendocino", the Mendoza Year. After a small cool vintage in 2017, which we call “El Año Bordelés” (the Bordeaux Year) and a small, very cool and rainy year in 2016 “El Año Bourguignon” (the Burgundian year), they finally got a vintage that is classically Mendozan: dry, cool, sunny and with moderate yields in every region from the lowest to the highest altitudes.

Cantina Marilina Bianco
$29.99
This distinctive white wine hails from Italy, specifically the island of Sicily, in the southeastern province of Siracusa, near the town of Pachino. Cantina Marilina was established in 2007 by Angelo Paternò, a long-time Sicilian winemaking veteran, who purchased 60 hectares of vineyards. The winery is now managed by his daughters, Marilina and Federica, who champion a minimal interventionist and organic winemaking philosophy with absolute respect for the earth.
Beautiful Sicilian blend of Viognier and Chardonnay with intense aromatics and notes of scotch broom (native shrub in the EU). Perfect paired with fish dishes and fresh salads.

Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Elsa
$62.99
Moss Wood's Elsa gives a different look at what Sauvignon Blanc can be, eschewing the new world mouth puckering and green style that New Zealand has made famous. Instead, Elsa pays follows a more Sancerre-like path using French oak barrels for part of its primary fermentation and the proceeding malolactic fermentation as well. The French oak barrels are used for a further 10 months of aging before the wine is bottled. The result is a creamy, oily textured Sauvignon Blanc that retains its acidity while becoming more rich, buttery and honeyed with age.
No, this wine is not a Frozen tie-in. This Elsa takes its name from the mother of Clare Mugford, the wife portion in the husband/wife duo of winemaker owners of Moss Wood. 2019 was the inaugural vintage of Elsa from Moss Wood's Ribbon Vale vineyards. Were she still alive, Clare's mother would have turned one century old in 2019.
