This week’s list of sale wine is a great mix of bottles you can (and should!) enjoy today, and those that will last far beyond when summer becomes fall and winter once again. Better yet, the list below includes several that we will be tasting in our downtown Minneapolis store this weekend!
Learn more about the wine we are offering at a great price this week and we hope to see you in the store soon:
Chateau La Nerthe Les Cassagnes Rose 2018
Rhone, France
91 Points Wine Enthusiast
Blossomy and berried, the nose is as lovely as the palate of this perfumed dry rosé. Crisp but concentrated black cherry and raspberry flavors persist, tinged by savory herbs and a hint of tannin on the finish. An elegant, sturdy rosé, it stands up well to food and should hold up well beyond the summer.
Sale $15.99/bottle
Reg. $19.99/bottle
Cune Monopole Rioja Blanco 2017
Rioja, Spain
91 Points James Suckling
A bright and fruity white with mineral and sliced apple character. HIints of pear. Medium body, crisp finish. Always delicious. Drink now.
Sale $13.99/bottle

Merieau Gamay 2017
Loire Valley, France
Jean-François Merieau makes an excellent example of Touraine Gamay, more nervy, high-pitched and mineral than Beaujolais and so satisfying to drink slightly chilled. The palate is very pleasurable in its youth with vibrant red fruit. It will pair pleasantly with grilled meats, as well as soft and mild cheeses.

Maison L'Envoye Morgon Cote de Py 2016

Nielson by Byron Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir 2014
Central Coast, California
Luscious black cherries and touches of sultry smoked pork are deftly brightened with fresh hibiscus aromas on the nose of this bottling from the Byron family of wines. The hibiscus joins pomegranate on the palate, lifted by a pinch of lavender and candied lilacs and leveled by an elegant slate earthiness.

Torbreck Woodcutter's Shiraz 2017
