A regular-size bottle just wouldn’t do.

Albert Bichot Morgon $19.99

Its nose is redolent of jam with nuances of spice and a discrete touch of smoke. It offers tannic structure and lovely fullness with a slight limestone profile. On the palate, this wine features exceptional volume, fleshiness and pleasing length. 
FOOD/WINE PAIRING
Our Morgon “Les Charmes” is the perfect match for grilled meats and deli meats. At the end of your meal, pair it with fine, fruity cheeses.

Domaine Le Goeuil Cotes du Rhone $17.99
Catherine’s vineyards are frequently subject to the forceful mistral, which is known to purify vines of excess moisture when it is not wreaking havoc on her beautiful flower garden. Her vineyards enjoy all the benefits of organic farming: a grassy cover crop in between vineyard rows that provides nutrients and microbiotic growth and well-aerated soils in a typically tough and relatively impermeable sandy molasse. She credits this soil for giving her wines with finesse and approachability, but she deserves credit, too. Brave trailblazing, risk-taking, and persistence in the face of scrutiny have given this creative maverick the fortitude to make delicious, elegant blends year after year.

Orin Swift F4 French Red Blend $19.99

Locations F French Red Wine is a blend of Grenache from the Roussillon, Syrah from the Rhone Valley and assorted Bordeaux varieties. It was fermented in large oak vats and aged in barrel for ten months prior to bottling. A dense ruby/purple color is followed by a big, sweet kiss of licorice, black currants and camphor. Deep, full-bodied and ripe (but not over-ripe), it possesses good freshness, vibrancy and delineation as well as a juicy, in-your-face style. These wines are all meant to be drunk upon release, but enough stuffing is present that they should evolve for 4-5 years.
