Moselle / France
Auxerrois, Gewurztraminer, Muller Thurgau, Pinot Gris
The Mosel (or Moselle) river allows for wine production in Luxembourg, Germany and, in the case of Vaux, France. This subtly aromatic white displays ripe white fruits and fresh acid.
2019 Tanunda Grand Barossa Riesling

Barossa Valley / Southeastern Australia
100% Riesling
The majority of the Riesling vines employed for the Grand Barossa bottling are very old at 95+ years of age and are planted in a combination of sand and limestone. The savory, salty, citrusy character of this unequivocally dry Riesling is quite irresistible.

Chablis / France
100% Chardonnay
A single site (though not 1er Cru) Chablis sourced from 25-45 year-old vines, Lavantureux’s Vauprin is fermented in stainless steel and aged in a combination of used barrels and steel tanks. Fresh, concentrated Chablis.

Charnay / Beaujolais / France
100% Pinot Noir
Sourcing from Pinot Noir vines interplanted with Gamay in the southern portion of Beaujolais, Jean-Paul Brun fashions a bright, fruit-first style of Pinot Noir. The wine is fermented and aged in concrete tanks.
2019 Marietta
Game Trail

Yorkville Highlands / California / US
100% Cabernet Sauvignon

2020 Turley
Old Vines
$31.99 / Case Price $25.60
California / US
100% Zinfandel
The 2020 Turley Old Vine Zinfandel is a forceful, fruit driven red leading with aromas of very ripe peach and grilled herbs. The wine’s full bodied palate offers preserved red fruit flavors and a smooth, slightly tannic texture. Finishing with a touch of baking spice, this burly Zinfandel possesses appropriate acidity and carries its 15.2% ABV with ease..
