Muri-Gries Lagrein, Alto Adige 2017
Regular price: $29.99
Sale Price: $23.99
Yep, the grape is Lagrein. Its ok if you’ve never heard of it. Its found almost exclusively in northeastern Italy, and its not overtly fruity, with good grip and almond like bitter notes on the finish. Versatile, and friendly, it works very well with pate, cured meats and grilled foods.
La Croix Peyrassol IGP Méditerranée 2017
Regular price: $19.99
Sale Price: $15.99
This is what is referred to as a ‘custom cuvee’, made specifically for the importer for sale in the US. Luckily, this importer, Neil Rosenthal, is a classicist who doesn’t muck up the cuvee, rather lets the grapes (Cab Sauv, Merlot & Syrah) do the talking. Full and rich with a nice bit of rusticity, its a great value for those soon to come cool night.
