Ve Ve Vinho Verde 2023
$13.99
Vinho Verde is so popular domestically, the USA, is now the #1 importer of these Portuguese wines. So it’s no surprise that Vinho Verde rosé is seeing an increase in popularity. And it’s not hard to see why! These light, fruity, slightly spritzy wines are made for park and poolside sipping. This bottle from Ve Ve is aromatic and bursting with flavor. It has a bit of effervescence with a fresh acidity. A lovely warm weather drink!
Herisson Rose 2023 BIB
$31.99
What's better than a bottle of rosé on a beautiful spring day? How about four bottles of rosé! That's exactly what you get from this box rosé from Herisson. Early on, boxed wines were mostly generic juice meant to give consumers a longer lasting option to jug wines. Not surprisingly, these wines acquired a not so great reputation but the tide began to turn as serious producers began making higher quality wine. The Herisson Rosé comes from Herault, Languedoc in southern France and is made from 100% grenache. It's dry, fresh, and vibrant with solid fruit notes of strawberry and cherry. Oh, and did we mention? There's four bottles inside the box!
Sorin Coquard Bourgogne Chardonnay 2022
$22.99
Domaine Sorin-Coquard is a 4th generation Domaine. In the vineyard, they practice organic farming and are HEV (High Environmental Value) Level 3 certified. The bottle for this tasting is unoaked, fermented, and aged in stainless steel. It’s fresh with a round creamy palate of stone fruit, citrus, and a crisp minerality.

Herdade do Rocim, Fresh From Amphora 2021 1L
$23.99
Located in the Lower Alentejo region in the southern half of Portugal, between Vidigueira and Cuba, lies the estate of Herdade do Rocim. For this tasting, we’ll be sampling two bottles from the winery. First up is their Fresh from Amphora Red which is a partnership between Herdade do Rocim and Niepoort. Nat’ Cool is an innovative concept initiated by Niepoort in which various producers come together to create “cool and funky” wines that are light and easy drinking. The interpretation for this bottle uses the ancestral method of making the wine in talha, a technique developed by the Romans for making wine in clay amphora. Vinification in clay pots produces a light, fresh, and harmonious wine. A perfect warm weather sipper that begs for a slight chill!
Diwald, Zweigelt Grossriedenthaler 2020
$17.99
Zweigelt, a crossing of blaufränkisch and St. Laurent, was created in the 1920's by Professor Fritz Zweigelt. It only really gained recognition after the Second World War and nowadays, zweigelt is now Austria’s most planted red grape. Although commonly used as a single varietal it is often blended with cabernet sauvignon and merlot to create an Australian twist on a Bordeaux blend. This bottle from Diwald is made from organic grapes and displays juicy red fruit, black pepper, and a touch of smoke.
Herdade Do Rocim, Mariana Tinto 2022
$17.99
The second bottle from Herdade Do Rocim is their Mariana Tinto. Catarina Vieira, who has been in charge of the development of the estate, believes that Alentejo has the unique conditions required to produce world-class wines. The wine has a palate of red berries, chocolate, and smooth balanced tannin.
