Old World

Borgo Scopeto Chianti Classico
Chianti, Italy
From Vittorio Fiore, Italy's first consulting enologist, this superb Chianti deftly combines Italian tradition with a modern sophistication. Fresh, lively and full-bodied, it's just the red wine to go with a wide variety of foods.

Marques de Caceres Rioja Blanco
Rioja, Spain
This Spanish white wine is made with "Viura", Rioja's major white grape varietal. It has the mouth-feel of lively minerality with melons and pears that make it refreshing and perfectly balanced.

Perrin Cotes du Rhone Villages Vinsobres
Rhone, France
A red blend of 50% grenache and 50% syrah, Vinsobres is one of 17 villages unique enough to have its own Cotes du Rhone designation. From the makers of Chateau de Beaucastel, this is Rhone at its best: robust, complex, and engaging.

New World

Fairview Pinotage
South Africa
South Africa's classical red grape is barrel-fermented to give it a smokey, spicy texture that makes it a great mate for BBQ or spicy dishes. From a property growing grapes since 1693!

Santa Rita 120 Cabernet Sauvignon
Chile
Bold, rich Cabernet Sauvignon with Chile, try with a grilled T-bone steak!

Villa Maria Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough, New Zealand
The excitement of the New World of New Zealand white wine is perfectly captured in this benchmark Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough (on the Southern Island). Crisp, fruity and flavorful, it's a great all-around wine for dining and entertaining.
