2018 Errazuriz Max Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon: $19.00
The 2018 Errazuriz Max Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon hails from the Aconcagua Valley in Chile and is named after founder Don Maximiano Errázuriz. Sourced from estate vineyards across the valley, this cabernet sauvignon offers a bright ruby-red color with violet hues. On the nose, it presents enticing aromas of red fruits, tobacco, cherries, and a soft spicy note, complemented by hints of dill and peppermint. The palate reveals luscious blackberry and bright black currant flavors, along with sweet herbs and a touch of oak.

Zoli Inzolia by Caruso & Minini
From the sun-drenched hills of Sicily, the Zoli Inzolia by Caruso & Minini is a symphony of Mediterranean flavors. This wine, with its delicate straw yellow hue and golden reflections, is a tribute to the meticulous attention to detail during its production. The winery, with a history that whispers tales of the late 1800s, is renowned for its dedication to indigenous varietals and the Inzolia grape. On the nose, it greets you with a fragrant bouquet of just-zested lemon, white peach, and green apple, followed by a chorus of fresh herbs. The palate is a dance of intense citrus and herbaceous notes, culminating in a finish that echoes with salted almonds. It’s a wine that pairs exquisitely with the simplicity of a Sicilian “paranza,” the elegance of fish carpaccio, or the comfort of mushroom pasta. Each sip is a celebration of Sicily’s rich viticultural heritage, a lively wine that stands out for its freshness and pleasant notes, perfect for toasting life’s grand moments and everyday pleasures alike.
