The Wines!!

Wolfberger Cremant d'Alsace Rose' $18.99

Alsace, France - This "traditional method" sparkling Pinot Noir possesses vividly fresh notes of red currant dominate the nose.
These also play on the palate where they are accentuated by finely fizzing mousse and ample freshness.
The body is light, dry and beautifully tangy—ideal as a mouthwatering apéritif. 

Wolfberger Pinot Gris 2017, Alsace $17.99

Alsace, France - Slight notes of yellow pear appear gently on the nose and become fully-fledged on the soft easy fruit-driven palate.
A touch of sweetness helps these fruity flavors along.
An edge of bitter zestiness and freshness contains the fruit. This finishes off dry but fresh. 

Chateau de Segries, Cotes du Rhone 2016 $17.99
A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre and 5% each Carignan and Cinsault aged solely in concrete, this medium-bodied wine is simply a joy to drink. Black cherries, dried spices and Provençal herbs finish with a silky touch. 
Enjoy with a large variety of food, from pizza to pasta, hamburgers or even on its own slightly chilled. 

Font de Jeu, Cotes de Castillon 2015 $19.99
Husband and wife duo Helene and Frederic Lapeyronie are the fourth generation of winemakers in the family. Frederic is the vineyard manager, Helene is the winemaker. She also teaches viticulture and enology in Saint Emilion.  This Bordeaux blend has aromas of blackberry, blackcurrants, licorice and vanillin. Medium-bodied with a solid texture of dark fruit, roasted coffee, and spice flavors.
Fabulous wine from the fantastic 2015 vintage.
 
Alain Jaume Chateau Mazane Vacqueyras $24.99

94 points Jeb Dunnuck |  90 points Robert Parker
Chateau Mazane Vacqueyras Rouge is medium-bodied, pure and elegant. It offers plenty of plum, blueberry, spring flowers and peppery notes. On the palate, the richness of the tannins harmonizes with the smoothness of the wine. The finish is long, with spice aromas and licorice.
