A true crowd-pleaser with depth and personality.

Bucher Vineyard – Russian River Valley
This elegant Pinot Noir highlights the cool-climate characteristics of the Russian River Valley. Expect aromas of cherry, raspberry, and earthy undertones, with a silky texture on the palate. The wine balances fruit with subtle spice and bright acidity. It’s a refined New World take on a classic Burgundian style.

Whitehaven Wines, Sauvignon Blanc “Windward” – Marlborough
Vibrant and aromatic, this Sauvignon Blanc bursts with tropical fruit, citrus, and fresh herb notes. Its crisp acidity and clean finish make it incredibly refreshing and food-friendly. Marlborough’s signature style shines through with intensity and brightness. A quintessential New World white that’s both lively and precise.

Allegrini, Veronese “Palazzo della Torre” – Italy
This Italian red blend offers a harmonious mix of ripe cherry, dried fruit, and subtle spice. Crafted using partial appassimento techniques, it brings richness while maintaining balance. The wine is smooth and structured, with a lingering finish. It’s a wonderful bridge between traditional and modern Old World styles.
