Gran Appasso Puglia Rosso Red Blend 750 mL

La Stella Vivace Pinot Grigio greets you on the nose with a very expressive note of Asian pear and lime zest. The palate is packed with fruit cocktail flavours and the long finish carries on with intense citrus rind. A grigio on steroids that can be enjoyed on its own or a crispy skin organic chicken with roasted garlic pan drippings

Famille Quiot Les Arnevels Carianne 750 mL

Austin Hope Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon has the telltale confected fruit of the Paso region on the nose, crushed cherry and dried cassis, but the story here is body and finish. Spicy chocolate and coffee notes with a finish of lavender, licorice and mint and power. Some tannin and acidity surround the commotion like rent-a-cops at a biker rally, but they aren’t in control. Saxum is making Paso wines this thick and loud, but they’re making them out of Rhone varieties and they cost a zillion dollars. This is an “it” wine, a true competitor to premium Napa, and it’s a steal, at least for right now.

Flatbed Red Blend 750 mL

"An absolute firecracker, especially on the naughty finish, my goodness. Just south of Melbourne sits the Mornington Peninsula, a cooler climate (for Australia, it’s still hotter than here) with a knack for Chards and Pinots, you may not have heard about it because not much shows up here – it’s a well-kept Aussie secret and most of the tiny production is consumed locally (and never submitted for international review – only local press). Lucky for us we get to drink the best of it, this Estate Chardonnay from Montalto is brimming with energy – certainly one of the best non-buttery Chards I’ve tried this year. The nose is restrained and refined, there is some citrus and stone fruit betwixt the minerals – it’s not Chablis but it’s not not Chablis either – and the medium-to-full body coats the tongue, but the story here is the Shazam, Van Halen Solo back end. Lightsaber-y tartaric acidity tempered by glycerine heat and apple notes, the finish is racy, immediate and brilliant." - Jordan Carrier, Vintage Room Consultant.
