Featured Wines of the Month

This month we celebrate our Ruby wines!

Ruby Donna Moscato

Made from a blend of Moscato grapes grown in Piemonte and Puglia, this wine is fresh, fruity and made in the "frizzante" style with a hint of sparkle on the finish. The elegant bouquet promises fresh juicy peaches and pear flavors with intense ripeness. The crisp, sweet and slightly effervescent texture is in perfect balance with the acidity and lightness the wine delivers.

Ruby Dolce Malvasia

Ruby Dolce is a wine from the DOC area of Malvasia di Casorzo. It is bright, fresh, juicy and refreshing with a slight bit of spritz. The Italians call this Frizzante, but we call it delicious. This wine displays ripe cherry, raspberry, and strawberry fruits mingled with hints of spice, cassis, and candied currants. It is slightly sweet and an excellent cocktail, spritz or sangria wine!

St. Urbans-Hof

Layet GG 2021

93 points - Vinous

“This is mostly from ungrafted vines, directly on the Mosel where the river is at its

broadest – a very warm site, but on poor, gray slate. The nose is still shy, with just a

little reduction. The palate almost has a touch of spiced apple and there is real texture, more body and more oomph. The finish is full of lemon clarity and yeasty texture.”

Cave Spring

Estate Riesling 2020

91 points - Wine Enthusiast

BEST BUY

“Green apple and Asian pear aromas are joined by ginger, honey and a nice splash of

petrol. The palate is more to the citrus, with flavors of lemon, lime, juniper berries, lemon basil, honeycomb and tonic water. A lithe, elegant mouthfeel with elevated acidity. Very refreshing.”

“Its distinctly herbal nose features thyme and lavender, along with macerated strawberries and white pepper. Tangy

cranberry meets Thai basil, cumin and dark chocolate on the palate. The wine’s soft texture matches plush tannins and moderate acidity.”
