Vinho Verde $7.99
Vinho Verde, the classic eppervescent white from northern Portugal, is the perfect summer sipping white.. This is produced from indegenous grape varietals- Arinto, Trajadura and Loureiro. On the palate, it is clean and crisp with a touch of sparkly goodness. Shrimp cocktail makes a good pairing for this summer delight.

2011 Txakolina $18.99
From Getaria in the Basque speaking area of the northern coast of Spain, this is the perfect ultimate seafood white. Produced from the local Hondarribi Zuri grape, this is light with zesty acidity and a touch of eppervescence. This begs for grilled shellfish or salty charcuterie dishes. If you like Vinho Verde this is the perfect candidate for something new and interesting!

 Argiolas Selegas 2011 Nuragus di Cagliari $15.99
From the island of Sardinia, Nuragus di Cagliari is the name of a local grape varietal.
Ripe pears and apricots are present with a touch of herbaceousness and lavender on the aroma. At nearly 2,000 feet of elevation in a majority of limestone soil, the terroir adds enough acidity and minerality to compliment the richness and fruitiness. Think of Viognier and Inzolia wrapped into one!

Prunotto
2011 Dolcetto D'alba
$16.99
Located in the central part of the Langhe Hills in Piedmont, this winery has been owned by Antinori since 1989. Produced from Dolcetto, an often underrated Piedmontese grape, this winemaker expresses it in a more new world style with cherries and soft tannins on the palate. Fun for a summer barbecue and lighter poultry dishes. Try as an alternative to Bardolino or other light Italian reds.
