October 2022:

Bodega DiamAndes Rosado
Uco Valley, Argentina

You don't see many 100% Malbec rosés in the market, so this is a novel wine. It has strawberry and mild citrus notes and quite a bit of structure on the palate; this is a rosé to pair with food, rather than to be enjoyed merely as an aperitif. It has enough character to stand up to BBQ, red meats, or fattier vegetarian dishes. Vegan-friendly wine.

Domaine de Stricou Incipio Carignan Blanc NEW
Languedoc, France

Incipio displays notes of verbena and jasmine on the nose followed by perfectly ripe white peach notes.
On the palate the wine is rich yet fresh and vibrant with nice salinity, ocean spray and a
touch of mint.
 

Farina Lugana NEW 
Verona, Italy

Straw yellow with greenish shades. Elegant and fresh, it reminds of wild flowers, mini mum flowers and linden, which evolve in apricot and white flesh fruits, delicate, smooth, sapid and very harmonic. Ideal with fish, white meats and soft cheeses. An excellent aperitif.

Salcheto Chianti "Biskero" NEW
Tuscany, Italy

An easy drinking, everyday wine composed of Sangiovese (85%),
Canaiolo, Mammolo and Merlot. Part of this wine is matured in 300-liter American oak “tonneaux." Vintage 2021 has been characterized, once again, by intense climatic phenomenon such as frost and drought. Its wines are proposing a robust and intense experience.
Pair with fatty or cheesy dishes.

Undurraga Carmenere
Rapel Valley, Chile

This wine shows an attractive bright violet color. In its aroma ripe plums and confit figs mingle with a touch of mocha and tobacco. It is a fresh, tasty and juicy wine, full of soft and sweet tannins. It is a modern wine with perfect balance between fruit and wood, which brings complexity and elegance. Great choice to accompany spicy pasta and meat, soft cheeses and stews. Ideal with gratin eggplants.

Mad Fish Cabernet Sauvignon
Western Australia

The color is a rich deep ruby and leads you to an enticing nose brimming with succulent dark berry fruits supported by hints of raspberry, mocha, savory spice and rosemary. The palate offers great vibrancy and depth of flavor – black and blue berries, redcurrants, plum compote and roasted chestnuts mingle with alluring coffee and cocoa and a minty earthiness. Supple tannins allow this wide array of flavors to enliven and excite the mid palate and then linger on the finish.
