Despite an intense red fruit nose, this is a medium bodied with some acidity that goes well with meats with a touch of fat or gristle. Contrary to what you may think, this wine is grown in a relatively cool area, giving it its lighter body.

A big full bodied red with that kick (14.5%) would get from the region. Dark fruit and earthy tones come of a 6 month barrel aging process. Pair wisely, and dust off the grill for best results.

Cherries, blackberries and a dose of tannin. An any day tempranillo suitable for sandwiches or grilled meats, let this wine BREATH a good hour or so to "calm down" and bring out the subtle wooden hints.

Our first Catalonian white and what a joy it is. A mix of familiar fruit (pineapple and apple) mixed with some other (less familiar) parts of the garden, fennel and pine nuts. Just a hint of effervescence makes this something really special

A straight forward Sangiovesse that took gold in Prague in the 2018 competition. Granat red and red juicy fruit makes this a great value at the price. Look for the vanilla after letting this one breath for a bit.

Malbec is about dark fruit, chocolate, and spice, and this one is no exception. You will find a balance of tannin, sweetness from the plums and blueberries and a touch of acidity. Big flavor demanding "big" food that will not be overpowered. Red meats go best.

Round and full bodied, cherry and red fruit flavours. The wine was aged for 6 months in oak barrels before making its way to our table. Mencia is a delicate grape despite its colour, so look for fine flavours and best to pair with pork.

Veltlin is trendy no doubt, but the question should be why did it take so long ! This wine made of the oldest vines and aged 6 months in oak gives a complex flavor of pepper and white fruit. Elegant and complicated. Drink it slow.

It has indeed been a long while since we had an Australian in the box. Welcome back this cuvee with a merlot base. A very soft finish for a black / red drink full of coffee, plums and black berries. With quality of this caliber, we will be going down under more often from now on!

A classic primitive. Dark ruby red, lots of raspberries and a full fruity finish. It is the full flavor of forest fruits that make Primitivo so popular today, and you will not be disappointed with this one from Puglia. A true star (just like the detail on the label - check it out, lovely)

Aged for 3 months in oak has help make this young ruby red wine a bargain. Not overly complicated or particularly full, this is an easy going red for when you want a glass on a Tuesday evening. Do burgers or chicken and don't fuss to much. An easy wine for a take it easy evening.

In almost every box I find a wine that is surprising and exceptional. This was it! A blend of Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc, it would be difficult to find a white wine the better describes the word "Fresh". An exceptionally easy wine to drink all at a price that says more more more. 90 points, gold medalist - you don't need to know. This wine will convince you with the first sip.

It will be tough to find a more typical Austrian Veltliner than this one. Apples, pepper and a good dose of minerals gives it a slightly spicy, fruity flavor. A perfect table companion for a salad, fish or some fried chicken (preferably not from the coronel ;-) Prague wine trophy gold medalist. Drink it up !

A young fresh wine from the South East coast of Italie. Puglia, once the tourist destination of movie stars in now one of Italy's best locations for value wines at fair prices. Light yellow with a fruity nose, this is an easy going wine that will go well with all light foods.

Mike's Tip
Austrian Veltliner is all the rage at the moment, and with a wine like this no surprise. A mouthful of flavor comes from the 30 year old vines and 6 hours of maceration with the skins. Look for an explosion of grapefruit and a touch of tobacco. Interesting.... A Prague wine trophy silver medalist - go for it.
