What do our January Wines of the Month all have in common, besides being beautiful and uncommonly, ambrosially delicious? There are some really great wine labels this month. The Montes Twins Red Blend wins the Best Label of the Month award, but not by much. The two Les Athletes du Vin labels are superb, and the Cuma label is gorgeously colorful. If you shop for wine by looking for a great label, you can't go wrong with our January Wines of the Month.
