HÖPLER PANNONICA Red Blend Austria |
|
|
What the heck is Blaufränkisch? It's the parent grape of Gamay and Zweigelt. What the heck is Zweigelt? Related to St. Laurent. And what is that? A beefier Pinot Noir — finally something that everyone can relate to. Hey, weird grapes are not weird, you just haven't tried them yet. They're yummy, and it's only $12.99. |

VILLA SPARINA Gavi Italy |

HALF NEBBIOLO, HALF BARBERA, ALL DELICIOUS! The two most important red grapes of Piedmont in one bottle. Together they create a balanced blend that shows the power and intensity of Nebbiolo and the fruit and spice of Barbera. It's like they were meant to be together. |

KIONA Merlot Washington |
