STAFF PICKS
Madison's Pick

Heinrich 'Red' Burgenland 2017 - $21.99

Heinrich is one of those producers you should be aware of in Austria's Burgenland. They started with just 1 hectare in 1990, now farming about 90 hectares biodynamically. This is one of their entry level wines, a blend of the region's indigenous varietals: 50% zweigelt, 35% blaufrankisch, 15% sankt laurent. This has long been one of my favorite every day reds. Juicy red fruits and bits of spice and earth - one of those perfect burger pairing wines. Serve as the back label recommends... with a slight chill!
Patti's Pick

Portal da Calçada Rosé 2018 - $15.99

Your preconceptions may be that Lambrusco is a sweet, simple wine, but this wine is dry and complex with plenty of red and black fruits. Refreshing on the palate with vibrant crunchy red fizz and zippy acidity. Drink cold with friends over brunch!
Patrick's Pick

Alloy Wine Works, Just Pee-chee, 375ml can - $7.99

Perfect for summer evenings by the pool or on a boat, "Just Pee-chee", from Alloy Wine Works, is white wine co-fermented with peaches with Amarillo hops (adding depth and floral, citrus, orange notes).
This is like having a super yummy Bellini in a can! All you need to do is pop, drink, and say ahhhhhhh!
