Our two Wines of the Week (WOWs)! We are excited to introduce these two wines to you. Ask for a free sample any day we’re open this week!

❤️ Painted Wolf The Den Pinotage - Medium-bodied with ripe blueberry and mulberry, a touch of milk chocolate and toasty wood flavours, with berry fruit lingering on the palate.

💛 Painted Wolf The Den Chenin Blanc - Abundant fresh citrus, wet stone and tropical fruit aromas give way to a vibey bright creamy palate. Crisp acidity and a hint of vanilla oak add to the texture, and the wonderful fruit just lingers on and on. Exceptional value.

* Painted Wolf Wines supports the conservation of the highly endangered painted wolf (African wild dog) and the protection of the diminishing wild spaces of Africa, through its donations to the EWT and Tusk.

💛 One of One Sauvignon Blanc (California) - *Alcohol Removed Wine* Pale straw in color, with good clarity. Aromas of lemon custard and apple pie filling. Tastes of lemon zest, crisp pear, and graham cracker. Medium bodied, with a refreshing crisp acidity. Best enjoyed chilled. Less than 0.5% ABV; 10 calories per 5 oz. serving. One of One is a nonalcoholic wine project from fifth generation winemaker Paul Scotto.

❤️ Frascole Bitornino Rosso Toscana (Italy) - Purple red with violet reflections, this wine has an aroma of mature red fruits, such as blackcurrants and plums, with hints of dark chocolate.

💛 Gramercy Cellars Picpoul - Bold, perfumed aromatics of Meyer lemon, honeydew, and cantaloupe melon. Tangerine, honey, ginger, river stones, and a salty sea breeze mineral edge. Slightly more palate weight than the 2022 vintage but still carries bright, puckering acidity that asks for a briny seafood pairing. Crushable, delicious, and food friendly.

PAIR WITH: Oysters

❤️ La Galoche Beaujolais - Vibrant and refreshing red wine made from 100% Gamay grapes. Bright and with aromas of red berries such as strawberry and raspberry, accompanied by a touch of earthiness. On the palate, it offers a delightful balance of fruit, acidity, and subtle tannins, making it an easy-to-drink yet structured wine.

PAIR WITH: Ham, Turkey

💛 Prescription Chardonnay - 100% Chardonnay sourced from James Reamer in Clarksburg, CA. Lively aromatics of high-toned citrus and lemon peel (zingy acidity), tropical fruits and fresh cream lead into a refreshing and mouthwatering palate. Flavors of guava, papaya, Key lime, and crème brûlée flow throughout a long, smooth, mineral laced finish.

❤️ Prescription Cabernet Sauvignon - 100% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from the eastern side of Alexander Valley in the Mayacamas Mountains. Rich, bright fruit with notes of blackberry, cherry, and black currant with a touch of ripe, green olive oil that may remind some of a classic Bordeaux. The soft tannins provide a smooth mouthfeel and a texturally pleasing wine.
