New Wine Arrivals Plus a Case of the Month Feature

Introducing our latest additions to the shop, including a playful and juicy Slovenian sparkling wine, a creamy Italian white, and a distinctively savory Bandol rosé (also in our August Case of the Month).

Each of these wines offers a unique and delightful experience, perfect for toasting the last days of summer and beyond. Let's explore the delightful characteristics of these new arrivals and the stories behind their origins.



August Case of the Month Feature

August is the best time of year to visit the South of France, so we're celebrating its region's warm climates, rocky hillsides, and maritime influence with our August case of the month!

While no trip to Provençe would be complete without plenty of "pink wine," Bandol would certainly be stop number one. Bandol is a region east of Marseille, in Provençe, renowned for world-class rosés.

Here, the hillside slopes away from the Mediterranean Sea, providing a barrage of warm southern sun and cool sea air on its terraced vineyards, which were first planted in 600 B.C.E. by the Ancient Greeks.

While Grenache, Cinsault, Carignan, Syrah and "Rolle" (otherwise known as Vermentino) all do well in this region, the grape Mourvedre lends itself to distinctively savory wines.
