Prosecco Extra-Dry 'Cuvée Beatrice' |
For the price, this wine is a damn success. It hits all the right notes for a DOC Prosecco. The nose has slight floral aromas with a hint of poached apples. The palate is very refreshing, with casual bubbles and great balanced fruit. You could trick some folks into thinking it costs more. |

Carson Scott |
Cabernet Sauvignon |
Initial aromas of blackberry, blueberry, black plum, nutmeg, vanilla, chocolate, cranberry, raspberry and roses greet the nose. The palate opens to earthier tones of black-pepper spice, toasted wood and hints of leather and meat adding additional depth of flavor. Chalky tannins coat the palate while the acidity is high enough to add a refreshing quality. An overall well-balanced and enjoyable Cabernet Sauvignon. Best Buy. |

Domain Durand |
Sancerre |
Fresh and fruity with lively acidity, this wine shows a touch of minerality along with bright citrus flavors. Tension in the wine suggests it will soften and age. Drink from 2024. |

Chablis Grand Cru Bougros |
Perfumed and elegant, this Bougros shows plenty of promise. Flavor of candied pear, fresh apricot, citrus pith, white flowers and rainwater, with a soft stony mineral finish. Drink now. |

Tour Haut Vignoble |
Saint-Estephe |
The Cabernet Sauvignon in this wine gives it a good structure. Ripe tannins are still young, with black currant fruits and structure promising a good future. The wine should be ready from 2026. |

Spice Trader' Cabernet Sauvignon Langhorne Creek |
As per the name, this is a highly spicy, minty Cab with heady notes of cinnamon gum and black-cherry cordial. The palate shows similar flavors, but never finds the depth or power to integrate such bold flavors, resulting in the vinous equivalent of nana wearing too much perfume. Best Buy. |

Spice Trader' Shiraz Langhorne Creek |
The name of this wine says it all: this is a highly spicy, minty Cab, with heady notes of cinnamon gum and black-cherry cordial. It never quite finds the depth or power to integrate such bold flavors, though, resulting in the vinous equivalent of nana wearing too much perfume. Best Buy. |

Lobster Reef |
Sauvignon Blanc |
A nose led by lemon-lime and passion fruit—and backed by some grassy, bell pepper notes—leads to a palate that’s crisp, clean and refreshing. It’s straightforward, easy-drinking drop. Best Buy. |
