MAY WINES OF THE MONTH
WHITE OF THE MONTH
Santa Luz Sauvignon Blanc, Chile
"The softer side of Sauvignon Blanc."
Feeling a little burned by the high acidity of New Zealand and Argentinian Sauvignon Blancs? Then you’ll love the Santa Luz. On the palate, this Sauvignon Blanc is delicate and easy with notes of creamy lemon bar, honeydew melon, and guava jam. This white is unassuming and soothing in its softness - a great wine for kicking back on the patio. For pairing, try simply dressed rainbow trout (think extra virgin olive oil and thyme), grilled vegetables, lemony quinoa salad, and other lighter fare.

RED OF THE MONTH
Santa Luz Carmenere, Chile
"The bold and the bountiful."
If you’re searching for something that packs flavor but not punch, the Santa Luz Carmenere is the red for you. This Carmenere is bold with soft edges and shows loads of blackberry and black cherry fruit! We’ll be drinking this wine with all kinds of pork dishes, marinated flank steak, or even better, the Marczyk Fine Foods Steak of the Month: Bison Culotte Steak.

MAY WINE
Ressò Garnacha Blanca, Spain
"A white to transport you to the Mediterranean coast."
To sip this wine is to imagine sunshine pouring through the clouds on walk through a summer orchard. When you try this beauty you’ll be surrounded by blooming white flowers, juicy tree-ripe fruit, and stone minerality. “Today wasn’t that bad,” you’ll think. Relax and pair with soft mild cheeses, nuts, sliced pears, or some crisp veggie spears with yogurt dip. This Garnacha Blanca is delightful with shellfish, light pasta, or simple chicken dishes. Remember, these bright fruity flavors are sippable rain or shine!

Ressò Garnacha, Spain
"Add thrills to your Tuesday night with this feisty red."
Add a little zest to the midweek or anytime and try this flashy little wine. This Garnacha is approachable and its deep ruby color will invite you for a swirl. The heady aromatics of earthy red berries will draw you into a silky array of candied strawberry, black raspberry licorice, and peppery cocoa. Great with all of your tacos, empanadas, black bean salsa, slow cooked pork, meatballs, and salty cheeses.

La Fiera Soave, Italy
"Pronounced: "so-ah-vay." Now say it with some flair!"
Mom is a Pinot Grigio fan? Have her try this instead. La Fiera is named for the region near Verona that produces this dry fruity blend of Garganega, Trebbiano, and Chardonnay. It has the freshness of crunchy green pear, apple, white flowers, and citrus on the palate. It’s the perfect all-purpose May white! Use this wine as an apéritif and enjoy with lemony hummus and roasted spring veggies. Drink it through the meal with fresh red snapper, Colorado-raised chicken, or risotto primavera.

La Fiera Primitivo, Italy
"Hello, all you new world fans out there."
This wine was an instant "yes" for all of our staff. If you liked Cantina Cittadini Nero d’Avola and Primaterra Sangiovese, meet our new satiny smooth, plump, easy-drinking Italian! Not familiar with the grape name? You may know this varietal by its alias: Zinfandel. Primitivo is a softer version than the power-house California style. It’s uncomplicated by oak, intensely fragrant, jammy with dark fruit, brilliant in color, and finishes with soft round tannins. Pair liberally with turkey burgers, pastas, or roasted eggplant.

Château La Freynadelle Bordeaux Blanc, France
"A springy vivacious little white blend!"
This Bordeaux is intensely aromatic and flavorful with notes of Meyer lemon, gooseberry, and melon. There’s a nice mineral note here too that pops on the finish. This wine has a purity and preciseness that we love and the aromatics just leap from the glass. The Château La Freynadelle feels delightfully nimble on the palate with all this vibrant acid and snappy citrus. It would be delicious alongside seared scallops, fresh spring salads, roasted chicken, or linguine with clams and fennel.
Our price: $12.99
Case price $11.04
Exem Bourdeaux Rouge, France
"Exem: the French abbreviation for 'exemplaire.' Exemplary Bordeaux!"
If you’ve ever felt intimidated by Bordeaux or looked at a label with a Château on it and thought, “I just have no idea what this is," this is the Bordeaux to educate yourself with. It is made in a very approachable style with abundant fruit and none of the vegetal tones that prove to be challenging for some. Come and taste the beauty that is Bordeaux! Bring on a picnic in Cheesman Park with cheeses, cured meats, olives, and fruit. Ask our deli team for other picnic suggestions!
