Vigneti La Selvanella 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG ($47)

Balsamic-kissed cherries spread generously across the palate. Searing acidity freshens the wine, while an array of floral tones and Mediterranean herbs add layers of complexity.

VINO 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, Washington ($13)

A blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon and 33% Sangiovese. Spiced cedar and ripe dark cherry are intense and expressive. Chalky tannins address a graphite-toned foundation, with hints of clove, cigar leaf, and dried violets.

VINO 2022 Pinot Grigio, Evergreen Vineyard, Columbia Valley, WA ($13)

Minerality underscores precious notes of Key lime and summer pear. Expressive floral tones gather on the powered vanilla finish. What a great value!

White-peppered cherries carry a garden of Italian herbs to the sleek and clean finish.

Wairau River 2025 Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, NZ ($18)
