November 2024 Manager picks

This month we are featuring 4 tasty wines from Italy in our Manager Picks.

Pavette Pinot Noir (Ca) Ripe, crunchy red fruits and a subtle warm savory baking spice note. Cranberry, raspberry and pomegranate flavors make this one totally crushable. $13.99

Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc Viognier (Napa Ca) Crisp, bright, and vivacious! The Chenin aromatics bring citrus characters of tangerine, yuzu, pear, orange blossom, and honeydew melon. The Viognier aromatics tend to be a little heavier on stone fruit of peach and mango with hints of honeysuckle. The mouthfeel is clean, crisp with no oak or malolactic fermentation. The slight residual sugar and acid are in balance to add a viscous mouthfeel in the mid-palate with a crisp finish. $14.99

Line 39 Sauvignon Blanc (Ca) Vibrant aromas of grapefruit and lemon citrus, with subtle grassy characters. $10.99

Simi Cabernet Sauvignon (Ca) Rich flavors of dark plum and black cherry with a hint of spice and ripe tannins. Cabernet grapes grown in California’s Central Coast region bring flavors of blackberry, blueberry, and dried cranberry. This vibrant, fruit forward wine is laced with flavors of toasted oak and hints of warm brown spice, and finishes with velvety tannins. Elegant and food friendly, this wine is sure to please. $23.99
