Carignan, Syrah
Food Pairing: A powerful and unforgettable wine that stands up to lamb and beef dishes grilled or in stews.
100% Grenache Gris
Food Pairings: This is delicious with tapenade and grilled almonds as an aperitif or a favorite is with a creamy french cheese such as Brie de Meaux. And surprisingly it is a really good accompaniment to tagines!
Côtes Catalanes
40% Muscat, 20% Viognier, 20% Roussanne, 20% Grenache Blanc
This unusual blend of muscat, viognier, roussanne and white grenache is all from hand harvested and sorted grapes. The wine is bone dry, and grounded with minerality but with popping fruit flavors of peach, mango and citrus with spice on the finish.
This wine shines with curries, Thai food and vegetarian tagines.
100% Vermentino
Food Pairing: This crisp wine is perfect with oysters, and all other shellfish. You will not find a wine anywhere in the US that gets close to the quality of this wine for the same price. Refreshing in more ways than one!

Food pairing: This wine is luscious in your mouth with a long, flavorful finish. One of our favorites! Delight your palate with spiced, prune stuffed pork loin or holiday turkey with sage-cornbread stuffing and cranberry sauce.
