Mambo Italiano, Samba De Janeiro, and Argentine Tango!

Nothing like wine or an authentic Caipirinha to put you in the dancing mood—especially on a steamy night like tonight. Enjoy the tail end of summer with these Italian and Argentine wines or a traditional Brazilian beverage.

Alberto Longo Negroamaro Rosé “Donnadele” 2008

A pale salmon color, the rosé smells rich and floral. 100% Negroamaro, it is fermented in stainless steel tanks after short contact with the must and skins. Try it with light fish--squeeze a little lemon on top. Pick up one of only 6,500 bottles made.

Terre Gaie Prosecco

Made by a family operation on a 50-acres estate located in northern Italy, this Prosecco is dry, crisp and fruity. Everything tastes better from small, family-run vineyards. Give it a try.

Baqueano Cabernet/Malbec 2008

A 60-40% Cab-Malbec blend from southern Argentina with flavors of cassis, blackberry, violets and tobacco. It's complex and sexy, like women ;-).

Try My Caipirinha

We're don't usually drink Caipirinhas from a bottle. We like the way the Barbossa staff grinds the lime with the sugar. That said, this
Caipirinha changed the way we think about pre-made drinks. All natural ingredients: fresh limes, special Cachaça Guapiara, sugar cane and pure mineral water go into this bottle. Simple and sweet for a hot summer night.
