Join us tonight 6 to 9pm to taste three new additions to our shelves: a new Montepulciano, Tempranillo and Grasevina (kind of like a Riesling, but from Croatia) from three beautiful countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea.
Italo Pietrantonj Montepulciano D’Abruzzo 2006 -$14.99 (plus 10% off)
Earthy with flavors of black berry and grape fruits and florals, this rustic Montepulciano comes from one of the oldest wineries in Abruzzo—300 years old! The winery uses 80-year-old oak barrels and concrete tanks for fermentation.
Pago Senda Misa Tempranillo 2003 -$19.99 (plus 10% off)
This Tempranillo is grown on very old, bush-trained vines in the Ribera del Duero region. Unfiltered, rustic and a little smokey with excellent fruits and hints of chocolate, it is aged six months in mature oak and fermented with native yeasts.
Enjingi Grasevina -$24.99 (plus 10% off)
From Slavonia in Northeastern Croatia, a Riesling-like grape called Grasevina grows, creating elegant, dry, full-bodied wines with the taste of warm autumn fruit. Don’t be fooled by the name—it’s a mouthful. This wine is truly rewarding and pairs well with a variety of foods, especially poultry and pork.
