Also rising are liters of bone-dry, refreshing Riesling, full-figured Spätburgender (that's Pinot Noir, now the third most-planted grape in Germany!), and a lightly sweet red blend christened the "Red Sheep" to help us usher in the Year of the Sheep. Rheinhessen represent!

Post-Holiday Budget Recovery 2:
 Bountiful Boxes!
Hot on the heels of last week's budget-relief tasting, we are excited to roll out yet another installment of pocketbook sparing features which allow you to tread lightly on your checkbook and save cash while savoring deeply the flavors of delicious wines. This week, we turn to that most generous bastion of bounty, the noble THREE LITER BOX. Each is a loving care package filled with the equivalent of FOUR BOTTLES of delightful, estate-produced wine. Italy, Chile, and France come to our rescue this Saturday!
Viña Apaltagua
Sauvignon Blanc 2014
"Gran Verano"
{sustainable} 100% Sauvignon Blanc
(Curico, Chile)
GRAPEFRUIT & PINEAPPLE, RACY YET RIPE, BOLD & ZESTY

"Asinoi"
{biodynamic} 100% Barbera (Piemonte, Italy)
LEATHER & CURRANT, TANGY BALSAMIC WITH A KISS OF FUNK
Matteo and Luca Garberoglio are the genial, laid-back dudes behind the 85 year-old Carussin estate, where they spend their days brewing beer and hanging out with donkeys. Oh, and making incredible wine. This powerful Barbera is an homage to the noble donkey, the raising of which has been a passion for Matteo and Luca's mother Bruna...

{organic} 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 20% Carignan (Languedoc, France) SMOKY BERRIES, GARRIGUE & BLACK TEA

Montepulciano
d'Abruzzo 2010
{organic} 100% Montepulciano
(Abruzzo, Italy)
WARM CINNAMON, DEEP PURPLE FRUIT, COZY & COMFORTING
Antonio Lamona has created a self-sustaining paradise in Morro d'Oro, cultivating organic vineyards on breeze-kissed slopes that rise above the Adriatic. Sea. With inviting aromas of spiced plum cake that mellow into deep berry fruits...
