White
Château Nicot Blanc 2017. 60% Sauvignon Blanc 30% Sémillon 10% Muscadelle. $28.99 per bottle. Les Vignobles Dubourg produces Château Nicot Rouge, Blanc and Rosé on their family vineyard located between Saint-Emilion and Sauternes on the right bank of the Garonne river. Château Nicot blanc is a lively, young, acidified delight. The bouquet is fresh, floral and herbal. The addition of Sémillon gives a touch of creaminess that would pair well with vin blanc mussels or herbed Alfredo linguini
Domaine Moulinier Viognier 2018. 100% Viognier. $32.99 per bottle. Winemaker Stéphane Moulinier has mastered the old-world, refined style of Viognier. The nose gives banana cream pie, apricot, fresh daisy, baking spice and roasted hazelnut. The palate follows with white peach, citrus and pear with uplifting acidity. Pair with grilled halibut and apricot salsa or rosemary chicken.
Filodivino Verdicchio Classico DOC 2018. 100% Verdicchio. $35.99 per bottle. The name Verdicchio derives from “Verde” and refers to the slight green hue that wines made from the grape can have. A beautiful bouquet of almond, sea spray, pineapple, peach and pear. The palate is rich, long and dry with layers of pineapple, apple, slate and citrus. Pair with a mixed seafood salad or roasted chicken with an olive gremolata.
Château de Cérons Blanc 2016. 50% Sémillon 45% Sauvignon Blanc 5% Sauvignon Gris $49.99 per bottle. Château de Cérons is not only a listed historic monument but a lovely manor house built in the early 17th century. Polished and complex with mature citrus fruits, ginger, clove and sweet fennel. It is both soft and crisp, finishing with a touch of crystallized pineapple. Pair with halibut covered in beurre blanc or pesto Alfredo.
Château de la Greffiére Saint-Véran 2019. 100% Chardonnay. $59.99 per bottle. Stunning. A generous, deep mix of fresh and cooked peaches, honey-drizzled almond granola, and a very slight iron note on the finish. As the southernmost appellation of Burgundy, Saint-Véran overlaps slightly with the northern edge of Beaujolais, offering a slightly warmer expression of Burgundian Chardonnay. Pair with New England clam chowder or chicken Cobb.
Rosé
Domaine Moulinier Le Rosé 2018. 70% Syrah 30% Grenache. $29.99 per bottle Stéphane Moulinier is a fifth-generation winemaker, following in the footsteps of his trailblazing father who was the first in the region to plant Syrah vines. This rosé is ripe, refined and focused with a core of strawberry, raspberry, pear, and hints of dewy pink flowers. Pair with tiger prawn ceviche or paella.
Red
Gattavecchi Quotidiano DOC 2017. 70% Sangiovese 30% Merlot. $24.99 per bottle. Quotidiano means daily, each vintage label is designed by students at the University of Sienna, featuring newspaper headings from exactly 100 years ago. Silky and easy drinking with a delicious, quenching acidity. Blackberry, licorice, mild spices and a little bit of cracked black pepper. Pair with charcuterie or tomato and Mozzarella salad.
Boscarelli Cortona 2017. 100% Merlot. $39.99 per bottle. Boscarelli is known for its wines from Montepulciano, but they also make this unique 100% Merlot from grapes grown in the hills of eastern Tuscany.

Domaine Moulinier Les Sigillaires 2015. 70% Syrah 30% Grenache. $39.99 per bottle. Violet accents notes of crushed dark cherry, backed by vibrant acidity, a touch of sweet spice and red licorice. Deliciously long, round finish. Pair with flat iron steak with black truffle potatoes.
Château Bouqueyan Moulis 2015. 57% Merlot 43% Cabernet Sauvignon. $46.99 per bottle. The lords of Bouqueyran have long disappeared but the nobility of its vineyard still remains. This Cru Bourgeois Supérieur is complex, powerful and rich and can age for a good ten years or more. Plum, violet and cedar with a soft, elegant use of oak on the nose. The palate is big and easy drinking with tons of plum. Structured and balanced with lovely layers of vanilla and cedar. Pair with herbed rack of lamb with a red wine demi-glace and roasted potatoes.
Château de Cérons Rouge 2016. 55% Cabernet Sauvignon 45% Merlot. $49.99 per bottle. Served in seven Michelin Star restaurants. This 26-hectare plateau has its vines rooted deep in gravel and marine limestone rich in oceanic starfish fossils. Delightfully smooth with soft, structured tannins.
