*Ottoventi 2023 Terre Siciliane Bianco IGT ‘Kubila’, Sicily, Italy - (Catarratto, Grillo, Zibibbo and a touch of Chardonnay) Aromas of tropical fruit, grapefruit, white flowers and citronella. This is a fresh, modern leaning Sicilian white with interesting mineral notes and a long, clean finish.
*Rendez Vous a La Bastide 2024 Rose, IGP Mediteranee, France - (50% Caladoc, 30% Syrah, and 20% Merlot) Provençal notes of strawberries and cream with hints of tropical fruits and grapefruit zest on the palate. Medium bodied, finishing fresh with nice acidity and persistence on the finish.
*Ottoventi 2023 Terre Siciliane Rosso IGT ‘Kubila’, Sicily, Italy – (Nerello Mascalese with a touch of Nero d’Avola and Syrah) Unoaked with aromas of plums, wet terracotta clay and delicate notes of licorice and blood orange. There is a touch of graphite and black pepper on the palate. Medium bodied and dry with a touch of acidity finishing with refined tannins.
*Joao Portugal Ramos 2021 Ramos Tinto Reserva, Alentejo, Portugal – (Blend of Trincadeira, Aragonez, and touch of Syrah) “The wine is rich, finely textured and with solid tannins. The wine’s black fruits back up the ripe texture. It is going to be ready from 2024.” (WE)
Cote Mas 2023 Blanc du Midi, Pays d’Oc, France - (70% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Vermentino) – This is a bright and fresh, slightly fuller bodied summer quaffer with floral, citrus and peach notes. Nicely balanced with a touch of spice on the palate and finishing long and crispy. Another outstanding liter bottling from Cote Mas!
Santa Venere 2022 Ciro Classico Rosso Superiore, Calabria, Italy - (100% Gaglioppo grown organically)  Notes of smoky tea, savory plum fruit and hints of leather with a nice balance of round mouth feel and smooth tannins that give it both structure and elegance. Treat it like a friendlier version of a Langhe Nebbiolo.
Aneto 2021 Branco, Douro, Portugal – (40% Viosinho 30% Gouveio, 30% Cerceal Branco.) Aromas of lemon and lime zest with tart apples on the palate. Very refreshing with mouthwatering acidity and a touch of salinity on a long finish. Great for an afternoon picnic or aperitif. 11.5% ABV.
Domaine d’Eole 2016 Rouge, Coteaux d’ Aix en Provence, France – (50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Carignan) An aromatic nose of rosemary olive tapenade and slightly smoky garrigue. Built like a classic Rhone blend with great balance (9 years into a great vintage) between the acidity and the softer refined tannins. It will go perfectly with a beef tenderloin or a leg of lamb seasoned with herbs from Provence.
