Westmount Pinot Gris
This pick from the Willamette Valley in Oregon is fresh, bright, and crisp. With aromas of orange and peach, this pinot gris tastes like pineapple and guava with exotic spices and minerality. ($17)
Pierre Sparr Riesling
The Alsace region of France, where Pierre Sparr Riesling is made, is known throughout the world for its lovely, dry white wines. The palate of this wine is smooth and full-bodied with a juicy, lasting apple finish. ($15)
Settesoli Red Blend
This Settsoli blend is one of Tanji’s favorite reds. Made in Sicily near Mount Etna, the soil develops the grapes in a unique way. It’s lighter while still being luscious and velvety smooth. ($13)
Mionetto IL Moscato
Toast to the end of summer with bubbles! The Mionetto Moscato has aromas of peach and apricot, with slight floral overtones and delicate bubbles. ($11)
Vanita Primitivo
Our next find comes all the way from Italy: the Vanita Primitivo. Italian Zinfandels tend to be a little more subtle on the fruit, with more body and structure. This is a great wine to drink with spicy pasta or even pizza! ($15)
