Marotti Campi Salmariano Verdicchio 2018
$23.99
The Marotti Campi estate is one of the most important in the Castelli di Jesi zone and has been a leading producer of verdicchio and lacrima di morro d’alba for generations. The farm, founded in the 19th century, has 52 hectares planted to vine, all of which are cultivated using sustainable techniques. The first wine for this tasting is their Salmariano Castelli Classico Riserva Verdicchio. It ages for 12 months in stainless steel with 20% aging for the same amount of time in small oak barrels. A beautiful and delicate wine with notes of apple, citrus, and noticeable yet restrained oak.
Benazzoli, Bardolino Dafne 2021
$16.99
Bardolino is located on the eastern shores of Lake Garda in the Veneto region of north-eastern Italy. The Benazzoli family have been making benchmark bardolino in the Val d’Adige for over 50 years. Winemaker Claudia and her agronomist sister Giulia created the Benazzoli label in 2006 after being taught by their grandfather and father that being winegrowers above all, means being respectful: respect for traditions, nature, and territory. Their aim is to continue in their family’s footsteps but with an eye on the future and a constant desire for improvement. Bardolino is known for bright, light bodied reds which are great for everyday consumption. It has notes of cherry, strawberry, rose and spice with gentle, easy-going tannin. A quaffable and affordable delight!
Terre Montefili Chianti Classico 2019
$35.99
Chianti is made throughout the Tuscany region but the Chianti Classico region is the oldest and considered by many the best Chianti producing zone. Wines from this region have stricter standards requiring a minimum of 80 percent sangiovese grapes and must be aged for at least 10 months. The Vecchie Terre di Montefili estate is located in Panzano, a village in the heart of Chianti. The winery is led by winemaker and agronomist Serena Gusmeri who is committed to creating a future-facing winery dedicated to realizing the bold, successful and sustainable new era of Chianti Classico. She describes her winemaking as not following a recipe but allowing each vineyard to be a voyage of discovery dictated by its conditions. Her Chianti Classico has flavors of cranberry, ripe redcurrant, and clove-spice balanced with moderate acidity and well integrated tannins.

$23.99

The fragrance is zesty and lemony. On the palate, dried herbs, juicy florals, and green pepper come forward, plus a trace of vegetal savoriness. Finishes light, with lively lemon zest. After 15 hours of roasting, agave is shredded and fermented with a special house yeast in the distillery's original cement vat for 6-7 days, and finally pot distilled and double-filtered before bottling.
La Gritona, Reposado Tequila
$40.99
La Gritona is a reposado tequila from the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. Owner and operator Melly Barajas, along with a group of local women, produce this tequila in a small distillery using locally grown agave.

Since it’s a reposado tequila, La Gritona is slightly aged before bottling. The spirit sits in ex-Jack Daniels barrels for 8 months to accentuate the agave characteristics without adding too much flavor from the barrel. There’s more in-depth information on the distilling process on the La Gritona website.
