Sampling Selection #1:
2022 Haselgrove First Cut Sauvignon Blanc
$19.98 on sale
The perfect Sauvignon Blanc to take you into the Fall! 
The Haselgrove First Cut is a wildly refreshing and crisp white that blew us away. Extremely aromatic with green apple and lime aromas, this checks all the boxes in what we look for in Sauvignon Blanc.
Every white wine drinker needs to give this a try and stock up!
93 Points Sam Kim, Wine Orbit:
"Offering excellent fruit purity, the intensely aromatic bouquet shows Granny Smith apple, nectarine, kaffir lime and sweet basil aromas, followed by a succulent palate delivering vibrancy and lively mouthfeel. Upfront and super tasty. At its best: now to 2027."
-------
Sampling Selection #2:
2022 Giovanna Tantini Bardolino Chiaretto Rose
$14.99 on sale
This was our top-selling Rosé all Summer and once you try it you will see why!
The Tantini family has owned their farm for more than 100 years but it wasn't until this century that Giovanna Tantini began bottling the wines. These vineyards are overseen by famed vineyard manager Federico Curtaz who previously managed the vineyards for Angelo Gaja (yes, that Gaja)!
The grapes used in this Rosé are mostly Corvina and Rondinella, the same varieties used in Bardolino's inland neighbor Valpolicella. This is a serious rosé that will make the ideal transition from Summer to Fall!
93 Points Wine Enthusiast:
"This rosé is fun yet serious. It opens with crunch and vibrant tart cherries and pomegranate notes with subtle herbal hints in the background. The palate is light and lifted yet complex with a salty and peppery finish. -JP"
92 Points Decanter:
"This crunchy Chiaretto, the result of the separate vinification of Corvina, Rondinella and (traces of) Molinara, is born among the majestic moraines south of the lake. Ageing in stainless steel tanks at 8°C for six months gives delicate notes of red fruits, soft and tasty, enlivened by hints of pepper and aromatic herbs for a harmonious sip."
-------
Sampling Selection #3:
2019 Nestore Bosco Montepulciano D'abruzzo Linea Classica
$13.99 on sale
Anyone drinking the "Stick Wine" will absolutely flip for this!
We are always looking for a great pizza wine and this has been a reliable pick! Intense ruby in color with flavors of plum and cherries, this wine is a stunner!
Stock up on this Montepulciano for any upcoming get-together because this is the definition of a crowd-pleaser.
90 Points James Suckling:
"Aromas of overturned earth, coriander and wild blackberries. Medium-to full-bodied with plenty of tasty savory character. Fine, slightly chewy tannins. Black tea and forest herbs on the palate. Drink now."
-------
Sampling Selection #4:
2022 Domaine Hautes Troglodytes Saumur Champigny
$19.99 on sale
This is a unique and delicious wine that flies under the radar, everyone looking to try something new is going to fall in love!
Saumur-Champigny is nestled right in the heart of the Loire Valley and produces world-class Cabernet Franc. These unique wines are simply amazing and will really open your mind to how good 100% Cabernet Franc wines can be!
90 Points James Suckling:
"A fruity and juicy red with raspberries, cherries and sweet spices on the nose. Medium-bodied with silky tannins and fresh acidity. Supple with a sour cherry character towards the finish. Drink now."

This Week's Gourmet Department Highlights!
We're going crazy for Blue Cheese this weekend at the Wine Library!
- Shropshire Blue -
$19.99/lb
Pairs with: sliced apples, pears, shortbreads
Created as a 20th-century update to the classic English Stilton, the Shropshire Blue sets itself apart with its sunny yellow hue.
Hand-ladled curds create a creamy, dense paste with moderate blue veining and subtle mineral flavor that gives way to an earthy, russet-colored rind.
Try it with a spoonful of Divina Sour Cherry Spread and a bowl or some chocolate for a punchy and sweet treat.
-------
- Gorgonzola Dolce -
$15.99/lb
Pairs with: honey, candied nuts, pears
Perfect for people who are wary of blue cheese and don’t enjoy the spicier types.
Gorgonzola Dolce DOP is a soft, high-moisture blue cheese from the Piedmont and Lombardy regions of Italy. Made with pasteurized cow's milk, this cheese is aged for 45 days in warm rooms.
It has delicate blue and green veining and is milder than Gorgonzola Piccante DOP. The cheese boasts a luxurious, creamy, and spreadable texture with a milky and mildly piquant flavor. Its oozing paste and blooming blue veins give a sweet, nutty taste.
For a delightful experience, pair it with fresh fruits, honey, and slightly sweet sparkling wines.
-------
- Neal's Yard Colston Bassett Stilton -
$35.99/lb
Pairs with: ports, walnuts, chocolate
Colston Bassett is the smallest and most traditional dairy-producing Stilton (regulations require it to be made in a specific region of England).
The dairy has been buying milk from the same five neighboring farms since the 1920's, and to date has had only three head cheesemakers.
Hand-ladled curds and animal rennet contribute to an exemplary Stilton: moist, minerally, fruity and complex. Not strong, but robust.

Wine Talk Wednesday is back!
If you have never attended Wine Talk Wednesday in the past, you've been missing out.
To give you a brief breakdown of what WTW is, it's an in-store wine sampling and seminar held at our physical store in Springfield, NJ.
While sampling wine is by far the best part, we also provide a fun educational side to the wine sampling that helps our customers understand the history, winemaking and the style of the particular wine in front of them.
You may say to yourself, "WOW this is amazing", but what's even better is that it's ALL FREE.
We kindly ask you to RSVP so we can gauge how many people we will be hosting!
