Sampling Selection #1:
2022 Abbazia Cantine San Gaudenzio Pinot Grigio
$14.99 on sale
If you love Sancerre, other Sauvignon Blancs & definitely Pinot Grigio, you must jump on this!
Love Santa Margherita? Try this!
This wine should be in your rotation as the wine pairs amazing with salads, shellfish, Thai food & many cuisines!
We don’t buy too many great Pinot Grigio that appeal to other white drinkers too but we nailed it with this one!
92 Points Luca Maroni, Annuario dei Migliori Vini Italiani
-------
Sampling Selection #2:
2020 Uko Cabernet Sauvignon Select Vineyard Reserva
$14.99 on sale
If you are drinking Decoy, Joel Gott or Josh ... wait until you taste this!!
When it comes to premium reds, Mendoza is a hot spot for small production wines that hold the same quality in other regions at a price point 2 or 3 times what you will pay. This is a single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from UKO's best vineyards. It spends 12 months in French Oak which is where the richness of the wine comes from.
Expect Intense dark purple red aromas. Black pepper, red pepper and red fruits, notes of chocolate, clove, and coffee. Long and smooth on the palate. This is a tremendous bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon at a price far less than what you might expect!
92 Points James Suckling:
"Blackberries, cassis, cherries, lemon peel, dried lavender, walnuts, bark and baking spices on the nose. Medium to full body with tight, chewy tannins. Dark and structured. Fresh, delicious finish. Drink from 2024."
-------
Sampling Selection #3:
2020 Casa Mirafiore Pietra Magica Langhe Rosso
$19.99 on sale
This is a wildly unique wine from Piedmont that every Barolo and Barbaresco fan needs to check out!
Pietra Magica is made using a fascinating process where the Nebbiolo is fermented on its own skins but is also passed over the skins of the estate's Barbera grapes. The result is a stunning color and mind-blowing aromatics!
When you try this wine you will honestly believe it is a $50-$60 dollar bottle, we can't wait for everyone to taste this!
92 Points Wine Enthusiast:
"This unique wine made of Nebbiolo that is passed over the skins of Barbera opens with aromas of split cherries, sweet tobacco, anise and dried herbs. The palate is loaded with plum flavors with hints of camphor and rosewood. Elegantly crafted with a bright lift on the finish."
-------
Sampling Selection #4:
2020 Robert Craig Affinity
$49.99 on sale
The name Robert Craig is synonymous with quality in Napa Valley and the 2020 Affinity is exhibit A!! 
Affinity is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with small portions of Petit Verdot, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc.
Big, bold and structured, this is ideal for gifting or to stock up and enjoy with friends and family!
92 Points Antonio Galloni, Vinous:
"The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Affinity benefits from having been picked before the Glass Fire. Bright red-toned fruit, rose petal, dried flowers and blood orange lend energy to this exotic Napa Valley red from vineyards in Coombsville. There's a bit more Merlot than usual in this year's blend, and that works well for the wine's balance."

- Carr Valley Cheese Company "Bread Cheese" 6oz -
$7.99 each
Inspired by the Finnish cheese Juustoleipa, or cheese bread, this 'squeaky' cheese has a very buttery flavor, and the heat from baking caramelizes the sugars on the outside of the cheese to form a tasty crust similar to brown bread.

Before serving, pop it in your oven, saute it in a skillet, or microwave until it glistens. Carr Valley Cheese is the most award-winning cheese company in the world with over 750 awards and counting. Combining traditional techniques with innovative affinage, different milk types and unique flavors

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!
