Croney Three Ton Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc $12.99
Abundant sunshine, with cool nights and a long growing season helped to build and maintain the vibrant fruit flavors for which Marlborough is famous; this full-bodied wine has aromas and flavors of lime, pear, kiwi, passion fruit, and fresh mown grass leading to a creamy textured finish. While the bulk of the wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks and rested on the lees for four months prior to bottling, a tiny portion (4%) was barrel fermented in new French oak barrels to add complexity.

Cono Sur Vision Colchugua Pinot Noir $12.99
Cono Sur Winery takes its name from the shape of South America, the “Southern Cone”. The winery is located in Chimborongo, which lies in the acclaimed Colchagua Valley of Chile. The Visión line is stylish wine with a limited production, selected for their concentration and complexity, structure and character. This wine has aromas and flavors of blackberry, plum, and smoky oak.
