Wine Club Selections
Rinaldini "Vecchio Moro"
EMILIA-ROMAGNA, ITALY | NV
This is old-school Emilia-Romagna, deep purple in the glass, bone-dry, and pulsing with energy.
Domaine Charles Audoin
MARSANNAY, FRANCE | 2023
The 2023 Marsannay Rosé comes from 60-year-old estate vines rooted in that inimitable Burgundian clay and chalky limestone from their tiny 14 hectare estate.
Scar of the Sea "Vino de los Ranchos"

Domaine de la Sarazinière "Clos des Bruyeres"

Monte Rio Cellars “Old Vine Zinfandel”
LODI, CALIFORNIA| 2022
