MICHELE
Familie Bauer “Barig” Alte Reben 2019
“This orange Gruner Veltliner blend is crisp, funky, and refreshing, with explosive notes of pear, orange, quince, and spice. Pair with creamy cheeses, pulled pork tacos, and Jamie Foxx’s performance in ‘Project Power’ on Netflix.”
Kumeu Village Pinot Noir 2018
Light, elegant, crushable ― this is New Zealand Pinot Noir at it's very best. This is perfect with a chill or on its own with a charcuterie plate and Season 2 of "The Umbrella Academy."

“Surreptitiously refreshing! Fresh and dried berries and a tangy pop. Try it with spicy food or veggies!”
AMORA
Uivo “Renegado” 2019
“This summer red will charm you with ripe raspberries, cherries and gentle earthiness. Serve chilled, but be careful, you just might drink the whole bottle!”
Caravaglio Malvasia 2019
“This is a bold, coastal white that teases you with floral aromas before enticing you with a perfect balance of volcanic minerality, tropical citrus, and melon.
