Hello, sunshine! Summer is nearly here and we're ready to sip and swirl. Grab your sunnies and flip flops and head to your local Nugget Markets to check out these wonderful wines. Ranging from fun and bubbly to double award winners, there is most certainly something for everyone in our latest wines of the month.

Calvet Crémant de Bordeaux Brut Rosé: When you think of wine from the Bordeaux region in France, sparkling and pink might not be the first things that come to mind, but this wine will is sure to change that. Made from mostly merlot grapes, this bubbly wine has a creamy texture with soft acidity and light cherry fruit notes. A fantastic wine to kick off any festive occasion.

Domaine Tinel-Blondelet Pouilly-Fumé: This family of winegrowers goes back 12 generations, now in this area of the Loire River Valley. The sauvignon blanc grapes for this particular wine are grown on hilltops overlooking the river, where the soil is made up of fossilized oyster shells from the ancient seabed that used to be here. A noticeable minerality runs through the wine as a result.

Les Calandieres Rosé: For our adult beverage team, this wine was love at first sight. Already smitten by the bottle shape and color scheme of the label, we fortunately fell for the wine inside just as much. Grown along the Mediterranean coastline in the south of France, the grapes used in this blend have an underlying acidity that brings the bright, vibrant fruit notes to the forefront.  

Husch 2017 Chenin Blanc: This Double Gold Medal-winner from the 2018 California State Fair Wine Competition is a great example of what this grape can do when given the proper treatment. This dry version is complex and delicious with aromas and flavors of orange blossom, peach, honeydew and citrus zest. Enjoy with semi-soft cheese or roasted white meats.

Find these and other fine wines, beers and spirits in the adult beverage department of your local Nugget Markets. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on of our friendly and talented wine stewards while you’re there!

Selection varies by store.
