2018 Domaine Laroque Rosé: We fell in love with this winery’s cabernet franc several years ago and now we get to enjoy their rosé made from the same grape. The rosé has a light salmon color with flavors of strawberry, pink grapefruit and a light savory note that balances the ripe fruit flavors.
2017 Castle Rock Mendocino County Pinot Noir: This amazing wine was a gold medal winner at this year’s California State Fair wine competition. Pick up a bottle and see if you agree with the judges—we sure do!
2017 Tangent Sauvignon Blanc: Planted in the cool region of Edna Valley in 1973, Paragon Vineyard provides the grapes for this crisp version of sauvignon blanc. No oak is used on the wine, resulting in a bright, tangy wine with citrus, guava and chalk minerality notes.
Faire La Fête Brut Rosé: Hailing from the Limoux region of southern France, this sparkling wine is on the drier side with a creamy finish. It’s made in the traditional method with pinot noir, chardonnay and chenin blanc grapes and is aged for 12 months on its lees before release.
