Behold! Some excellent value wines… Gotta love it!

Stepping Stone Rocks!  NAPA Valley California 2010
Rock out with your Coq out! Stepping Stone Rocks, 2010 from NAPA Valley by Corner Stone is a unique blend of Chardonnay and Muscat, resulting in a fruity, juicy, approachable, food friendly wine. A great pairing with turkey, game birds, and of course, coq au vin, Stepping Stone Rocks! will put smiles on faces. A sassy, tasty wine that is also a smokin’ deal.

Mas Amor Rosato Spain, 2010
We are unabashed rose lovers, you can’t go wrong when bringing a bottle of pink to a dinner party, or simply to drink with friends. Mas Amor, has much to recommend it, starting with the crazy, fun graffiti label and ending with the last drop of this weighty, deep pinkish red wine. Notes of cranberry, cherry and red currants are balanced with citrusy acidity and a long finish. Mas Amor’s versatility will let you confidently pair it with turkey, chicken, duck or ham, cheese and egg tarts, grilled meat, spicy pasta and salads. Have fun! Don’t worry about the wine, this one has your back. 50% Garnacha and 50% Carenina = 100 % deliciousness.

Weingut Rappenhof  Oppenheimer Herrenburg Reisling Kabinett Halbtrocken, Germany
Ok, the Germans really believe in lots of information. Reading a German wine label is an education unto itself.  We have done the work for you, and tasty Weingut Rappenhof was worth it. A dry reisling, Weingut is a beautiful gold in the glass with notes of melon and apples on the nose followed by apple, a hint of lime and minerals on the palate. It will refresh and revive. Pair with turkey, pork, grilled meats, spicy foods- Xmas Eve Chinese take-out springs to mind- sushi, and most importantly, the ones you love. XO

Zardetto Prosecco, Veneto, Italy
A frothy, fizzy Prosecco from Veneto, what could be better on a holiday morning- or brunch, or evening…

Fresh and fragrant, with peaches, lime and lemongrass on the nose and creamy with stone fruit, straw and white peaches on the palate with a long, complex fizzy and fun finish. Drink this in bed with breakfast or in front of the TV watching Breathless and La Dolce Vita. Zardetto pairs well with turkey, chicken, duck, carpaccio, pork in all of its glory, salty cheeses, egg dishes, all fish, especially scallops, oysters and smoked salmon, fresh baking and love.
