Besitos Valentino Moscato, $11.99
Besitos means kisses in Spanish, and this lovely little wine is kissed with sweet fruit flavors. Lightly effervescent with aromas of rose petals and peaches, this is a fantastic aperitif and a great way to start a celebration.
Il Cuore is Italian for The Heart, making this a fun way to give someone your heart. Chardonnay is blended with just a little bit of Viognier to make this lovely little wine with flavors of crisp apple, pears and spice. The subtle use of oak makes it crisp and versatile.
Yes, Sex! This Brut Rose Sparkling wine hails from Lake Michigan. Made in the Champenoise Method, this wine is comprised of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and has a pinkish salmon hue, red fruit aromas and a fruity soft style.
This is the 2006 vintage bottling of Martin Ray's Diamond Mountain Cabernet, and it's drinking beautifully right now. It is entirely dry with waves of blackberries, cherries, mocha, and plenty of sweet , smoky oak. A special buy at $20 off.
